About Us

Beyond the Core is a guild founded in the wake of several keys members of Gunslinger Priests leaving for greener pastures, we set out to create a guild that would strive to create an inclusive and friendly community that anyone will feel welcome within. If you're looking for a guild to join but feel intimidated by guilds you shouldn't be here, we welcome players no matter their gear, skill level, age, race, gender, gender identity, or even if you're a sentient AI trying to imitate humanity. As long as you're mature and friendly you have a place within our ranks.

As a guild we frequently go dungeon diving into the Clockworks doing things like Dauntless Delver runs, all sorts of hectic messing-around amidst various depths, not to mention we go around slaying bosses and running the daily Prestige and Danger missions. Our lower tiered and skilled members will find themselves both able to progress through missions and tiers with players of their own skill and be able to look to our more skilled members for advice and assistance, where as the upper echelon of the guild will be able to look forward to weekly Shadow Lairs, guild Lockdown matches and all sorts of interesting challenge runs. As a guild we constantly aim to run all sorts of weird events, from screenshot competitions to fashion contests, we like to think that there's something for everyone here. For more extensive details regarding any of the previously listed activies, check out the Wiki Talk Page.

We have one and only one rule; be nice. We expect you to be respectful and friendly both to your fellow guild members, and other players of Spiral Knights whether in Haven, the Clockworks or the official forums. As a guild we don't tolerate mean spirited behaviour, if you're found to be behaving in a bigoted, elitist or in an otherwise hateful manner you'll find yourself expelled from our ranks immediately. That being said whilst we do not explicitly ban the use of rude language, as a guild that welcomes players of any age or minority we prefer you refrain from using offensive terms in the guild chat, you won't be outright punished for it however if people within the guild are made to feel uncomfortable because of it you will be asked to stop, and upon persistence may be removed. If you feel any member of the guild is causing a problem, message one of the Officers or Guild Masters explaining the situation, taking screenshots of the chat log is also appreciated.

If you wish to join us, post an application in our official recruiting thread or mail one of our Guild Masters in-game.

Ranking Up in the Guild Explained

Here at Beyond the Core, we do not believe in having an arbitrary set of requirements that if met, result in instantaneous promotion. Instead all rank increased are done at the discretion of Officers and Guild Masters, based on individual judgment to ensure that the people who are promoted are those that deserve to be, not those who can tick a few boxes on a list. That being said however there are some guide lines on how to get yourself promoted;

Recruit to Member

• Recruits are promoted when they've demonstrated a desire to partake in guild runs, actively use the guild chat to socialize with their fellow members and show a commitment to helping the guild become a better place. Usually these things are silently monitored by Officers and GMs and when we feel it appropriate the promotion will be given out, although generally speaking this can be expected to take place sometime nearing the end of your first week in the guild or beginning of the second, if you get along well with other members and enjoy it here.

Member to Veteran

• Promotion to Veteran unlike with basic Membership is something that requires a much more proactive effort and is a title that actually carries weight. Veterans are players who demonstrate skill in the Clockworks whether running basic missions or the hardest of Shadow Lairs, and are expected to be able to lead runs if the need arises. Beyond simply being skilled players however Veterans are people who are dedicated to furthering the guild, they help us pay the Guild Hall upkeep as well as contribute to the Guild Treasury frequently, they help us recruit new members and tutor out existing recruits and they even help maintain things like our Wiki Page and Youtube channel. They are the life-blood of the guild, and without them the guild would be a much worse place.

Veteran to Officer

• An officer promotion is made under exceptional circumstances, when someone has been an asset to the guild in a way that most people never will be, they are someone that has gone above and beyond the call of order in helping establish the guild and as a result they have been awarded the most prestigious title a promotion can give you, they are to be respected and acknowledged since without them a lot of things the guild can and does do wouldn't be possible.

Guild Masters

• There is no guideline for this, as there is no way that such a promotion may happen, outside of the event of a preexisting Guild Master stepping down from their position. This is a rank that only the people who are in essence the "heart" of the guild itself may possess, without them Beyond the Core wouldn't exist at all.
