TDV being a large and well respected multi-game Guild on Star Wars Galaxies (Farstar server) Everquest 2 (Splitpaw Server) & World of Warcraft (Outland Server), Lord of the Rings Online (Snowbourn Server), Aion and Warhammer Online (Karak-Norn Server).

We strive to maintain this good standing by enforcing a Code of Conduct for all our members. The Guild Leaders and the Guild Council uphold this Code of Conduct and any complaints about members breaking this Code of conduct either from within our outside the Guild should be directed towards them, you can find who the leaders and council are by looking at the structure page above.

Getting Help

1. If an Officer, Council Member or Guild Leader asks you to stop doing or saying something there is usally a good reason for this please follow their instructions immediately.
2. If you have a problem or grievance with a TDV member or other player you should firstly contact an Elder for advice. An Elder may involve the council or leaders.
3. If you feel the complaint is strong enough you can contact a council member to resolve. The council member may involve the rest of the council or guild leader.
4. For major guild problems a Council Meeting is called to discuss an outcome.
   If a player breaks the TDV rules or doesn't follow the code of conduct the player may be warned or removed from the guild by a Council Member or Guild leader. The Council will usually meet before such drastic action is taken.
