Vision
We strive to rise above. Even in difficult circumstances, we can improve and transform ourselves.
🪷 The lotus rises from the mud but is not mired by it
Our community focus areas are:
- teamwork
- improvement
- integrity
- resilience
- empathy
Community Rules and Requirements
- Be nice, respectful, and kind to all.
- Be respectful and kind to guild members, especially those who donate time and effort to lead.
- Represent [WL] well in action, text, and voice. Respect commanders, members, and others.
- Be positive as much as possible. Sometimes things go wrong – try to roll with it.
- We encourage open conversation but ask that personal opinions be shared respectfully and not used to criticize or target others (in text, voice, or other media).
- Refrain from posting divisive or bait topics.
- Teamwork is important.
- Be your best self.
- Be empathetic.
- Be open to growth, improvement, and learning new skills.
- Maintain positivity and roll with the punches.
- WL is PG-13 as many guild members have children. Keep chat and behavior family friendly.
Don’t yawn on voice channel. That’s what the mute button is for!
Recommendations
- Rise above. Don’t let negativity or toxic influences dim your spirit.
- Be resilient. Just as the lotus grows through muddy waters, your challenges shape you.
- Keep an open mind. Change is inevitable. Be open to growth, improvement, and learning new skills.
Community. Family. Team.
White Lotus of the Mists was started at WvW launch. We’ve lasted over a decade and are stronger than ever.
