* Sorcs/Conjs/Necros/Illusionist � Do NOT even THINK about coming to a 
  Zone unless you have backup books scribed and on store where you pop.

* Shamans - Likewise, make sure you have totems on store at your pop
  location.

* Try not to "chit chat" on gsay, uses guildchat if you must, or tells.

* Tog Wimpy 0 - And NEVER flee unless leader specifically states you 
  are able to do so.

* DO NOT move around the zone or walk anywhere without the leader 
  specifically telling you to.  This includes corpse dragging.

* When leader says moving - STAND IMMEDIATELY (Make a trigger)

* Do NOT cast while the group is moving, or after the leader has said 
  moving.

* Clerics - MASS HEAL on area spells but do not over heal the mob!

* DO NOT STACK SPELLS especially vits.

* Do not mem until the leader says to, or do so in battle if you are 
  out of spells.

* If leader says its safe to mem in a particular direction out of the
  fight.. use the RETREAT command if you are engaged.

* If there is a mass death - DONT STAND ABOUT picking your nose and 
  just waiting to be ressed.
       - Start mem'ing or praying immediately.
       - If you're a sorc and the zone has to be teleported to, do it
         immediately, dont wait to be asked.
       - Tanks & Hitters should find some minor'ed or crap weapons.
-	Consent the clerics right away just incase it isn�t a mass
-	 Be ready to get ressed, this is not the time to go afk.

* If you question how something is done, send a tell to the zone leader politely.
  There is usually a good reason why they are doing it. 

* If you are lagging, let the zone leader know this.

* Do not just AFK.  Ask a leader for permission and try to give him
  adequate warning of when you will have to AFK so he can prepare.

* Leading zones on Duris is a trying and difficult experience.  The players
  are not known for their patience.  Treat leaders with respect and make
  their job as easy as possible.  The main complaints leaders have
  mostly revolve around people simply not paying attention.  Every time
  it takes 30 seconds to do some simple action, that is 30 more seconds
  wasted.

* If you have complaints about something, like a split, do not bitch.
  Just decide if it is a legitimate reason to stop following that leader.
If you do not follow these rules, it can cause you and/or your entire 
group to loose your corpse and entire set of equipment. Most importantly, pay
attention and be alert, don't muck about, it can get you and everyone else
killed.

Smaller guilds tend to be more lenient and patient with these things, and
as I have here will explain them and give you once or twice to get it right. 
However if you find yourself in a zone with a primary guild (eg: Marauders, Legacy of Light), they will
generally EXPECT people to inherently know these things and have no patience for
mistakes or people that do not know these and other things, so be aware.
