Priority entry will be given to those who are willing to assist in crowd-funding, if you are willing to assist please either post on the forum or contact myself (DerekC1990) directly here on the POE website.

[Inactive Players]
If you are no longer going to be active in the League (2 weeks or more) please leave, you will be given priority when rejoining.
++ Before leaving please message me so I can ensure you're given priority upon rejoining (This may not be necessary in the future, this is my first time hosting a private League so please bear with me for the time being as I learn).

If a player is found to be inactive they will be removed from the League (you WILL NOT be given priority when rejoining, it is in your best interest to leave on your own).

As of 2019/12/28: New donors are no longer guaranteed to not be kicked as it is extremely hard to track. If you donated prior to this point in time, you should not be kicked, however if you somehow are please let me personally know by PMing me and I'll resolve the issue ASAP.

[Code of Conduct]
You must follow all guidelines set by GGG, including but not limited to, those listed here: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1457463
Additionally any players found to be "toxic", "bad mannered", a scammer, etc... will NOT be invited back for, or allowed to join, additional seasons. They also will be ineligible for the end of season MTX giveaways, and any other rewards that may be added. Lastly I also reserve the right to remove you from the current Season. All of this is at my sole discretion, with the only exception* to this rule being for those who donated for their spot before 12/27/2019 as this section was not yet added at that point.
* Please note, this exception does NOT cover your eligibility for the next Season.

[In Game Chat Channel]
We're currently utilizing global channel 6987.
++ To join the channel just type "/global 6987" into chat, without the quotes of course; and then just hit enter.

[Discord]
We have a Discord so you can chat, ask question, trade, etc... Click here to join: https://discord.gg/JwhZrtu

[Additional Information / Q&A]
Q: How does the winner of the Microtransaction receive their prize?
A: "To arrange a gift, please contact support@grindinggear.com at any time!" source: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2036655

Q: Why aren't there any Races like "First to level 90", "First to clear X act", "First to kill x boss", etc...?
A: This is the first Season, as there is no starting lineup of players yet there wouldn't really be a "Race" persay. Starting in Season 2 we will add Race challenges and rewards.

Q: Are there any recruitment rewards?
A: Currently there are no specific recruitment rewards. The value of the Microtransaction Giveaway at the end of the Season does increase with more level 85+ chars, and will provide you with more people to play with. In the future if we can get enough helpers based on community size, we will consider adding specific recruitment rewards.

[2019/12/27: Member Count/Status Update]
Spoiler
Hello Everyone!

I'm excited to say that we officially have our first 10 players! If anyone else would like to request to join please do so, it is extremely helpful in gauging ongoing interest in the League!

Remember, if you want into the League immediately you will need to donate 10 coins to the crowdfund goals/League. One non-paid member on the waiting-list will be approved each time a paid member is approved.

Additional batches of 5 to 10 non-paid members on the waiting-list will be approved at random intervals in order to keep the League active/interesting.

I look forward to playing with you all tomorrow! Please consider joining the Discord to keep in touch/communicate outside of game, and be able to voice-chat with others in the League while playing.

Thanks for the support/interest!
- Derek

discord link is expired


Sorry about that, I completely forgot to set it to never expire; the link has now been updated.
Currently sitting at 13 members for launch. Considering I posted this during the Christmas Holiday and it's launching just a few days after, that's not too bad. Hopefully we can get a few more entries in time for launch at 6pm PST/9pm EST today :)
My only wish is that it would fire sooner today. 10pm start doesn't leave a LOT of time to play today C:

Edit: And It seems as though the start time has already been bumped up a couple of hours. Or maybe It showed the wrong time when I applied yesterday. No matter, looking forward to playing with you all

I didn't modify anything, so it must have been showing the wrong time. My thinking behind the 6pm PST/9pm EST launch time was to hopefully allow West Coast players who work from 9 to 5 enough time to get home and hop on for launch. In the future we'll run a poll and let everyone vote on what the launch date and time should be in order to best accommodate everyone :)
looks cool
Currently have over 20 active characters with 30+ members, anyone who wants to join is being approved within a few hours or less. Please post, or request an invite here: https://www.pathofexile.com/private-leagues/league/Guardian+League+Season+I if you're interested in joining!

Thank you! :D

P.S. Look forward to playing with you all soon.
Thanks for accepting me, totally wish I coulda started on the start date. Maybe next time ill be around for the launch.
