High ranks are the In Character leaders of the server in their respective clans/groups. They are the members you look up to and may reach out to in issues involving your clan and so on. They are still to be respected as they are human at the end of the day. High Ranks are expected to have at least 3 posts per week outside of ceremonies and gatherings. Engaging with the clan, patrolling, diplomatic missions and many others can count for those 3 posts. To ensure activity in the clans, we ask High Ranks meet this quota without failure every week. Failure for 2 weeks will result in a demotion.
But we are not monsters- if something is going on you have the right to present a case to the staff to keep your high rank. We will work with each High Rank individually to ensure the best scenario between them and the server.
