---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to the first round of applications for our very first UTOPIAN members! Please make sure you have read the GUIDE for Future UTOPIANs as well as everything on this page before you apply.
Anyone can apply, regardless of your gold, status, etc. Even if you are not a regular of the charity you can still apply but chatting and posting makes you stand out and have a greater chance of being chosen.
* Every LAST weekend of the month UTOPIA's doors will be open for up to 30 new UTOPIANs (We can range from having 1 new member or the whole 30 new members). So how does UTOPIA choose? First check if you qualify based on our requirements, and then make sure you’re one of the first 30 people to apply.
* REMEMBER, applications to be a member starts on the 21st and ends on 31st of each month. If you apply in June, you are applying to be a JULY member, NOT a June member.
* A NEW JOURNAL entry will be made for each month, so DONT POST an application for an older month (Ex. July on a June Recruitment entry).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW TO START:
STEP 1:
Fill in the following information and post it here as a journal comment.
Editing your application is allowed ONLY during the application period.

STEP 2:
On the first Sunday of JUNE, Please check this journal again and view if your name is listed as qualified member.
If it is, congratulations! Wait for your Monthly Collectible Gift and Guild Invite.(PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR GUILD INVITES OPTION IS OPEN). Now move on to step 3.
If your name is not listed sorry, but you have to wait for the next journal entry to re-apply for next month.
Please don't be offended if you aren't picked the first time; we might just want to get to know you better before we accept your application, or maybe you made a mistake on your application ^^;
STEP 3:
And if your name is listed, wait for a PM from us with your UTOPIAN ID. You are required to place the tag either in your sig or your "ABOUT ME" section of your profile. This way we can easily identify if you are a member and you can avail the benefits of UTOPIA without any questions.
EXAMPLE OF AN ID TAG:
The UTOPIAN ID shows your gaian number (so regardless if you change names this won't matter) and when you joined UTOPIA.
NOTE: IDs are required at all times, so if you lost it just post a PROFILE COMMENT in UTOPlAN mule to request for the IMAGE LINK.
In the sample above, it shows UTOPlAN mule's gaia number and the month of JUNE.
STEP 4:
Be sure to check out the Utopian Guild if you haven't already. Click HERE!
Enjoy your membership benefits, which include:
* Your 1 Free Monthly Collectible Item
* Guild Membership
* Access to member-only shop discounts
* Participation in giveaways, contests and more
* Meeting new friends!
* More features to be announced soon
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
MISCELLANEOUS:
ACCEPTED BUT NO PM FROM US?
If you haven't heard from us by the 2nd weekend of your month of application (this case its June) and your name is listed as accepted applicants, please PM the mule UTOPlAN.
UTOPIA's Monthly QUOTA:
Please remember UTOPIA have a monthly quota in applications, if we have 37 qualified applicants, the last 7 will have to re-apply. Posting your application early does make a difference.
WHEN/HOW CAN I RE-APPLY IF I WASN'T ACCEPTED?
A new entry for the following month's application will be posted again. So if 1st week of June you didn't become a UTOPIAN, wait for the entry on the 3rd weekend of June to apply for July. Don't post application earlier than 21st of that month.
UPDATES and CHANGES:
More information would be added, certain changes may apply for each month so be sure to re-read the GUIDE for Future UTOPIANS and new journal entry in case we have some changes.
I HAVE A QUESTION NOT ANSWERED HERE:
Please post a comment in the mule UTOPlAN's Profile, or PM the mule directly. Do NOT post it as a journal entry comment. Any non-applications that are posted as a journal entry comment will be DELETED.

WARNINGS:
!!!DO NOT APPLY BEFORE THE 21ST OF EACH MONTH!!!
Posting EARLIER than 21st of each month will:
1) DISQUALIFY you for that RECRUITMENT-MONTH.
Example: Application for JUNE 2007, you posted JUNE-APPLICATION on MAY 20 instead of 21st to 31st, this will disqualify you for JUNE 2007 RECRUITMENT.
2) DISQUALIFY you from applying for the next 2 months.
Example: Posting an application on the May 21st journal entry (this is the June 2007 Recruitment), on June 1st, June-application is completely OVER, yet you posted an application! We will automatically consider this as an early application for "July 2007 recruitment". You wont be allowed to re-apply unless its for August 2007 recruitment (July 21st Journal Entry).
Repeated violations will add your disqualified-months.
!!!DO NOT EDIT YOUR APPLICATIONS AFTER THE APPLICATION PERIOD!!!
We're not strict with applicants editing their comments during application period, but after the application period (1st of the month and onwards) we no longer allow this. If we catch you (EVEN if you're already accepted into Utopia) your application will be VOID and you will need to re-apply next month.
Disqualified for AUG Applications:
Pandora Pocky(5178077) - posting before application period (posted Aug 2, 2007)
Dranzer_shadow_wanderer(2401540) - posting before application period (posted Aug 14, 2007)
