clan shuffle

... sit down, kick back and relax, and talk about anything that doesn't belong on one of the other forums.

If we regulated the number of clans a player could join I could only imagine the monumental task that would create for the imms, so on that note I’d say this ship has sailed since 1997.

I sometimes wonder if I would still play WotMUD if Sal Cav would have accepted my transfer. I wonder if the few that blocked me are even active. It would be neat to be in an active/northern clan.

I think the point I'm making is that once/twice a year, there should be an opportunity to switch clans if the clan you want to switch to agrees.

I think you'll find a lot of backlash against that. It only has ever work in certain "special" cases with definite immortal hand holding.

Jabber mail?? I made no reference to this?


I think curtailing peoples abilities to be a participating member of any clan that deems them worthy is pretty absurd. Many have dedicated thousands of hours of their time across many clans without using it for personal gain. Feel like this is another solution to a non-existent problem.
I get it no one likes to even think about taking stuff away from people. It's always a add to this game. People get crazy when you start talking about limiting this or that but the truth is as the jabber mail going out as I was trying to say that's not a one-off situation. I wasn't saying you brought it up it simply is not a one-off situation. I'm not trying to take a dig against that guy I barely know him but it really is a testament to just how out of touch you can become with the game in the pursuit of doing everything.

Hmm...if a person could switch clans....

One idea: reaching a master allows you to keep your master bonus on that character. But if you switch clans you go back to rank 1 with master flag. Why should someone become weaker in combat just because they changed allegiances?

But I see how getting rank 7 in one clan is easier than others. A gleeman master got master in totally different ways. Just as a lancer master got it mostly from pk.

Overall we are just trying to cure the lowered player base by predicting itll continue to be lower. I'm personally only in no more than two clans. I honestly like it because I can focus on one main one (tear) and make it dedicated. I don't have time to play 5 clans or have 44 alts. But having 1 I take satisfaction that as one player I potentially can help shape the movement of an entire clan and hopefully make all the work of the guys who played this clan from 20 years ago proud.

To think it only takes 2 to 3 people to make a clan not dead anymore...

Could get a nice perk for retiring a rank 7 character that spills into an "heir" character. Like warded regular weapon that you can issue for no cost (changeable once a year).

Also could promote some characters to something like a "light side general".. since LS has become smaller. Maybe they could get some diplomacy perks that are oriented around helping LS be more lively.
