My my,
this isnt supposed to be a controversy.
The way I see it is this:
In Alsius there was a couple people who decided that the clans there weren't for them, that the obligations were to boring and needed a change. WLS was started. the more and more people of WLS used mumble and IRC with people from other realms, they saw how the principals worked and wanted something like that in their own realms. So the Ignis and Syrtis WLS came to be.
Now if the Ignis and Syrtis clans were named something other then WLS, It really wouldn't matter, they would still be our friends, we would still fight them, and they too would have the same principals.
But like Kaels said, it gives us a chance to use an IRC server and a mumble server under the same name, plus it sticks to you after awhile

.
For one, I find the game much more fun when I have someone yelling in my ear for hunting them down ^^
As much as people hate multi-realms, multi-realming, talking to people in other realms; Its okay, If done right, and not abused. Spying, Abusing people, and all that. I for one do multi-realm. I came to horus and started in Syrtis after along break I came back to RO and moved to Alsius. I still use that other account in Syrtis, To go and check on people make sure they are doing well, and I'm usually there for maybe 5 mins, Some times I even go to grads. I also grind characters in each realm, when the bored'm hits me and war no longer does it, To me, its better then quitting entirely. Maybe if I got those characters high enough, I could use them to war against other WLS members, which, would be fun. Sure they are my friends
BUT ITS A BLOODY GAME, and we would laugh about it during/after.
Also, Throwing Hathor out there Isn't to nice, and undeserved in a topic about a clan that he isn't in.
In WLS we have a saying:
Remember, Its just a game.
