Bringing together Alsius

Here is my two cents:

For OP about clan leadership meetings, I attempted to set this up a while ago when TrueWar was bitching about people not following him. The idea was to meet at Hopstad with mostly clan leaders and experienced players to talk out some things and then kill dragon and execute tactics as discussed. Most the leadership from all the clans met at hopstad, but skipped the meeting and killed dragon instead. Nothing was resolved.

I have also tried to talk people into coming to war either for defense or offensive manuevers using multiple methods: dictator, ego challenges, ego lifting, asking nicely, etc... Not a whole lot works when people are not satisfied with how the current situation is. I think the best response I got is when I told the realm that Alasthor had spawned in Herb. I agree with Edge on the current status of the requirement for communication and game mechanics not helping this at all.

Communication would be further hampered by creating an elder exclusive clan because once you are in the elder clan you are no longer in the same clique of your former clan. In addition to this clans have different goals and agendas as you have stated @ the OP. At current state a clan full of experienced players is just a clan full of experienced players, with no sway over any other particular clan.

Don't get me wrong, things go great when people finally get off there high horse and listen, but communication at a macro level will not fix the communication issues at the micro level.
