English player consolidation on RA - Page 6

Ohhhhh...no no...come on for me...

<Drumroll />

Order of the Zerg...

Giving that its going to be by far the largest clan....that's just damn funny. I love humor in clan names...

Valorius · 08-18-2008, 09:17 PM

Our actual numbers aren't going to increase that much, we're really just taking their active players and their top end players and merging them into our own ranks. All of the former IF players will be under the direct command of Albereth, and all the Daggers remain under my command, at least until we're all used to one another.

We may gain maybe 20-25 players out of it, but most of them are high lvl, and all of those are active players. But yes, our overall "combat power" will now be on par with pretty much any clan in Syrtis RA from tuesday onward.

We pride ourselves on our clans "elite" status, so using a name like "The order of Zerg" would not fit us at all. To use a Starcraft name, "The Order of Protoss" would be much more fitting.

We have also tossed out the idea of "The Order of Daggerfist" as well. Or maybe just "The Order".

I have also thought about going in an all new direction with the name.

That's alot of players still if active. Alsius Hunters have 8...

Oh i agree that we will be much, much stronger now. The improved communications and intelligence nets alone will transform our ability to react to and counter enemy activities in the WZ.

Each active player in the WZ is a set of eyes and ears that gives us overall insight into "what's going on out there".

I dont know but i have one thing to say, My clans- all 4 of them will remain active

In Ignis, I've noticed alot of solo english players now that some clans have left forever to Horus. I was planning on converting an unused clan (Hey I get to save 2mil) to an 'Open' clan. It will have the sole purpose of adding people daily for hunts or wars. When the person is done they can leave or return back to their orignial clan. Like it was mentioned earlier, it would replace realm chat, avoid the limited size of parties, and the mess of having 8 PMs going at once. I was thinking of giving it a generic name like '24hr. Hunting Party' or 'War for English players'

My hunter has a solo clan already. It seems it could fit for that idea. So no need to save the money! (I knew it would be useful someday, and just for 200.000 gold!

)

Feel free to contact me to go hunting or talk about it.

I am going to leave the forums in general, but since this is my thread and the process is still ongoing, i will continue to post/respond in this thread.

The merger with Ironfist is completed, and has been a smashing success.

A merger with the Kings of Syrtis clan has also been accomplished, and their members have taken to our ways of doing things with great enthusiasm.

We are now all combined into the Order of Daggerfist.

Our ranks are based on those of a classical fiefdom type monarchy.

King/Queen
General
Prince/Princess
Champion
Royal Guard
Centurion
Shield Bearer
Militia

Overall we have about 300% or more actual 'combat power' than before, and our organization and team work has already improved dramatically. Large clan hunts/actions are now common daily occurances.

As a result, IMO syrtis is significantly stronger than it was previous to the merger.

I am in continuing discussions with several high lvl players and a few other clans for possible future merger activities.

Long live Syrtis.

Since the merge I saw several Daggerfists running away with SotW/sanc/etc. from forts, leaving their realmmates to die. I also heard complains about them camping gates. Could you please do something about this?

Valorious is one of those players we all love to hate, in-game and in the forums.

I mean, ffs he pisses me off at times.

But if he withdrew from the game or the forums i believe all those who say they hate him will lose something.

If he goes he will leave a hole, which no one better can fill.

He stirs anger and poses a challenge, and this can make the game (and the forum) a more interesting place.

I'm not trying to start a fan club here, but merely advising caution when you try to wish people away.

Now on topic, so as not to have this post deleted

On the consolodation of english speaking clans on Ra my opinion is thus:

I can see the merit in merging clans so as to better organise fights and so on.

However, i think alternatives are an important thing in any aspect of life (or game-life.)

Therefore, i believe some of the existing English speaking clans in Ra should resist the temptation to merge into one super-clan, in order to keep alive some variety in the english speaking community.

Let's say there was only one super-clan in any given realm. And some people didn't feel they belonged there. What would be their alternative? They would most likely turn to Horus. In this way, consolodating all the english speakers into one clan can lead to not to consolodation but to exodus.

Variety and alternatives are important.

So i say keep several english speaking clans active in each realm, because this is more likely to keep the english speaking community active in Ra.

Also, english speaking players just starting the game and wondering which server to use will be less likely to chose Ra with one huge english clan in each realm, when there are numerous allternatives in horus.

Let's give them alternatives in Ra also!!...
