Nodiatis NEEDS Clans or Guilds *Please Jeff?*

Im guessing the thread title says it all. I just want to add to this in requesting a few perks that would be in this idea:

Clan Vault *Items can be donated, loaned, and removed at the leaders approval*
Clan Staff *Certain players whom the leader trusts are given priveladges to help*
Clan Wars *Tournaments, or even town wars that give the clans payouts or taxes*
Clan Tax *** Will explain further below ***
Clan Research *** Explained with Clan Tax ***
Clan Forum *Make it where they can communicate amongst themselves in a popup like the skills page*

This just seems like a better idea to focus on as it would be a GREAT addition to Nodiatis.

And to make it marketable (i.e. get Jeffs attention) make it so that only those with standard or premium can either create or be apart of. And if anyone who goes back to free are in a clan, they become a 'neutral' member that cannot receive items from the vault or other benefits, so they can rejoin without having to go through finding a clan and rejoining when they donate again. Also, to create a clan you could make it a special item you need to buy, maybe even a cheap item to be able to join one.

*** CLAN TAX & RESEARCH EXPLAINATION ***

This is simple, the tax would be voted on by all members so that it wouldnt be abused and later cause problems. This tax would be on gold and exp. Gold goes to the vault for use later. Exp however is collected into a pool where the leader decides which clan lvl to put it in.

Good tech ideas I think I have:

Clan Size *1 lvl per 1 member (maybe more, maybe less)*
Clan Vault Interest *1 lvl per .1% interest gained each week*
Clan Armory *1 lvl per 1 slot (same as clan size more or less)*
Clan Looting *1 lvl per .1% chance to find extra loot when grouped with a fellow member*

Of course their would be maximums on techs so as not to let any clan get too large or too far ahead of the rest.


All in all though I think this would be the best thing to happen to Nodiatis since, well, as we in america put it, sliced bread. This would promote a wide range of things such as teamwork (as current hostilities need something to lower it), progress of an already great game, and an extra element (or new way to play the game). If anyone agrees or disagrees please post your response. If anyone feels this can be improved, then please post your thoughts.

Thanks for listening to my ramblings.

As a few people have pointed out, the clan/guild thing is on the to do list. This is however not a request of something that is already in the works. This is a discussion as to what can be added for the clan/guilds when it is put in the game.

If you think of it, if guilds were here and didnt have some things they would be requested individually. Instead, I choose to suggest interesting add-ons to a previously mentioned request and ultimately saving space on the forum by collecting these ideas into 1 thread.

Sounds like a good idea. Would also be cool to have klan wars without the possibility of PK status.

Sweet, another standard-/premium-only feature. "He's at it again."

Believe me, if the most important feature of every RPG was available to those with payable accounts only, the freebies would surely be furious. Those who wouldn't give up on the game, would probably start chasing the paying players and create some kind of unofficial PK guilds.

Then again, it may not be such a bad idea... that would encourage the freebies to create clans on their own (such as in Diablo, where there were no such things as guilds/clans, officially). Let's just wait and see...

I say we have a one week kill-fest.

Only punish freebies.

i hope freebs get pissed and start coming after me to pk... oh noes not a lvl 18 freeb... o wait freebs cant outlvl a paying account... o wait freebs cant pk anyways i guess they'll have to pay to play... o wait they can now do everything paid players can...

[Valiumandritalin]

I wouldn't mind them being able to PK though : D

...and this is why you earned a permanent spot on My in-game ignore list.

In my opinion, freebs should hve no part in pvp at all. **** them.

I think I see another addition to My iggy list coming on. I hate elitist jerks.

o noes some guy i never heard of before last week ignored me in game, whatever shall i do! woe is me. its arrogant ****s like u that make me say the **** i do in the way i do... do u think i give a flying **** that u ignored me? o me o my i wont be able to receive the 5gold u spend on 1month of standard because u cant commit 20$ to an online game let alone a real life...

on a separate not i do totally agree with spartan, if freebs cant be looted and cant pk, then theres no reason they should be able to be pked of pkk. if freebs want to pvp let them duel each other outiside of castille

You have no idea of My real life. I have the cash to spare for online games, but whether I choose to spend it in that fashion depends upon My opinion of the game in general, it's players, and the administration. It is people like you that make Me hesitant to put My money into them. I have also put plenty into real life, thank you. Eight years of military service and a career in medicine, if you have to know. What have YOU done for the world today?

Do you even know my char names? I doubt you do.

Ok you guys, lets stay on topic ok? The PK discussion on where or who can be PKd or PKKd should be discussed elsewhere. Also, the argument about whos 'iggied' and whos a jerk for doing so should take place ingame. I appreciate the feedback thus far, and wish to see this idea happen (lol I.E. soon)

Anyways hope you guys understand (arguments and foul language cant be helping this idea all too much so please take it elsewhere)

i'm a 5 star general as well as a cowboy astronaut rock star who also works a side job as a brain surgeon 4 nights a week... if u want i can swap your brain for a chimps... i havent been able to drive u off yet so i must not be doing a good job of being a guy like that to make u hesitate to donate money into a game u "enjoy" playing

Oh Style....

Stop it....

Your making me blush....

Agreed, quarrels won't get us anywhere. I seem to be the one to have started it, so sorry for that. (And I must say I didn't give the "freebies' unofficial PK guilds" idea much thought; even I'm surprised I said that.)

No matter what the clan/guild idea will look like in the end, I guess it'll be a good thing for the community. As my friend said, why should I care about that? When he asked me what are the good points of clans, I couldn't answer really (could point out some minor features).

By the way, Style, you're close to reaching the mastery of insulting without using excessive language, lol. Not that it's a bad thing.

I like the ideas posted above about clan skills. Not so sure about the tax on gold/exp... Definitely not in favor of making clans only available to paid players. In order to prevent circumvention of trade restrictions, frees would not be able to access the "clan vault", either by putting into it or taking out of it.

Also, perhaps another skill could be added... Clan Loyalty. Works similarly to the Looting skill, but for experience gains. Each level in this skill adds .25% to combat experience gains when grouped with one member of your clan, and if grouped with two, .5% extra experience.

Yes I would totally just get my alts into the same clan and play all three simultaneously. But I'd love it.

This would be nice. The whole tax thing (depends from how it'd be like) could be a little discouraging. So, some valuable skills or other features could be added.
