official clan incentive?
i'm seeing lots of officials clans that are nearly dead, and lots have been caught out in the new activity checks.

i notice that lots of new clans are extremely active, then they reach official, stay active for a month or two than the clan slowly starts disbanding and getting less active

i believe this is because the clan has achieved their goal, and they don't really have anything to work towards after they've reached officialness

i understand that clans are meant for a group of people to be able to communicate, but i don't really think this alone is a good enough incentive to keep clans active ec.

what are you thoughts? do you think there should be a change in the clan system?

It couldddd rise... ...more people would join already official clans. :P The system just could be better.

It's actually way harder to get an official status these days then it was, for example, in 2009 or 2010. I remember Gangsters getting an official status when our DSC was even less than 1 month old, pretty much same with some other official clans that still exist. Making it harder to achieve official status won't result in people joining official clans because most of them are almost impossible to join unless you're invited, so we'll end up with people creating unofficial clans that'll be dying out before becoming official.
I see what you are saying. What if there was competition? Say top 20 active clans remain official (or something along those lines). It would allow a filter to keep clans active and it would encourage clans to keep active. People would hate it and love it more. This would bring meaning :|

This idea would exclude clans which do not war, or aren't that active at a certain time.

Yes. I was making a suggestion. Rewards aren't going to keep a clan active. The official thing was just an example! :O I was thinking things like a board or something.

Differently classed clans. :|

Maybe even make new clan ranks depending of age and activity of the clan. Sort-of un-official would be (xxxx), Official [xxxx], maybe something like premium or legendary {xxxx}. This might keep clans aiming for something more. Of course reaching that last rank wouldn't be easy at all. Maybe even change the color of the clan tag depending of rank. For example a legendary clan would have an in-game golden tag. Making more clan events that are competitive in-game would also help.

If GMs made regular clan events, maybe the ranks could be based from that.

In General I just think more clan events are needed, Prizes may not be enough to motivate people but pride might?
I like that idea! Also needs color changes on the forums. 0-0

I think tibeing legendary would mean you can participate in other events, etc. Maybe new ofc rooms to be in for "legendary only." Etccccc

I like the Color idea. It would be a cool thing to have. Maybe after a certain number of wars after official you could unlock the {xxxx}. A clan achievment system. Anyways, I support it.
I'm just gamin' man
A clan achievement system would be more encouraging for the clan to keep on going. The thing is, it would have to give prizes, not only an achievement which doesn't give much pride at all.
Also, these "{ }" don't look as clean as this "[ ]". Still there could be a juggling in this system to keep things fun for clans.
One more thing: Regular clan events would fuel the want for more pride and prizes to keep official clans more active than before.
