Hello friends!

I am currently looking for anyone who is interested in being a clan leader of their own clan. Whether you've already established a clan, or are thinking about it, I would be interested to hear from you. MechScape World is currently forming our clan policy and would like feedback from future clan leaders.

MechScape clan leaders and individuals who intend to begin a clan are asked to submit their details to join a dedicated discussion group. In this group you'll be able to offer us ideas, create your recruitment topic and get great advice before the battles begin.

If you are interested, please PM me a short paragraph on your hopes and goals for your MechScape clan, along with a URL if you have one.

EDIT: Please note, MechScape World has no intention of having an official clan, or our own official clan. Instead, our aim is to support all clans in a fair and consistent manner.

Does this mean clan leaders will have access to a private part of the forum or what?

Just to discuss a clan policy.

Yes.

Now that's something that'll make people put their hands up

its a great place really.

Hopefully in a honest manner.

Agreed = p

Clans? As in in Runescape?

I never fancied clans too much anyway, and I'm retired from Runescape . Good luck to all.

No, we're talking about MechScape clans.

Yeah its for those people who are looking to become Mechscape Clan Leaders, Not Runescape, NOT RUNESCAPE!!!

... relax...

I'd say I would but I really don't know if I'm even going to like Mechscape or if it will even be necessary to make a clan.

Calm the hell down

I might apply, going to think about it.

hehe, just felt like helping those that didnt understand =]

Oh, okay. Chill, though

Um, I tried making a clan twice and nobody posted xD . I'm not interested, sorry

Good luck to everybody!

Thanks

Just because you have the intention of making a clan in MS doesn't mean that you're obliged too after posting on this thread.

I'm currently considering making a clan, but that will depend on the game play really

i'm yet to make a forum as i have no idea what mechscape will involve so i wouldnt have much detail to put into it for the time being

I am planning to make a clan with friends but will not sign up to anything until I know how the game works :)

EDIT: Or even if the game is worth playing :P (Fingers crossed)

EDIT 2: LOL at the guy who isn't interested because no ones posting on her thread. MS hasn't begun, no wonder people aren't joining clans already...

Dude, it's a girl.

TBH I'm not gonna make a clan, because it takes just to much work to keep it going(RS/CS experience), and I don't know how the game is going to be..
Maybe I'll join one if I like the game

I think I'm gunna make a clan.

From the genuinely fun times I had in clans in RS I must say the thought has crossed my mind, but tbh:


Sums it up for me pretty much.

That's why I said "she" :) Guy is a generic term (although generally used for males) so yeah... :P

I wouldnt say that, Terra has 14 members, 12 are active full members, the other 2 are clan friends.

I happen to really enjoy good clans. I've been in several very good clans in RS and some not so good ones. If mechscape turns out to be very team-oriented like WoW then I will absolutely be interested in setting up a clan.

Pmed

im too lazy to be a clan leader :P

I would say that because of this point: Although she is forming a clan, people do not know what to expect. Some people will level fast, others won't. Either you kick the people who don't (losing you members who are "loyal" because they joined before MS came out) or you have a poor clan that is unable to work together or do events together because their difference in level is too great. Also, she, as everyone else, will have no experience with the game at all. How can you lead a clan in a game you don't understand right from square one?

Unless you have 14 members of Zezima's who are willing to power train their life away, chances are your clan won't last long. Of course if it does, congratulations, but as I said earlier, I'd rather start a clan when I understand the game well enough to lead and have high enough levels to actually contribute.

Oh i see, i understand what your saying, annd i kinda agree, but getting a jumpstart is always good (sometimes).

I guess so :) Up to the leader really :P

Why the hell need think about clans before game is relised? o.O
+It will be hard to make clans, cause there will be Pliigi and human player npcs....not how in RS-only one race....

People are starting to think about clans and some people are trying to set up clans. MSW wants to fairly and effectively set up rules and guidelines that would keep clans and MSW happy at the same time. MSW doesn't want to play favorites so we ask those clan leaders that are interested so we can get many viewpoints and more ideas circulating.

How do you know that races will not be able to interact with each other? Even if there are two opposing factions, amongst each one there is most likely multiple races. If you were human and could only join human clans and do stuff with them, the game would seem rather limited unless they added tones of content for each individual race.

Of course, some clans would be Human-only or Pliigi-only.

Considering each race will most likely have different abilities and skills (otherwise the whole "race" thing would just be for looks) I doubt any clan would be so selective. If they did have different abilities, only allowing a certain race to join would be foolish as the mixed race clans would be able use multiple racial abilities and specialities to dominate their enemy.

I believe at present there will be more than two races so it's not going to be as bland as "Humans and Pliigi".

I agree, and there are going to be 4 races :)

I agree 2. I want to make my own clan any1 wanna join contact my mechscape world account bostonbeast5.

That may very well be true if you're going to focus solely on combat and have beating the life out of other players being the only thing keeping you together. If you're all friends and you have a good community then you're not going to care very much about not comprehending the full scope of the game at the beginning, level or skill gaps, etc.. I've seen clans created for a game (Darkfall, specifically) four years before the game was even released and they're holding together pretty dang well.

I agree with you Skan. Ultimately it has to do with how strong the community is. IF the clan can manage to foster a culture of friendliness, cooperation, mutual respect, reasonable activity and understanding, as well as a culture of enablement (the ability for individual members to contribute as much as they can to the cause), then a clan will succeed.

Yes, that is essentially true. It'll be interesting to see how skilling clans work in a game which apparently don't have skills like we know them to be.

Let's hope they form a great community then :) I definately agree that the Clan must have a strong culture of community, I think that's something every clan must have to become successful. Levels alone don't actually make you better unless you combine it with community.

How's Terra going?

Very well explained

Terra's doing very well. It's far surpassed its recruitment goals, with 22 Registered, 15 of which are actual members who are all very active, 3 are allies, 3 are Terran Applicants (People who have registered but must post an application to either beinga Friend/Ally or a Citizen (Member), and 1 Friend.

We have decided to reorganize ourselves into Regional Divisions that can better service people in their respective Timezones for when the game comes out. Currently there is a North American Division (NAD/NA Division), a European Division (EUD/EuroDiv), and an Australian/Oceania Division (AusDiv/OceDiv).

While we currently don't have any europeans in the clan, we have 14 North Americans and 1 Australian. Divisions are headed up by a Division Leader and an Events Coordinator. Basically each Division exists as a clan within a clan, and the Divisions are ultimately subject to the authority of the Federal Leadership (Tribunal, War Marshal and Supreme Court). People in say, the NA Division are not restricted from attending events held by the Euro Division or the Aus/Oce division. This means in english that if your from North America, you may attend a European Event, or an Australian/Oceania Event if possible. And Vice versa in regards to the other Divisions intermingling.

I am one of those members =]

I would like to join. However, I think it would be best for me not to commit to a clan before I have any sort of idea how the game will works. Perhaps a period of time after it has been launched.

Exactly how I feel - Terra looks a good choice, well organised and likey the first "proper" MS clan, but I can't commit before the game.

Is this forum going to be up any time soon? Is it worth putting the forum up with the small amount of clans that have established themselves? or should we wait till more have shown up?

Hm well, there is in fact a Noctem Liaison as its called, for wouldbe clan leaders and existing clan leaders for mechscape. Just request permission via pm to Poultry Champ for access, its not entirely used though, there's a few topics in there, mostly by me.

Wow thanks Hope to see some of you in the future.

<-- From ShuffleStorm
<-- From Xela

Yeah and to answer Xela and Shufflestorm, more specifically to Xela, thankyou for for compliment.

Terra, or its full name Terran Federation, does work extremely hard to maintain our developing reputation as an Outstandingly Organized Pregame clan. We have a system of Ethics/virtues/rules/values whatever you want to call them. Ultimately we value Quality over Quantity. Sure some might deem this Mantra as pure stupidity since the game isn't even out yet and it may seem foolish to be so picky as such, but we think otherwise. But ultimately the reality of our situation is, we are in fact far ahead of schedule for our pregame recruitment quota, and we also have a lively active community of active clan members.

We value Maturity, Honesty, Respect, Loyalty and a strong desire to get things done, work hard and succeed and ultimately the undying will to achieve Victory.

So if anybody has those personal attributes, (and also currently intend to be a Pliigi or a Human), you are welcome to join. At the moment as mentioned in parentheses, we do require our people to eventually be either Pliigi or Human, however that isn't our final decision and the door to allowing other races is open as more information comes out,

I might try and make or join a clan, the first clan I joined in RS I became a wilderness leader, it worked for a while till the clan disbanded. But like everyone else, im gonna wait till Mechscape starts Before i make any final decisions.
