Hi guys hope you dont mind this being posted here but I realy need your help.
It's more of an advice thing than anything else.

ok here goes.

As you know (I have formed with a close friend of mine)a guild for Dragon Empires blah blah so on and so on....

Anyway what I wanted to ask you all is this, and please tell me if you feel this is being petty or just sad :p

There is a Fan site called Moonshades now they were originaly a portal site for information about the game etc etc.
No harm in that in fact it was an excellent site full of top notch info.
Now not so long ago they decided to also form a clan called Shades Of The Moon no harm in that either untill they used there portal site to boost there clan.

How did they do this I hear you ask, well when they first got going it sort of figured they would get privaldges on the DE forum like mod rights and special sig names etc.

However no one else apart from stratics are allowed to have this, I have asked for our clan to have this privaldge but was turned down flat.
Nothing to do with the fact that we are new because we are not a new clan in fact for DE we were probably the 2nd or 3rd to be formed but under the name of KoJ.

Anyway my point is, is it right that a fan site now using it's privaldges to promote its clan should be allowed speacial treatment such as sigs and mod rights?
To a newcomer it looks like Shades Of The Moon or Moonshades (same thing) are endorsed by DE.

here is DE's forums tell me if im being stupid or I have a case to complain.

Many Thanks

p.s
Vortal if you read this i sent peter all the info you stated such as clans original name size etc but was simply told that he didnt wish to do this for anymore clans.

prob isnt fair cos im shure most of these clan site that appear for games that are at least a year away are only run by peeps to try and get into beta :).I.e get loads of peeps into a clan dev's look at these sites and let main peeps into beta,have you noticed once a game comes out the site links you to fan sites that have mostly folded cos they got wot they want and thats into the game

T**ts the lot of ya :p

Actuly mos that isnt true anyone who applies for the beta now will almost certainly get in, clan affiliation or not.
Clans mainly form before the game because there very interested in what is planed long before beta, and want to join like minded people.

the point is fairness so if you can spare some time to have a look please let me know if im right or wrong.

Thanks

Didnt say you were doing it cos of that dark just a lot of peeps do why i dont think there sites exsist after game comes out,they try and get loads of peeps in clan they dont know or even played with dont know or care wot wankers they get just numbers.I dont mind joining a clan with peeps i know and have played with or even know someone i know,im just suspicious of peeps who just try to get vast numbers through unfair links etc.Most peeps who run clans do it for there friends and other peeps etc,others try to get huge clans (regardless of whos in it) either for there own ego or other motives.Better to have less people join your clan before game starts knowing there be there at game start and site still worth running,rather than have a dubious link getting loads of peeps who have joined 3 other clans



P.s wile we all may get in beta which phase

ah that makes sense to me now :)
I agree I know everyone in the clan and we have even turned away a few simply for the fact they were wankahs and would cause problems later.
I agree SotM will probably last a couple of months after the game as the guy runing it is a fecking nob to say the least.
Arrogant is his middle name :grin:

Looks like the Com manager etc is finding his feet and making a few mistakes - it happens. DE is pretty much a new mob learning the MMOG ropes so....

hehe if marks wants to join he would be more than welcome after all we need someone to keep fung on his toes :)

The com manager however doesn't seem to think he has made a mistake, he thinks they have the right as they were the first fan site around.
Fair enough but they were not the first clan, there estimated size atm is around 2000 members putting them way ahead of anyone else.
To a newbie it would look like SotM were a DE endorsed clan, did to me anyway when i first looked.

Well I "looked"... ermm I can't see where the problem is TBH luv, Eve made a page, Eve made a clan ...lets be right, if we wanted every idiot on Gods earth to join CUK we could spam it like hell too. However , as someone pointed out, they get 80% of folks who only want to be in the beta , and 90% of THOSE I wouldn't piss on if they were on fire.
If there is a SPECIFIC thread that offends you, will ya post a link to it?
TBH it's all very strange anyway , setting up an "official/semi-official" guild/clan for a game that doesn't even exist ATM, and isn't even in Beta!

Clan UK folks who play this game once it is gold, will either ... want to play with clanuk folks, or with "new" friends, or like certain folks, will want to play with clanuk until they get "too good for j00 lot" and THEN go play with new friends.If everyone was insular and pre arranged, this would give no lattitude to parties, groups etc.

I think the "fact" that she/he has 2k members says it all TBH.
Who CARES (honestly) how many people are in a different clan/guild? and WHY do you care IF you do?

From what i see
U are pointing the finger
Not at the
Guild, but
U are refering to
Several individuals??

Dunno just seems that everytime a new game comes out, we all jump in, then after a bit someone jumps out to do something that noone else wants to do... Look at D2, Snr went Hc as soon as he could, noone else wanted to play HC, the game was too new, so he HAD to either change his way of playing, OR change the people he played with, well he went off.

Also on DAoC I remember the "you CANNOT have a Clanuk on europe cos we all play here" thread that SUDDENLY turned into "I know YOU lot all play here but I'm pissin off somewhere else even if YOU LOT don't like it"
I believe that both those statements came from the same person:p
