Update: Clan System !

[NicoX]

The Graal Kingdoms staff has a new feature to present to you: Clans! With global guilds disabled, they are designed to cater to smaller, tight-knit groups. Being in different kingdoms doesn't mean your group of friends has to stay separated—create a clan and wear your tag with pride!

So, how does it work?

Clans cost 120 nihils to create and start out with 5 slots of members. Joining a clan doesn’t cost anything, and you do not need to leave your kingdom to do so, but players can only be a member of one clan at a time.

When you open up the control panel, you’ll see three buttons at the top of the interface. Clicking “Back” returns you to the last place you clicked within the control panel, “?” brings up a help box with information on the different commands, and “X” closes out the window.

There are also four tabs on the left. Clicking these lets you browse the different commands for the clan system:

View Clan



This tab lets you see your clan’s message, its current members, and their ranks.



When you are not in a clan, it displays info on joining a clan or creating your own.


Clan CP



This tab has all the command options for clan members. The commands you have access to depend on your rank in the clan:

Rank 1: All rights
Rank 2: Turn Tag On, Change Clan Message, Recruit New Player, Edit Members, Edit Ranks
Rank 3: Turn Tag On, Change Clan Message, Recruit New Player
Rank 4: Turn Tag On

Edit Members
Shows you all of the members of the clan and gives you the option to remove them.

Change Clan Message
Allows you to change the clan message that is displayed on the “View Clan” screen. There is no character limit.

Edit Ranks
Allows you to change the ranks of clan members. The darkened number is the member’s current rank. To change a member’s rank, just click on one of the lighter numbers. See above for what rights each rank has access to.

Transfer Leadership
Lets you pass Rank 1 to another member of the clan. Only one member of the clan can hold Rank 1 at a time. To pass the rank, just select a member from the list.

Clan Shop
Here you can purchase several different features for your Clan.

Disband Clan
Disbands your Clan with no refund of Nihil Coins.

Recruit New Player
Displays a list of all online players. To invite one to your clan, just click the button next to their name. A message will pop up on their screen with the option to accept or reject your invitation. Players can only be a member of one clan at a time.

Leave Clan
Click to leave your clan. Clan leaders must pass Rank 1 to another member before they can leave the clan.

Turn Tag On
Click to toggle your clan tag on and off. You can also turn your tag on by typing "/clantag".


Search Clans
Here you can look up other clans by typing a clan name into the search box.



From there, you can click on the clan to view its current members and other stats.




Form Clan



From this tab, you can create a new clan. Creating a new clan costs 120 nihils and requires that you not be a member of any other clan.

Any updates to the system will be noted here!



Thanks to:

Great work - big thanks to Nico and Alpho for quarterbacking this from concept to creation!

[Spiker]

Any news on bmode for clans as well as allies and such?

[shrimps]

Clans are not affecting Battle mode in any way. This is all kingdom related.

Yes this all will come in the future But first we need to update the Kingdom RP System a bit more with better rewards!

[shrimps]

Alright, don't forget to add me to Steele Clan to whomever creates it, thanks.

Wowow you're a Rogue Jr? Who was the first?

This looks great! Alpho did an amazing job, and in what feels like a fairly short amount of time. I probably won't join a clan since I'm barely active enough for just a kingdom, but still a cool addition to the game.

I heard Mirar wrote this guide on how to use it too! Nice work, miss Now stop writing clan stuff and go work on Zormite lol.

[Stowen]

Nice work, it looks great guys! Keep the content flowing!

Question: in the past when manipulating guild tags via scripts this also seemed to impact the Global Guild system primarily in the activity section, so now that Global Guilds are disabled:

1) Is it legal to recreate global guilds as clans.

2) Does this still effect global guild activity. (ex: a global guild with 10 players but 20 players on a server wear the tag causing 200% activity).

Sorry it's hard to keep track with the global guilds as the website is always out-dated.

hello!

global guild activity hasnt been updated since september 2012 so its not really an issue. its fair to say it will never be fixed because graals future plans only factor in mobile and facebook servers, and the current ones do not use global guilds

i have asked the same question to a senior pwa in the past whether it would be ok to recreate global guilds in a local guild system, and was told there was no such rule one way or the other.

in my opinion there should at least be some checks to ensure that anyone trying to create a global guild locally is in one of the top two ranks, i accomplish this like so:

PHP Code:

function checkIfGlobalGuildExists(temp.g) {
  sendText("lister", "checkguildexists", temp.g);
  
  if (waitfor(this, "ReceiveText", 15))
    return
      (
        params[1] == "guildexists" &&
        params[2][0] == temp.g
      )
      ?
       params[2][1]
     :
       false
    ;
  
  return false;
}

function checkLeadsGlobalGuild(temp.a, temp.g) {
  sendtext("lister", "checkinguild", {temp.a, temp.g});
  if (waitfor(this, "ReceiveText", 15))
    return
      (
        params[1] == "inguild" &&
        params[2][0] == temp.a &&
        params[2][1] == temp.g
      )
      ?
        params[2][3] >= 10
      :
        false
    ;
  
  return false;
}

It's sad so many servers don't use the global system. Consistency is pretty nice. I am a (Storm) at heart. In my previous years on my very first account I was and still am a (Canavi). Things kinda get messed up when your 1 guild on 1 server but they wont add you on another when your the original founder.... it makes you feel like your not playing Graal but a totally different game, which I guess is fine but its all mashed into 1 client rather than separate ones.

There really is no rule on guild creation? I could have sworn back in the 2.x client days there was. Kinda a shocker to me actually. Either way I'm not paying 120 NC to be a (Storm) when I already paid over $40 for VIP when I created it 11 years ago Globally.. in 2003.

You can still use global guilds, I'm pretty sure, but it's not likely that they'll get to use the aforementioned 'Clan Shop' when it actually happens.
