Right now, the clan system has many issues, such as: - the vulnerability of the manager system - the inability to engage in "clan war" that doesn't involve just hijacking and destroying someone else's clan - the inability to have recruiters who don't have absolute control over the clan as managers There's an old uservoice that brings these up (and more issues) that could use your support: https://warlight.uservoice.com/forums/77051-warlight-features/suggestions/7085564-overhall-of-clan-systemHowever, since it's too broad (imho) and asks for a lot of things instead of just one, I've created two more specific uservoices for two things that I think are relatively simple to implement (not knowing the existing codebase of the WL system) that I also think would be more interesting or helpful to a greater number of players: Clan Warfare: https://warlight.uservoice.com/forums/77051-warlight-features/suggestions/7955619-create-a-clan-warfare-systemImprovement of the Clan Manager System: https://warlight.uservoice.com/forums/77051-warlight-features/suggestions/7955508-add-a-hierarchical-clan-management-systemI would appreciate votes on these uservoices as well as discussion of the merits of these improvements in this thread.

the inability to engage in "clan war" that doesn't involve just hijacking and destroying someone else's clan Simple, join clan league. Whoever does better wins the war Edit: I do agree with you on the management system, though. It would be great if a few weaknesses are shored up; for example, if the clan's only manager goes inactive then the clan goes extinct eventually. But as we've seen from past hijacking attempts, offering manager rights can backfire.

That isn't enough for some people, because they didn't take anything away from the other clan. But hijacking a clan and taking control away from the leader is not a suitable means of inter-clan warfare.

I like Clan League and I've been trying to build a strategic culture within CORP with the aim of joining Clan League. However, even with Clan League, the prevalent idea of "clan war" is still to hijack clans.
I'm not making that suggestion because I want to see Clan Wars happen; I understand that I can just 1v1 people/etc.; however, there are other people whose idea of Clan War is simply to hijack clans (like mine was earlier today) and absent an official Clan War system I don't think there's going to be a way to stop this. Ask the four or five biggest clans what their idea of Clan War is right now, and they'll talk about hijacking each other or smaller clans- not Clan League.

Clan hijacking (too much already have been hijacked and this is quite easy to do that) will not encourage or stimulate people to buy a clan, you do not waste your money for something you are not sure to preserve, really something needs to be done...

Actually, it will encourage even more since more folk (owners) are losing them and wanting to get a new one. And chances are, if they were willing to pay for one, they are more willing to pay for another.

Well I do not believe that people disappointed by a first bad experience would try a second time to buy another clan, if people continue to complain and report what is bad or not working then less and less people would be willing to buy a clan, until it is fixed.

Mercer, I'm considering the membership just for the API privileges, but I still have to think about it a bit as I'm quite frugal (and need to be, given how much college costs now :().
Just out of curiosity, what stack is WL written in?

Mercer, the clan which was hijacked is CORP (Coalition of Role Playing Friends), but we were really lucky to finally be able to take again control of our clan.
Now I will explain to Lolowut why we "gave manager rights away": actually we were first 4 historical managers (Kazuki being the leader) but 3 of us became inactive or too busy to keep the clan really working, so I had to find new managers to keep the clan alive (one of them being knyte). Those new managers really helped to revive our clan, as we finally recruited new members, and they gave many good ideas to improve our clan (thinking of Tjoex) to restructure the clan and again improve it. Unfortunately one of the new managers, The Lone Wolf, was the bad guy and planned to hijack the clan and take the clan for himself, hijacked clans is not a rare thing, many were already hijacked, and some like the UN clan or the Illuminati clan were never taken back by their founders (quite ironically CORP was founded after UN was hijacked as a "refugee clan" but they later made another new clan: the League of Nations).
That's why implement a split of manager rights to avoid any insane people to remove the founder would be a really good idea (people recruiting should only have the ability to recruit nothing more, people managing the clan should have the ability to only change the clan's page and rank/titles, and finally the founder who paid REAL MONEY should have some guarantees to keep his clan safe from any people having malicious intent and wanting to steal his clan), and I think (I am not a programmer but that's my opinion) to not difficult to make it.

@ Apollo
You are never 100% sure or safe to not be hijacked someday, I know some people who can cheat you easily because they made some perfect alts, some are patient and take months to be accepted in a clan and once they finally get manager rights they can remove all of you if they want it.
BTW, do you think we were like 20 managers? we were more or less 4-5 active managers, as for Apex, GG, blitz those clans I am always hearing of, they are not easily hijacked because their managers are, I believe, the same since the very start (as they were lucky to keep historical managers active) furthermore their recruitment is quite different from ours, as we are also a Role Playing clan we do not focus on few "elite" players, but we recruit motivated members who would participate actively in our clan.

Not everyone needs home security either. Or insurance. That's not a good reason to not have it or to not implement it to begin with.
But I understand the issues. I believe this might be achievable through a third-party extension, however, so let me see if I can go about implementing that.
EDIT: Just to clarify things, CORP doesn't get involved in these "squabbles"- we don't go around like certain clans trying to hijack them. However, one clan did feel it was necessary to have another clan because someone approached them about wanting a clan and they decided this was a better alternative than paying WarLight for it so we were targeted. It's not because of any stupid "clan war" as much as it's because of our vaguer join criteria (how do you measure whether someone is a good RPer? Is there such a thing?) which makes it tougher to weed out players like the one who hijacked us.
