I want a thread that's wholly about Clan Support. Since I'm lazy, I'll even quote from the OP of that other thread: Quote: My second constructive suggestion is that you REALLY brainstorm and put together some various things for Clans. If you want this game to survive through time you have to make room for the serious Triber by letting him create a clan, having clan prefixes, clan web pages, clan rosters, clan blogs, clan video archives... What is the holdup? It can't possibly be technical difficulties. I've got a clan of over 300 members. 200 of them have played Tribes 2. Less than 20 that I know of have installed T:A. Of those 20, less than half are actively playing it. The two biggest complaints from those 20 is about how OP the Autos are and .... Clan Tags. With Clan tags, I could increase our T:A player count substantially as well as start to recruit new players. Especially if HR fixes the Custom Server browser so that those servers would actually fill up and not sit idle like the one I rented is currently doing. This would be a good thing for Hi-Rez. It would increase their revenue. I'm absolutely stumped as to why they haven't done this yet. Are they waiting until they can incorporate it into their planned open competition ladders? Don't! Get the Clann support done first and add the ladders later. We don't even need all the bells and whistles from the above quote in the beginning. Just get the basics in place. Hi-Rez should realize what the fan base for T2 was so fiercely loyal. It was the sense of community because it had the best Clan support of any game ever. The only one that was even close would be World of Warcraft and theirs came years later. Also, add something that the T2 clans setup didn't have: A recruit tag that can be used for those who have applied to join a clan, but haven't been accepted yet. We used to have people add a "r_" to their name, but it was a clunky workaround and since you charge for name changes...it wouldn't be fair or practical.

Dear Hi-Rez: For the love of God, add Clan Support

I know someone started a similar thread, but it was split between this and Custom Servers. I want a thread that's wholly about Clan Support.

Since I'm lazy, I'll even quote from the OP of that other thread:

What is the holdup? It can't possibly be technical difficulties.

I've got a clan of over 300 members. 200 of them have played Tribes 2. Less than 20 that I know of have installed T:A. Of those 20, less than half are actively playing it. The two biggest complaints from those 20 is about how OP the Autos are and .... Clan Tags.
