A place for The Mana World players to discuss game-related topics outside the scope of development including guilds, player interactions, game meta and more.
Hey everybody please do not hate on this topic! This has nothing to do with me hating th Holy Mana Clan... I would like to get a group of people together that are willing to think outside the box and help start a new clan... This would add so much to the game... Only one clan has seemed to do well in this game and it is HMC i would like to change that and have two top clans... I cant do it all on my own though... If you are willing to help then post on here... We will get ideas going and then work on a website for it...I am serious about this...I just hope some other people are too.. I have had some help coming up with some clan name ideas and here they are "Redemption"--"Children of Mana"--"The Assassins"--"Shielded Stars"-- "Broken Affliction"...if you have any other great ideas let me know or just tell me which one you like ... feel free to give any input you think might be helpful to the making of this clan... I am currently coming up with a mission statement because you got to have some kind of a mission so if you feel like helping post some ideas here or email the to me at jayson_gordon@hotmail.com Keep checking back this will keep being updated...Promise

Making a new clan in TMW is not a bad thing, and you will certainly not get hated because of that
I think it is healthy for the game with more than one clan, more than one choice (I don't want to be like Bill Gates), and it would be great with some work between clans
Excellent Idea. One clan has dominated TMW for a while. And from the look of it, GonzoDark is behind it and he is in HMC. Well, I am too and I am all for this. Ideas from anyone would be great!
It's a great idea Adril, but seriously. Stop adding in new ideas to an old post. Editing should only be done (IMO) if you made a mistake. You're allowed to make new posts and it makes things easier on us
I've always wanted there to be more then one clan. Not only so we wouldn't have a monopoly, but also to spice things up. And thirdly some healthy competition can bring out the best performance. So yeah, I wish you best of luck. It's been a bit disappointing to see so many clans fail to survive under the pressure of competing against the big clan we've grown out to be. So perhaps we should help out to get you going? Maybe you should come to our clan meeting next Sunday, and we'll see what we can do.
5t3v3 a.k.a. L; retired leader of HMC
I hope you don't find this condescending of me, but since I was the most active leader during the initial growth of our clan, and since I wrote the mission statement which I believe contributed a lot to our clan's succes. I thought I'd give some pointers as to how to make your clan attractive to players.
Step 1, Find out the objectives that player might have in a MMORPG
- Fun: enjoying the game, passing a good time
- Image: being a respected player of the game
- Power: havening the highest level, being an advanced player
- Material: having the most items/wealth
- ...
Step 2, accommodating these wants and the want not's
- FUN: Find an objective for your clan, HMC objective was: "to have more activities in game". Make sure people have a motivation to join your clan. Make people want to be a part of it. There was this one clan that was supposed to be a merchant's guild, with the aim of making money, but I think most people were critical of it being a pyramid scheme. Either way, I doubt people would join a clan for the purpose of making profitable trades, when they can do that without clan in the first place.
- IMAGE: Protect the image of your members. People might be afraid that becoming a member will reflect bad on their image, so make it clear you tolerate only good behavior and take importance in image. Also make sure that your clan's decisions and rules are respectful and ethical.
- POWER: some clans in some games have limitations on joining, for example must be high level. The Chaos Of Death clan demanded that it's members trained a minimum number of hours/week. HMC on the other hand instead of only accepting high levels, or setting demands, we encourage and aid our lower levels to advance and become more powerful, but don't pressure those that aren't interested in power.
-MATERIAL: it might seem cheap, so don't try to "buy" members, but a clan that gives it's wealth back to it's members is always more attractive then a clan with the soul purpose of making money. The dragon hunters for example was another unsuccessful clan that demanded fee's to join, and fee's to advance levels, but offered nothing in return.
We also now have a Donation Pod!
Shattered Silence Donat!
I know it is spelled wrong...
Did it on purpose to help you detect fake donation pods!

Welcome back, where have you been? =) (I know about you had some problem with your "new game", because it where a copy of another game, but it is nice to have you back )
I really agree with this and i am willing to help and join if you'de like! My in-game name is Tyga and an alt of mine is Blankie... So if i can help you in any way let me know!
Out of all the name suggestions you listed i have to say the only one i really liked was Children of Mana... But thats just my opinion and a suggestion of mine is Devil Wingz... See i played a game called Cabal and that was the best guild i had ever been in. The people were nice it wasn't to big not too small it was awesome and the leaders name was Blankie so i am just kinda paying tribute to him and his awesomeness haha! So lemme know what you think of the name.
