GeekSqueak Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 With so many people playing the game, and so many being eager to join clans, we're running out of clan space. There is no realistic reason I can think of why we should be limited. Large clans will be necessary to carry out long-range engagements against other nations, not to mention organise and teach new players. The alternative is buying up a large number of smaller clans in-game just for one larger clan. It would be a great help to all of us if you could increase the clan size limit. Also, the clan online counter is broken. And a search function for people in the clan would be nice o.O Many thanks!

Grim DeGrim Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Not bad. I'd love to know which groups are pushing those limits - purely for intel purposes Very happy to hear that there are Naval Fleets (clan, society, guild, etc) that large.

Balsafer Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I'm sure a few people will stop coming online for months on end, kick em out to make room or create another clan/society Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzo Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 You probably have bunch of inactive players, that needs to be cleaned out. Even if so, that`s mean you developed enough in terms of player number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcmb Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 250 is enough. Dont invite everyone. Let other clans exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prater Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 you have almost 250? Crap, TDA only has 60 or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James T Skoll Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 250 is enough. Dont invite everyone. Let other clans exist. Yes, I'm sure those communities with literally thousands of people who would like to play together and be organized share your viewpoint. Bravo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruthless4u Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I am not big on mega clans, seems it would be easy to get a small amount of large clans vying over territory. You can have multiple smaller clans and encourage more clan battles. Besides if you really want a large clan, just have different divisions and divide the map into territories that you want to conquer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James T Skoll Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 If you don't increase clan size limit, all that's gonna happen is the really big groups are going to have several 250 sized that STILL work together. Essentially all you do is create a minor annoyance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're gonna be dividing up into subgroups after this, but it just makes communication slower. With the number of people playing, there are still opportunities for smaller clans. It's simply an inconvenience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wang Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 (edited) We are about to reach the 70 person mark, and finding it hard enough to manage, organize and supply the clan properly (TS can become quiet interesting when you get than many people in one channel :/ )I don't know how the hell you guys are organizing 250 people in this game with such limited clan mechanics implemented eg. no clans warehouse. I do not envy your logistics.....I believe 250 is a good number for a large clan, at this point in the game, if you want to expand it more i would split up into different clans. (Battle and Trade/Craft) for example, or you could even go with TZ split.Remember clans are only 2 things in this game at the moment a tag, and a clan chat box. I would suggest it would help you a lot to actually split the clan. Edited February 3, 2016 by Wang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taranis Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I'm going to guess that the limitation is due to the server's capacity. Seems about 500-600 players is a "medium" load... So if the max is say 1200, then 250 is about 20% of that server's population... Hopefully, server capacities will increase over time and not just multiply.

When you're used to games, like EVE, where your organization is literally thousands of people, then a 250 limit is childs play in comparison. I don't think one group should be limited just because another cannot handle it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frost Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 -1. Fleet size is large enough. I always see this oh they'll just make multiple Clans but it rarely happens, never a good reason to increase the zerg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have between 40 and 70 online tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
