Here's the story behind the "null" clan motto...

As you all know, the clan CC is named "Kingdom of Asgarnia". However, this precursor takes up too much of the chat line. We were hoping that Jagex would allow clans to assign a shortened precursor to the chat line, such as "KoA". Unfortunately, this hasn't happened. Rather, Jagex has instead allowed established clans to change their names. The new clan name would then serve as the precursor line text. One option would have been to change the clan name to "KoA" and for the motto to be "Kingdom of Asgarnia." However, KoA is not an option at this time because another clan, Knights of Ascension, is already using "KoA". See http://services.runescape.com/m=clan-hi ... landing.ws

We have a list of candidate clan mottos but had hoped to see a resolution to the CC precursor issue. Apparently, this won't be resolved by the time of Clan Citadels. So, Admin will choose a clan motto from the candidate list.

With the upcoming advent of Clan Citadels, the clan CC is becoming more important for KoA. Indeed, we may need to move the clan from the "KoA Clan" Friend CC to the "Kingdom of Asgarnia" Clan CC. If that's the case, most chat (with the exception of team events, like GWD) would occur in the Clan CC. In addition, people who multi-clan may have to decide where their primary clan allegience lies. No decisions on this yet. But, these are issues Admin will need to consider.

P.S. If you haven't joined the Clan CC yet and want to, see Poppy, Debs, Tamal, or me, in game, and we'll add you.

P.S.S. Out of 117 KoA members, 74 are signed into the Clan CC.

This here is where I wish Jagex would step in and give preference of names to larger, more established clans. Its not that we're better then them, its simply that much more people are in and use our cc than theirs. Just look at the direct comparison and you can see we play the game more, would use the chat more and therefore should be able to have the more user friendly name.

Thanks Brad,
I appreciate yours and the other admin's and staff's efforts in what will certainly be a large undertaking when all is said and done.

I personally can't wait to help out with gathering resources and such, would be a fun clan event to go to every week

Agreed. I'm looking forward to it.

Sounds pretty interesting, I'm excited. I'll definitely help keeping it up (If I'm allowed to that is!).

But seriously, another clan update? We've had clan hiscores, capes, chat, multiple events and now this.
Now that I've finally found a good clan I'm actually looking forward to it, but I can't help but feel bad for the people who don't. :roll:

After watching the trailer, It would be fun to build our own kingdom and gathering our own ressources would be very fun.

Im looking foward to that 8)

Looking forward to somthing else as well. hope we also can agree to disagree as well with out some major argument. KOA is a wonderful clan. really like to see it stay that way.

I'm really looking forward to it too, if what it sounds like is what it will actually be like. It sounds like a really fun clan activity.

Been excited for this for a while now. I think they made the right choice by not just making it a money pit.

From the Citadel Dev Blogs forum discussion:

Blood Forest : Will it cost GP for clans to upgrade Hot spots like it does in Construction for POH? Also are construction levels needed?

Answer: No GP is required in the citadel. And no, hotspots don't need construction to update.


Hodge19 : Can we use this update without a clan leader?

Answer: As long as there are other people in the clan with appropriate permissions/ranks then yes, there's no reason your clan leader needs to be involved.


Pancrisp : I supposed that we're gonna have day and night scenes in the clan citadel? Most probably based on the server time, right?

Answer : Your clan can choose to have your layout in a night time mode or a day time mode. It doesn't change with server time.


Ian Adler : Will people not in clans be able to visit these floating fortresses?

Answer: That depends entirely on how your clan sets the security options. If you want to allow guests, you can.


SageScotLass : If we change our cloak motif, does that automatically change the Citadel's matching motif??

Answer: Yes, your clan colours & motif are used on the citadel. However, the change is not immediate as it is with your cloaks, as the area will need to be rebuilt (at build tick time for definite, other times depend on other factors) for them to be applied.


Hope that helps answer some questions. And I'm glad that so many of you are looking forward to the update... I sure am!

and

The Skilling aspect is meant to be a way to use your skills produce resources, not a primary skill training method. XP awarded is calculated based on *your level* not the task, so we scale XP to give you slightly less than you'd expect to earn elsewhere at that level. The idea is that you spend a small amount of time per week fulfilling your clan obligations, not that you power-level in the citadel. The clan ring is there to compensate for the lower efficiency of skilling in the citadel, by giving you more xp when you go back out and skill normally.

The Citadel build tick is a week. i.e. you collect the resources, order a set of building tasks, and when the tick runs out, you all have to leave the citadel whilst its being rebuilt.

"To be clear, in the clan battle design...you can allow visitors to come and participate in the safe battles?"

Yes, as long as they are members of course.

"So I can roam across RS playing all kinds of different minigames in open castles?"

That's the idea Though the battlefield looks more like a battlefield than a castle. It is separate from the citadel itself (It is as big as a citadel ...).

Just a question, will helping the citadel count toward "clan activity" if were not a huge fan of normal events?
