The following was mentioned in the Clan Leader section. Perhaps to do with a future update later this month.

Clan Updates: Reserving your clan name

To discuss, talk about or ask questions about this - head over to the discussion thread. This thread is purely just for the information that we need.

This thread will close on 6th April at 5pm GMT.

Hey everyone,

As you should hopefully noticed from your inbox message, we're looking to reserve all of the clan leader's clan names prior to the clan update being launched.

With the update, each clan will have a unique Clan Name attached to it when created. Once selected, that name cannot be used or taken by any other clan. All the clan leaders have done a fantastic job at creating and leading their clans and keeping the clan community active and exciting so we naturally want to give you all the opportunity to reserve your clan's name beforehand. This is so that your clan name isn't taken by other players who aren’t currently in a clan but wish to set one up.

In order for us to register your clan name, there are a few restrictions and things that we'll need from you in order to do so. These are:

* Your Clan Name (Maximum of 20 characters long)
* Clan Owner (Current display name)1
* 4 Other starting clan members (Their current display names, do not have to be original members)1

1 - We strongly advise that for the names given you do not change your display name for the foreseeable future! This will greatly speed up the process for us and reduce any problems getting your clan setup.

This thread will remain auto-hidden so that only J-Mods can see the reservations in case there are issues of privacy.

Thanks,
Mod Timbo & Mod Kathy

Sam: Thanks. And I saw the post before checking my inbox or signing on game.

Our name magically fits 20 letters perfectly "World 9 Headquarters". As for the first 4 registered members of the clan I put Kire667, W9HQ, NGoR36, NGoR46. I'll begin recruiting and adding clan members to the list once Jagex finally makes the update and makes us the same as World of Warcraft -- limit 1 clan per account name (or perhaps a 200 ranks list for clan chat that doesn't affect the friends list).

Oh and another victory last night. We all remember the imposter that made the name Catherby9 a rank-only clan so everyone trying to join catherby 9 saw that and figured they need rank to join w9hq. The account was banned and Jagex freed up the name recently. I just so happened to try adding it to my ignore list again and it told me no such user name found. So obviously I registered it under my e-mail address so no one shall ever again try posing as our chat in any way (we've got the full board covered far as I know).

"Jagex ****ed us again." Nobody says it better than NightmareRH. I would have said it but I was always too busy saying **** Jagex and making it personal hatred rather than a statement or slogan.

The "Clan Name" is the title of a clan chat on April 11th 2011. The "Owner" is what we type to join that clan chat on April 11th 2011.

Starting April 12th Mod Timbo and Mod Kathy both failed to explain to any of us clan leaders that the owner is no longer important and everyone will type in the name to join clan chat.

We were royally screwed over when we had to type the maximum letters of 20 just to join "World 9 Headquarters" when we luckily got on in time to reserve "W9HQ" and "Catherby from my other 2 accounts. But this is besides the point. "World 9", "9" and "W9" were taken. Everyone trying to be us. If only any of Jagex with half a brain could have fully explained clan name reservations and told us the owner name doesn't make a difference we would have easily reserved the name "world 9" and there would be no fuss. Plain and simple.. we WOULD own "world 9". But because Jagex fails at life and at the ability to explain a simple thing as an update to clan chat -- we got ****ed. No other way to state it.

A video rant WILL be going up on YouTube later this week. Starting work on that now and hopefully be complete sooner than my last video (took 3 days to edit).

That's the main thing I'm ranting about in my new YouTube video. Updates I suggested in the Clan Leader forum today that SHOULD HAVE ALREADY BEEN IN AFFECT soon as April 12th arrived.

1) There should be inbox or clan tab requests pending for offline users or for users wanting to join a clan. This removed the burden of having two players need to log on the same world at the same spot at the same time... just to recruit 1 new member to clan chat.

2) There should be a way to make lower ranks allowed to add new members to the clan. Not just Admin, Deputy, Owner.

3) There should be a way to make motif, motto, world, time and link ONLY altered by the Owner. Allowing Deputy and Admins to alter clan information makes total chaos. They're only ranked to add new members and NOT to **** with the clan information and cape every 5 minutes. There's fights over what the cape should be, people join or leave based on what cape design you have, and it's complete and utter bull **** that could easily be avoided if Jagex had a brain.

3) Clan Chat ranks of April 11th should automatically convert to new Clan Chat ranks on April 12th. There's idiocy at Jagex when we only keep rank in Friend Chat, yet we have to meet every single Friend Chat user individually just to move them to Clan Chat. Imagine if you will they convert RuneScape 1 to RuneScape 2 and your stats didn't carry over and neither did the items. You have to start the new game as a level 3 with every skill level 1. I'm pretty sure a lot of people would give Jagex the big "**** you" and move to World of Warcraft.

4) There's too many damn clans. In our day there weren't even half as many clans. Recruitment for a clan means you had the owner on to add somebody manually and they didn't need to meet the player to join. Just had to let somebody know on the website or on Runescape forums under a clan thread. There's too many chiefs and not ample indians. We need more followers and less people forming 5 member clans in order for this update to function properly. I think in order to convert over to a "clan" you should be required to have at least 30 members active daily for a week in Friend Chat to request Jagex to change it into a Clan.

Just saying.

And yes I know I rant a lot. I'm back to my old self again. We have Jagex to blame for it with yet another ail update that would have easily been the best update since Clan Chat was made in 2007 -- but yet again somehow it magically got ****ed up -- royally.
