In regards to simply closing dead clans, perhaps there is a way that this can be done a little simpler by incorporating the coding issues into removing inactive leaders. What I would suggest is instead of coding clans to detect how often the clan leader logs in, instead make it check how often all clan members log in, and removing that person from the clan if they don't log in for X number of months.

This would then give us the best possible scenario:
- An in-game automated clan sweep
- If all members are removed due to inactivity, the clan would cease to exist
- If the 'swept' person is the clan leader, Ownership would automatically pass to the next highest rank

Of course this would require alot more resources in terms of the system having to store data for up to 500 people x all clans, so I understand if this isn't possible. I am merely suggesting what would be, in my opinion, the ideal system that would (presumably) require less coding because it's all based off the same "check time since last login" style system.

If it IS possible for the system to even allow a check on Owner's activity (Which Mod Maz has not even confirmed yet), then presumably/hopefully that could be extended to all clan members.

Lists, lists and more lists! A Virgo's life blood!

And if possible, with programming parameters, I support this as much as it can be done. Shadesidhe - Deputy Owner of

Do I mind poking Mod Infinity again?

Yes I do. If he has not replied or dealt with it yet there will be a reason - some things take longer than others and rely on other things to e completed. Fansites are his responsibility and he said he was dealing with it so I'll be leaving it in his hands :) Mod MattHe | Former Community Manager, now in Events & occasional Lore Monkey

Inactive Clans are *much* less of a concern than inactive clan owners - it is possible that an inactive clan owner could leave other active players in a difficult or awkward position that reduces their game fun directly - much less the case with inactive clans, who are very low impact on the fun of other players. Irritant perhaps but not a substantial problem. Mod MattHe | Former Community Manager, now in Events & occasional Lore Monkey

I'm curious what meets the criteria for inactivity then. Our clan's owner doesn't even play, and has not played since the release of Evolution of combat into the game in 2012. He doesn't help us invite new clan mates anymore, doesn't visit or gather resources at our citadel, does not even talk to our clan in chat other than to say a random "hello / sup" while he is logged in for five minutes. It used to be once a week, but now he doesn't even have membership anymore and I have not seen him log in but once this year.

Is this topic for closing clans that have no active members / leaders?

Is anything happening with this as there is a thread posted in website and forum feedback asking for help with an inactive leader and I would like to be able to tell them to wait or that nothing can be done. Thanks. :)

Hi Belldandy 22 ,

I would expect an "Inactive Clan Owner" status to be someone who has not logged in at all for over 6 months perhaps? That is not set in stone by any means but someone who logs in once a week or every couple of weeks, even if it is just for a short time, is still maintaining contact with the game.
