Summoning Avatars
Quick find code: 86-87-288-65546423
Wanted to suggest something like this, but decided to search for threads just in case someone had already suggested it, because given the presence of clan avatars, someone likely had and has created such a thread. Not sure if OP is still around.
Major support for this. I like the idea of an avatar habitat near the clan encampment. To add: I think clan avatars being familiar overrides would be even more powerful and meaningful.
My biggest gripe about summoning avatars: I LOSE CHAT from world hopping. As someone who really values communicating with people and developing relationships through conversation, this includes :
- Sensitive private messages, sometimes about personal matters that a friend/clannie is going through, or heck even interpersonal advice for two clannies who are struggling to come to terms with one another. (True story)
- Silly conversation in the clan chat
- Learning opportunities in the clan chat where someone else or myself is explaining something. A few of our recent recruits have been folks I've shown how to do things, or helped out with in-game, actually. And a former guest, now future clanmate once her cooldown is over, remarked how our clan shares a lot of information about happenings and content.
A few others reasons why a lot of our avatar wardens don't summon the avatar:
- Inaccessible--requires fetching the banner from the bank, world hopping, teleporting to the avatar habitat, and either "Joining" to the clan homeworld, or tele'ing to the entrance to return to their previous world.
- Unable to have a summoning familiar out while doing slayer, which some of our clannies are fond of.
An avatar habitat right by the clan encampment/clan banner would make literally A WORLD of difference. Literally an entire world.
So I would support that, but the "biggest win" situation would be if avatars could become familiar overrides, similar to how the Chronicle pet still confers a 5% bonus when it's used as a familiar override.

There's plenty of documentation on the internet about race conditions, it's a common thing in distributed computer programming. Think of airline booking, and airplane with only one seat left, and two travel agents, both booking that seat for a different customer, and how to handle that when they're all several thousand miles apart
There are multiple ways of approaching a solution. The way that our citadel data system works is to only have the data accessible on one world at a time.
As for "where there's a will there's a way" it's more like, where there's time and resources there's a way. For me, as a content developer, I can only use the tools that I'm provided, I don't have the access (or knowledge) to write new ones - only engine devs can do that and they're just a leeeetle busy at the moment making the entire game work in HTML5 - as well as many other jobs!
I could of course make my life easy and just lie to you guys and say that yes I'll get it all fixed tomorrow, or simply just stop posting here but that's not what I'm here for and isn't productive. As you've seen from my previous posts on the forum and releases, I like to keep you guys informed as to what I can and can not do in an honest fashion - and where I have some time, implement quick fixes. This, I will continue to do - for as long as you guys & girls want me to (or until TPTB say otherwise).

I don't know but for us, anyone who is fussed enough about getting the 6% bonus has no issue with going to the citadel to summon it.
I'm usually not fussed and hate the hopping etc so I don't
A good thing however is that they're working on making chat history persist between hopping/lobbying which solves a big part of the issue.
Regarding the Chronicle pet, Jagex made it this way so they ensure people have it displayed (purpose being advertising the game a lot) and it's only a temporary feature.
You cannot use your avatars as overrides, especially with their various functions and buffs, as they're meant to be a trade-off for the holder between them or a certain familiar that offers different functions and benefits.
