Clan List tags - ability to tag those who are looking for new clans and guesting or similar.

Not possible. There is no way for us to store tags as there is no clan data available for the player as they are not a member of the clan. So not technically possible.

Tag new Clan members - so they show up in Clan as a new member.

This is on our backlog to do, so is a feature that will be added in due course.

Citadel cap as a D&D - make the citadel cap process to be reset and recorded as a D&D.

This is not possible - it would require a complete rework of the Citadel system and the D&D system as currently the information required for the D&D system to be aware of it is not available to that system and it would be extremely difficult to allow them to see each other.

Guest Clan Chat Whitelist - provision of a list whereby clan's could administrate access for guests by including a "whitelist"

Yes. This is technically possible though we will require the engine team to pitch in, on parts of it.

Guest Clan chat with notes - the ability to make notes for guest clan chat.

No. This would have a massive potential data issue, especially around storage and how we move the player data around. Not technically possible.

Guest Clan chat with passwords - a password is required to access the guest clan chat.

This is also doable but we think it probably has a greater management and technical overhead than a whitelist. But is possible.

Clan Merge Tool - provide a tool to allow for the merger of clans.

This is doable and is already listed on our backlog for future development.

7 Day Limited Member - make membership front-loaded rather than back loaded and add a limited membership facility.

This is essentially the Previous system and is not one we shall be returning to. As outlined in the design guidelines for the suggestions it does not meet a number of requirements for the feature.

Clan API Extension - various additions to the Clan API

These are probably doable but are reliant on the Web Development team who are extremely busy. A number of them are already on their backlog for development when they have the available resource.

Unofficial Clan Status - the creation of a rank which sits beside the Clan and does not have the functionality of the full clan members.

This either serves the same way as the previous system, in which case it fails to meet the requirements discussed mentioned, or it requires a development of a very complex system that sits alongside the current clan provision - that is not something we would add due to the huge technical difficulties it would create.

Colour probationer names in GCC - allow for the addition of colouring of prospective clan members

While this is probably technically possible it would have require quite a chunk of technical work, focused on engine development. This level of work means we would consider this low value for the gains made and we would be unlikely to add this to our development backlog.

Fixed Citadel Build/Cap reset - change the citadel build reset so that it is at the same time and day for everyone.

Well this is slightly a side issue from the discussion topic it is something we could look at - but it is a change we would want to use a Player Power Poll for or similar.

Queue to join clan

This is not technically possible as there would no way to provide for clan data for a player who is not part of the clan without creating an additional side system, with a very large development requirement.

"Probationer" rank

Again, this is essentially the old system and not a change we would make therefore as it fails to meet the requirements.

Merging both systems -

This would still leave a number of issues outstanding that we cannot see a way to technically resolve while running a hybrid of the two.

Guest Probationer Marker

This is reliant on both players being on the same world due to data availability technical issues but could be done technically. There is a discussion to be had of value compared to resource requirement though.

Remove 7 day Cooldown, add 1 Clan per month limit

This is doable but would require engine work and would create some interesting technical difficulties.

Guest Clan Chat Knock

To add a knock and invite system would require substantial engine work - we believe other suggestions would be more beneficial in the long run for the development required.

2 Additional ranks

Adding additional ranks would not fix the problems for which we outlined the requirements. It would also require an interface rework and would not allow for any special features.

"Is it true RuneScript has no double/float?"

Yes, it is true. "And" was only added in 2007. Yes. Really.
