Just a head up - after some internal discussions we are looking at making changes to this system and our aim will be as follows:

A New Player should be able to join a Clan and skill in the Clan Citadel the same day

A Player leaving a Clan should be able to move Clans without delay, but should be restricted from using the Citadel of their new Clan for at least 7 days .

There are a number of technical and design hurdles to overcome but we'll be working on those in the New Year. These core requirements may be added to but they are the fundamentals we will be looking to achieve. Mod MattHe | Former Community Manager, now in Events & occasional Lore Monkey

Interesting. So basically new players have no probation at all, and other players can leave/join at will just with the old system in place?

If so glad to hear it! MrBrokenBow - Former Leader and Founder of

Yes yes yes yes yes.

This is what is needed to make it easy for players to change clans, while avoiding the problem of 'citadel skillers for hire'.

Excellent :)

Well good News but it leaves me wondering why we went thru all that pain with the 7 day cooldown.

The issue was never the Citadel , and it is less and less important to so many Clans. We were told the issue was Clan hopping ( related to Clan Cup but not related to Citadels). This change, while welcome makes no sense related to what we were told the problem was (not to mention the pain & loss that it cost the CLF and many Clans.

Edit - the way I read the change is -

We are back to the way it used to be ( the old system) with the exception of those who have not been in a Clan, who can work in a Citadel should they so chose immediately.

Sort of - there are some technical hurdles to overcome but those are the requirements we are aiming for. Mod MattHe | Former Community Manager, now in Events & occasional Lore Monkey

We have previously outlined the issues in detail - from our point of view the Citadel, new players and "skillers for hire" were all issues that were part of the background to the original change. Mod MattHe | Former Community Manager, now in Events & occasional Lore Monkey

this would be perfect :)

How about the avatar? Will the player swapping clans get orts to use for ava?

That would be the opposite of the design principles underpinning orts and avatars, so I think it is unlikely but I have no Mod Moltare to check with currently. Mod MattHe | Former Community Manager, now in Events & occasional Lore Monkey

k, thought using the ava bxp wasn't linked to the citadel usage.
