you want to, so no need for al lthe sour comments. The upside is
that people got some incentive to look around and join. Speaking of
which, if you are interested in joining properly - my clan is
recruiting.
Brynd: We wish you good luck in your recruitment
drive.

play this game without joining a clan, why should they be excluded.
From a clan point of view, I wouldn't want people joining a clan I
am in just for these missions, and then probably never contribute
anything towards the clan due to them not wanting to join in the
first place.
Brynd: Trying to force people? A little encouragement, maybe. We're
not trying to force anything, though. We totally understand that
clans aren't for everyone.

with the game. I had no friends who played the game and I
wasn't in a clan - so I was strictly a solo player. The
thing that reinvigorated my interest was an invite to join a clan.
I had no idea what being in a clan involved so when I next
started the game I was surprised to see a new channel at the bottom
of my garage called the name of my clan. I opened it up
and saw a bunch of players in the right hand pane and some chat
messages in the left pane. Then someone said "Hello
krazypenguin, welcome to the clan!" (or something like that!) and
that was it - instant access to a group of players who would
happily platoon with me and work together in battle. I'd
never experienced that and it was (and still is) brilliant.
Then I found out that the clan have their own website and forum - a
micro-community within the larger WoT community - where we shared
funny stories, tactics, our victories and defeats. It was
great fun. I guess the point is that being part of a
community makes the game much more rewarding and fulfilling.
Of course, it also benefits WG since it encourages players to stay
in the game but that's fair enough and it doesn't cost the player
anything. So it is a win-win situation.
Brynd: I'm pleased to read of your experience,
krazypenguin.

Being part of a clan can bring a
new and welcome dimension to enjoying the game and yes of
course we're supportive of the idea that people might
stick around a little longer in the game because of the feeling of
friendship and camaraderie that being part of a clan can
bring.
