it hasn't changed much. they are still in beta but it's OPEN beta now. the clan system works in game so if a clannie and you are on you'll see them. they won't always be on the same level of the game as you, you know there are different realms so the server doesn't have to calculate everyone's movement on the same page, but you'll still see a colored dot saying they're there. invite them to your group or "crew" and they'll be on the same realm as you. Now they could be in other servers and they will not show up. The clan should claim a server we will always be on, and a secondary we'll fall back on should the main one be down. we can open a thread saying what time or when we'll be on so other people can join us. maybe a charity bin subforum so people can ask for rings and people can say what rings they are willing to give away. a quest help or quest request thread or subforum so people can ask for help in the game or give people hints as how or where to go.
