I know clans are already ranked by Oro Kills, Player Kills, and number of members. But all those don't really feel too involving (gameplay-wise) for a member of the clan. Not to mention that those would drop when a high DK player rebirths or when someone leaves the clan. So here's what I came up with;
Clan Reputation
To put it simple, your clan gains reputation points whenever one of your members slay Orochimaru. Reputation gained will not drop when a player resets for KG, or leaves the clan. The clan's reputation drops the same way it is gained. When a member of your clan is slain by Orochimaru, your reputation drops.
The idea of having a moderator deduct a fix amount of reputation from your clan whenever a member of your clan is reported for breaking the rules of the game or causing trouble crossed my mind. But I figured it would be either too unfair or too much of a hassle.
Clan Level
Your clan gains exp whenever one of your members levels up. For each level you and your clan members gain, your clan will receive 100 exp. Example, to go from Level 0 to level 1, you need 100,000 exp. Level 1 to level 2 will require 250,000 exp, level 2 to level 3 requires 500,000 exp and so on. And just like reputation, you wouldn't lose any exp when a clan member leaves your clan.
The idea of members donating a certain % of their exp to the clan crossed my mind, but sitters can be a problem. Long time sitters can easily have over 1,000,000,000 exp. Fighting special creatures like the werewolf and Gorgon would give them an unimaginable amount of exp. In other words, this can easily be abused to level up the clan rapidly.
When your clan levels up, you will gain access to more clan related features. So instead of overwhelming a new clan leader with tons of features, we can now let them discover and try out these features at a much slower pace. Like how we discover new mounts as he gain more Oro Kills. Features like;
- Clan Avatar
- Clan Mails
- Clan Rooms
- Clan Hall Picture (allow players to upload a picture of their clan hall)
- and maybe some other things that have been rejected in the past, like clan coffers, clan buff and stuff.
