A clan is a tightly bound group of adventurers that have banded together due to friendship, similar interests, or just for fun.
Clans generally form a structure of support for their fellow clan members offering assistance, protection, offense, and grouping for experience, equipment, and conversation. Clans unite under a single banner, enjoying the privileges of an exclusive clan house and intra-clan communication.
Clans are usually run by one or more powerful characters. The leaders of a clan have the power to enroll and dismiss characters from the clan fellowship. Any immortal staff that is a member of a clan has full leadership privileges.
Clans may have up to 10 ranks with titles chosen by the owner. A clan badge will appear beside the name and title of a clan member on the who list unless they choose to hide it with the CLANHIDE command.
All clan content is customizable at the convenience of the immortal in charge of clans and houses. Contact Wish by mudmail for clan requests.

After achieving level 10 your character is able to join a clan. Like any friendship circle, there are criteria for joining, unique and different for each clan. Shop around, ask questions, and get to know the players in each clan. Choose wisely; joining a clan that is at war with a clan your friends are in can be problematic, seek a clan from which you can form the best bond.
After determining which clan you are interested in, contact the clan leaders and express that interest. Also spend time with the members of the clan, as some clans vote on who can be admitted. Prove your worth, avoid being a pest, and have fun.
If you are simply too cool to bother with preexisting clans, you can attempt to form your own. To request the formation of a new clan your character must be 40, be able to play 50 million gold or credits, and have 9 other people who have agreed to join. Send ONE mail to Wish with your request. Be sure to included your clan name, badge design, and member list.
A clan badge is a text/ascii art flag that appears on the who list after a clan member’s name and title. Some examples from the past are: +neurotik+, Q.u.a.k.e.R., >>>—/—+>, and (_-Dagger-_). Clan badges can be hidden using the clanhide command.
Clans may have up to 10 ranks with titles, determined by the clan leaders.. These ranks are often used for fun within clans and usually determine hierarchy. Ranks can be anything, from General to Grand Poobah to Butterfingers to whatever.
Claninfo or cinfo retrieves technical information about your clan, listing the clan badge, member size, clan bank account, list of ranks, and room titles of the clanhouse. All members can deposit money into the clan bank account using the deposit <amount> clan command, but only leaders can withdraw funds.
Each clans has its own communication channel. Clansay or csay is how you talk to only your clan. Clanemote or cemote <message> is also available.
Similar to player houses, clan houses are purchasable and editable rooms for clans to rest, chat, and enjoy. From underwater enclaves to floating castles, the descriptions of a clanhouse can be anything determined by the clan leaders.
Clanhouse rooms are devoted solely to the clan, protected from non-clan members, and are often adorned with city-like amenities, such as a fountain, shopkeeper, and an inn. Using the loadroom set command, clannies can set their loadroom to their clanhouse instead of their default loadroom in their city of residence.
A clan war is a pkilling conflict between two more or clans over just about anything. Clan wars have sparked over strutting rights and civil war within a clan. These wars tend to appear swiftly and end just as swiftly. Relatively few people usually die, just enough for the stronger clan to make its point. Clanwars are rare, dangerous, and exciting.
