Since the idea for Clans IS to unite against opression, couldnt there be a simple way to truly do this? there are hundreds of clans, many with almost identical ideals, but the process it takes for the 2 to become one is INSANELY difficult, without losing the people who aren't daily players.
My suggestion is the option for a clan leader to have /org unite [other clan name] as an invitation command. if accepted via a vote or something, there would be a new clan, under a new name, with the same people in their old leadership positions, the leaders could be CO-Presidents or leader based on experience, the bank funds pooled, leaderships (i.e. generals and squad commanders) could be adjusted based on needs, and all the underlingmembers still intact under a new banner, a more powerful clan. If the idea of unity is part of the Clanners' base plot, this should be a very important addition to AO. Please FC, please strongly consider this as an addition to guild structuring, because it could prove madly useful.
