What are clans really for?

Well, currently, clans are for reducing the income of each player who decides to join the clan, and the income of the clan leader who forms and upgrades said clan.

While it is a cute idea to emulate every other online RPG by forming clans, the real truth is our developer is a part time coder who implements half ideas and half plans in order to increase revenue.

Currently we have a system by which we can trade TC for ingame gold. This is the primary means of generating cash for higher epic items and higher level gems, trophies, etc.

There are of course other means of income, such as trading (poor system at best), and hunting monsters (RT requires $$)

By reducing income by taking a percentage of our drops, we effectively do two things. Reduce our secondary income from monsters, and increase our need of primary income (TC ($$)). In order to get away with it, we are promised RUNE POWER.

What is Rune Power?

Lets immediately say it is nothing. Since it doesn't exist. The clan option was implemented BEFORE Rune power precisely to "build up" our rune power. Which is meaningless.

What COULD Rune power be?

Well this is a browser game. By advertising that it vastly increases our strength, lets look at the current system of game play. We have no trouble reaching the maximum level or killing monsters much higher than the maximum level. So Rune Power , no matter what it may be in the future, is not really necessary with the given game mechanics.

So what are clans in Nodiatis? Money Sinks to reduce our income and increase our willingness to buy Time Cards.

Jeff isn't a stupid businessman. Increase Demand by changing game mechanics increases profit. Simple as that.

But hey, we get an obnoxious chat on the left hand side of our game window, making private messages extremely difficult to catch and system messages flashing by at the speed of light.

Cheers Jeff!

As always, It's good to see entrepreneurship at work. Profit profit profit! weeee

OMG jeff!! you should perma ban flippy!! do you understand what he just said to you???!!!! =O

Thanks for enlightening us, Poopoo. Now you made me wonder whether the whole game might be designed to actually earn money with it? What about epics? Premium accounts, grinder, accelerator? Please don’t tell me these contents solely exist to tempt players who want to be faster/stronger to pay for something that can just as well be passed on.

fortunately those things tell us to our face, I want your money

The clan thing is more subtle. I guess you'd know that but your too cool trying to rub common sense into my face. But whoops, we already figured it out.

ZOMG CONSPIRACY!! *puts tinfoil hat on*

I dont see nothing wrong with increasing profit. If i was Jeff i would rip off all of u and bury u alive while u still breath.

Tho i would leave Flippeh alive as my right hand...

[flipynifty]

well its a good thing ur n as many clans as u could possibly b in then poo!

i think ur partially right, tho but i agree w ravenskar

still givin jeff the benefit of the doubt w clans bein a huge improvement to this game tho..
only thing thats implemented is clan chat and i <3 it. dont even bother w uncivil nemore lol

Economically, clans
- decrease the amount of gold coming in circulation, thus counter inflation.
- increase the amount of TCs bought with real money and sold for ingame gold.

Even if
