There’s no doubt that clans make an MMO. While it is true that a title can flourish on players running around rag-tag, nothing says organized community like a healthy clan system. Clans can bring a number of their players from other games, and can liven up the environment in whatever title they inhabit to incite those who may be on the edge to join, or simply not quit.
Case in point: Alganon! Over on the Alganon boards, a clan by the name of Silent Warriors Gaming, publicized by Jon Norton, aka Healshot. Norton and his clan want to spread the word of Alganon, and he is willing to go on all number of MMO forums to let the call be heard, even if it is mostly copied and pasted from one website to the next. Healshot is looking to get Alganon mentioned on a few MMO podcasts, as well as the clan’s own podcast.
I’m not going to vouch for the community standing, or possible lack thereof, on Silent Warriors Gaming, but it’s good to see a clan taking interest in promoting a small title, even if that clan doesn’t have any posts on its own Alganon forums…
