Hey there, so I just want to start off by saying this is an idea formed by the collaboration of some of my #TNG Clanmates, as well as some of the community members who have posted below.
The idea is something seen in a few other servers, which is in-game Clan Tags. Maximum of 3 letters (to prevent spam), this would help people figure out what clan everyone is from. This is especially helpful in the Wilderness as bigger clans have trouble remembering all their new recruits.
Now to prevent masses of people creating their own Clans just to have a cool little Tag beside their name, players would have to register their Clan Name in-game by talking to an NPC and paying a fee of perhaps 5-10m; #Moneysink. This price is only temporary and I would like to know what price you guys think it should be. Now in order for new recruits to have your Clan Tag in their name, as the Clan Owner, you can either invite a player into your clan and have them accept, or a player may apply to join your clan and you the Clan Owner can choose to accept or deny. This can all be done at an NPC as well, where you can also choose to set your Clan as "Invite-Only", to prevent dozens of unwanted spam applications.
TL;DR:
- Clan Tag appears beside the Player's username
- Clan Tag is a maximum of 3 letters.
- As the Clan Owner, to create your Clan Tag you must talk to an NPC and pay a fee of perhaps 50-100m (It is this high to make Clan Tags more respected as it's a 3-letter tag added to all Clan Member's usernames) #Moneysink
- A Playtime requirement of 1-2 days is needed to create a Clan Tag - Credits to
Iron Flee - Certain ranks can invite players to officially join the Clan with a Clan Tag
- Players can apply to join the clan and obtain the Clan Tag.
- Clan Owners can choose to set the Clan as "Invite Only"
- Option to toggle on/off Clan Tags from being visible to you - Credits to

Pros:
- Helps Clans identify their clanmates in the Wilderness
- Can be deemed an official way of joining a Clan
- #Moneysink when creating the Clan Tag
Cons:
- Clan Tags may look tacky to some (however being able to toggle them being visible to you will counter this)

Thanks for reading, and please let me know what you think and if you have any further ideas to build on top of this!
