Hello everyone, I understand you are busy so I'll try to keep it brief.   


I'm one of the community managers for the clan ICE. It's a clan for all game modes and prides itself on being non-toxic, helpful and like a family. Some of the owners and notable members who you can often find in the cc and discord include King Purple, Watch Hentai, Ust Pk, Marushin, Lowkey, Pkdealer, Crowley(Loo), Dutchie and many more.

 

For at least the past 3 weeks, every day for several hours at a time our clan chat is completely full at the maximum of 100 members which means our members can't join. It has been suggested to make an ICE2 cc but to be quite honest we won't do that because it is going to divide our community. We also have an ICE discord with nearly 300 members and the majority of the people in our cc aren't even in the discord.

 

Sometimes when we are full at 100 players that is 1/4 to 1/6 of all active players in-game, so we are definitely a large clan and we strive every day to keep it free from all toxicity. We've had to kick and ban many players from our clan and it has kept us growing strong and from having a bad reputation. Being full all the time leads to a bad experience for many members who want to join our cc but can't and is stunting our growth.

 

I'm asking if we can have the capacity of the 'ICE' clan chat increased to the same size as the server clans like 'alora' and 'help' which I believe is 200 members. That will allow us to grow even more and give our members a better experience overall. We have been able to keep the clan non-toxic and strong for over 6 weeks thus far, so we can handle having an even larger player base in our clan chat.

Thank you for your consideration and please post with any concerns, questions, comments or support.

Support! Clan chat is full very often. Can't even join sometimes feelsbadman

[Dutchie]

Full support! Loads of people PMing me to say the clanchat is full

[NOT HUMAN]

I am in full support for this because of one reason, ICE and some other known game mode ccs are better than our own alora/help cc. They offer more experience, maturity, and a family to play with. People also take it more seriously and it isn't spammed with market nonsense or trolls that need to be dealt with daily.

[EIM Vixn]

100% support. Almost half the day people can't get in, and ICE helped me a ton while learning the game. Great for new irons.

[Sacred iron]

Gets my support! To often is our CC full, and we have people PM'ing asking why they cannot get in. Would love to see this happen

[Kc]

100% support! Still reletively new to alora and i've got a ton of help from everyone in here. Definitely sucks when the clan is full as it's very popular. 

[NOBRAINAPE]

I definitely support this idea.

[Ust Pk]

Would be amazing to see this happen! =) It would let us continue our growth and help alot more people! 

 

As the boys stated above, we are full most of the time (atleast when in my timezone) and we get swamped with pm's regarding the cc being full!

Support, during peak times I can't even get into the ICE CC. It's like being locked out of your own house.

[Phantom]

Support, This is much needed with no valid reason not to be added.

[Fuck rs]

That would be nice. Support.

[Chuva]

Ice cc is actually so huge when i log on sometimes i cant enter the cc, please make this a thing

[Rangerboots]

Agreed, I need more people in the ice CC to bully, please increase. 

[Embryo]

I'm not a member of your clan however I can see your idea with this suggestion.

 

I support the suggestion for increasing all clan chat limits, not just one clan and leaving it the standard for everyone else..

Feels bad not being able to get into the CC sometimes, lol. 

[Syntax]

obvious support, no reason for this to not be implemented 

[EIM Systemic]

I agree it should be implemented to all clans to avoid concern of favoritism, although I'm not aware of any other clans maxing out their capacity every day.

I'm asking if we can have the capacity of the 'ICE' clan chat increased to the same size as the server clans like 'alora' and 'help' which I believe is 200 members.

This is actually inaccurate, all clans including Help/Alora have a hard limit of 100 players. I wouldn't mind updating to 200 (for all clans), but it's not as simple as changing a number and there are some technicalities surrounding that change.

Without getting too technical... if we update the capacity to more than 127 players, I have to modify the packet that sends out the clan details to players. This doesn't sound like that big of a deal, but it means that the way your client must receive the packet has to change, and if somebody is playing on an old client (eg. ZIP client which is non-autoupdating), their client will crash when they join a clan.

This is obviously something we'd want to avoid, and after some quick brainstorming I found a way to possibly allow up to 200 players to join a cc without breaking clients, but I'd need to look into it more. Basically, if I can correctly identify whether or not someone is on an older client (pre-CC update), I can send the clan packet with only 100 players showing. More than 100 can be in the CC, but only up to 127 will show up on the list (hard limit with old packet). Anyone on a newer client, will, of course, see 200 members on their list.

If it works out safely, you'll see this in the next update :)
