I sent messages to all of the other clans in the realm to gather information for Boot members seeking out their next clan. Boot members must decide to remain in Boot as staff or leave by T3 R7. I will update this list as I receive information from the remaining clans that have not yet responded. This current list gives a good idea of active clans that responded right away.
- Use “claninfo” <clanname> to view clan leaders, number of members, tax rate, ranking names, whether or not the clan has a recall point, morgue, jail, donate room, etc., website (if available), and directions to clan hall.
- Use “clist” to determine whether the clan is listed as a PK or no-PK clan. PK clans tend to have closed equipment (gear not available to the public) and non-PK clans have to have gear open to the public.
- Use “who” <clanname> to get an idea for what members are active at any given time. Joining a smaller clan means you may have more of a voice in guiding the clan’s growth.
Amazon: No response to inquiry yet.
Bard: No response to inquiry yet.
Baal: Not open to post-Boot members until they have been in other clans and gained mastery in various aspects of the game. Only accepting of very experienced players in the game.
Chaos: Accepting of post-Boot members. No minimum requirement to join. Any Boot member of at least level 100 starts at 1st rank and, if faithful for a month in Chaos, gets a bump to 2nd rank. Any Boot member with at least one tier completed starts at 2nd rank. If you are leadership in Boot, you start at 3rd rank if you want to be leadership in Chaos; starting at 4th rank possible for good personality/leadership fits. PK-clan but not actively seeking PK. Generally PG clan chat. Looking for members who want to help newbies in Aardwolf grow. Clan skill allows members to change alignment to good or evil with a phrase and another that adds to stats.
Crimson: Accepting of post-Boot members. Requirements to join: T1. PK-orientated clan. Be prepared to assist with PK when in level range. Respectful clan chat (PG rated) with helpful communication.

Crusader: This is another newbie-helper clan like Boot. Joining requirements: Academy graduation and Level 15. Willing to consider bringing you in at a higher rank if you are of higher rank in Boot. R-rated clan chat at times. No-PK clan, though it is allowed to go OPK.

Druid: Accepting of post-Boot members. Requirements to join: R3 level 1, 10k qp. PK-clan. Clan chat generally friendly, though a little racy at times. No discrimination. Looking for members who like to play the game their own way, at their own speed. Not interested in turning people into power players. Interested in being friends who share, assist, and have a laugh with each other. Has a distinct theme (druids) but the theme is not enforced. Druid is an old clan with a lot of history and players who care about that history, but the clan is not wedded to it so much so that it is alienating for new members. “At Druid, we care about letting you be you and folding you into a group of pals who will enhance your game play without expecting you to be something that you’re not.”
Emerald: Accepting of Post-Boot members. Join requirements listed on website: http://emeraldknights.net/index/howtojoin/0-4. PK-clan. Emerald is one of the biggest clans on the MUD so they are often the targets of the “baddies”. Clantalk channel is a curse channel by default, but they pride themselves on having good manners most of the time. Future members should be seeking a family environment. Emerald members like helping people, enemy or not. If you have the same desires to provide assistance to those in need then you’ll fit in well. Emerald has the following things to offer: Ping pong, Game nights, Parental leave, Paid vacation leave… Wait that’s not right… Emerald is the “good” guys, has a fun ct channel, REALLY… We have Bamboo! We have 0 tax. We have the best drags in the game, and Emerald hosts events, such as the St. Patty’s day celebration of double xp for almost 5 hours and 1 billion in gold crumbles given away.
