An idea

[Drako]

So, im thinking of re-building Clanwarriors, or something of the alike.

 

For those of you who weren't around during that era, Clanwarriors was a neutral server where anyone could recruit and start a clan, they had a website where newly formed clans could have there own sub-forum and basically provided a platform for new clans to jump off from.

 

Due to the decline of new clans surviving lately, i think this would help rectify the issue.

 

So far the plan is to have some of the bigger clans support the project (EK, JAWA etc) with the goal of making it entirely self sufficient.  The involved clans will still watch over the project, help out new clans when needed etc, but in general to keep the project neutral we'l try to limit our involvement.

 

Anyway, id like to hear your guys opinions on this.

Interesting idea. Might as well try. I'm not sure how many new clans are forming in this day and age, I can't imagine it being very many, but heck, why not.

if you gave new clans free servers they might stick around longer...

Free is free but their is always a catch.

Someone has got to pay for it somehow.

An interesting idea. We need more servers where the jk community can come together, but also branch off into many clans so that the entire community isn't just gathered in one place, that's how communities die...I think.

The problem is, new clans get there own server, but dont have traffic (some exceptions to this of course), so end up dying out before they get anywhere.

 

Giving them a place to play and get sorted before branching off would do them a world of good.

I actually thought of seeing if we could do this. Like we have Mod Project Forums, offer Clan Forums.

who's going to deal with clans fighting others in the server? trolling and the usual lamers against anti-lamers etc

[Onysfx]

xD. That's part of the fun. Of course I suppose it wont be too much fun when real threats are formed, and DDOSERS and what not. 

 

But to be quite honest, I don't think the jka community is THAT BAD.

Imho jka is not the best place to start a community...at least not for a longer period of time. Lamers keep the traffic going, it's the script-kiddies what's making the game more and more dead (and easy credits on lmd). There aren't that many new people around. BUT it also depends what kind of community you wish to have. If you make a strong step forward and gather all the trolls and ddosers then yeah, suit yourself. Not sure if the server of that kind is a good idea...most likely it would just gather random people who'd play together, even not as a clan. BUT IF and IF it had proper advertising and the msg was clear as to what it's all about then who knows...

Funnily enough, this was something being considered for JKhub during its creation, but it took a back bench due to our lifes taking over etc.

The plan is to have admins and such supplied from participating clans for a while, until admins can be gathered from the people who play there.

This is why JKHub exists lol.
