    Since I started my clan I have PMed (Personal messaged) my clan moderators to touch base and list ideas that could benefit the clan.
    Since the current Multiplayer Servers website only lets you PM only five players at a time I can not include all the moderators which hurts the communication of the clan.
    (Abbreviation for Clan Personal Message - CPM)

    How to start a clan PM? = when you go to start a normal "conversation" you will be prompted to make a "Clan conversation".
    EX; ClanConvo.PNG & ClanConvo2.PNG

    How this would benefit? = Clan owners can pool the knowledge of clan moderators to better the clan.

    What if you Clan PM a nonclan member? = If someone tries to CPM someone that is not in their clan an error message will prompt them stating "Error: This member is not in clan."

    How would the website know that people are in the same clan? = For members that register on Multiplayer Servers their profile page will automatically display their current clan name.
    EX; ClanConvo3.PNG

    As far as I can tell there would be no down sides to having Clan PMs.


    As I said before this would be very beneficial and think Should be added to Multiplayer Servers in the near future or included into the major update that will be coming out.
    If we can get a lot of support backing this up I feel that this can and will be added.

    Erm... Skype. That's what everyone uses. Looks like a lot of work for nearly nothing. We don't even have the leaderboards up yet, and you expect something of this complexity?

    I do not use skype and if this is added more players could be inclined to add input to Multiplayer Servers.

    How does this make more people be inclined to add input? If you don't use skype, that's your choice, but I'm saying that there's already an easy way to do it.

    -/clan chat
    To turn on the clan chat. Do it again to turn it off.

    If you send a message while it's on, only clan members will see it.

    If clans use the forum to talk they are more likely to view and add to threads on the forum.

    This is meant for the forum PMs not in-game.
    This is just to touch base with all the clan and have the message stay (So clan members can check and see what the topics and thought of the clan are.) unlike in-game were you can only talk to players in that very moment in time.
    So you can pool the thoughts and ideas instead of trying to come up with them again an again.

    There is honestly no need for this. It'd just be another idea we'd have to juggle.
    Skype is much easier to use anyways.

    Not every one can have Skype, want Skype, or allowed to use Skype.
    Plus with Skype you can not go back and view what the clan is saying once that moment is passed there is no going back to revise.

    Actually, you can. By using the chat in Skype, you can easily look back to see the history.
    Trust me, this is what the staff uses and it'll work fine for a clan.

    Does not hurt to add.
    I see your points though.

    If you have a mic on your PC, you can download Skype. It's free and it came with my computer.

    It does, the web devs haven't even done the leaderboards yet, do you want to set that back farther for clan chat?

    I understand how Skype works.

    No the admins should prioritize what would benefit the website first. Making a connection to leader boards and clan chat does not seem to be an equitable comparison.

    No, for group voice calls, nobody has to have premium. Plus, if you miss something on Skype, just ask them to repeat it and whatnot.
