Clans

A clan is an organized group of players who choose to participate in group events. In the context of Arcanists, clans are often cliques, or large friend groups that enjoy playing games of Arcanists with each other.
In order to create a clan, an individual who wishes to do so must contact a @Mark of Server Mod, either in-game or within the official Arcanists 2 discord with two pieces of information: An abbreivation for their clan which has 5 letters or less, and 2 additional people alongside them who are willing to form the clan. Additionally, if a clan falls below 3 members, it is automatically disbanded.
==Clan Features==
Clan chat is a feature for each clan, which allows clanmates to chat with each other in-game privately. In order to do so, a member of a clan must press the dot/period key before typing their message.
Clans may also assign rankings to each member. There are five rankings that may be assigned (in order of hierarchy): Inactive, Member, Veteran, Officer, Advisor, Leader. Members who have a ranking of officer or higher may invite people to the clan, while members who have a ranking of advisor or higher have the abilities to change the rankings of other members of the clan, as well as kick members from the clan.
Some clans have their own unique, exclusive costumes. Generally speaking, only larger clans have full costumes. In order to be granted a costume, a clan must firstly, consist of a lot of active players, and secondly, send a request to the art team to make their costume. For clans that have their own costumes, all members within that clan may access their costume and equip it in the character creation screen. An easy way to see which costume is the clan outfit, is to check the "clan" filter within the character creation screen.
In addition to the above, some of the largest clans may also hold in-house Tournaments, in which members of the clan face off for prizes. Note that as these are hosted by clans, these tournaments are not sanctioned by the Arcanists 2 tournament organizers, and are not subject to the rules stated in the official Arcanists 2 discord.
