incrdbil Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Re: The Clown Guild - The First Clan for the new MMO Ok, since playing villains might not be an option for a while, how about creating a supergroup especially aimed at HERO players, especially those on the boards here Anyone have an idea for a satisfactory inspiration, group name that we can promulgate to others?

mojo_bones Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Re: The Clown Guild - The First Clan for the new MMO Actually that would work fine for me, as Heckler was originally a good guy (well mostly) in a Champions game.

Lord Mhoram Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Re: The Clown Guild - The First Clan for the new MMO A question from someone who has never played an MMO - What exactly is a guild - is it just a group of people who link up online, are there things in the game to support it, or what exactly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GamePhil Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Re: The Clown Guild - The First Clan for the new MMO Depends on the game to some extent. Everquest II and World of Warcraft, they are primarily ways of getting a chat room together and a way to get a form of group storage. I believe that the EQII guilds also have some options that make the guild members more powerful in various ways, but I don't remember the details (you can also get a group home, but you can do that without the guild, it just makes it easier). in City of X, you get a superX base to operate out of, and the more members you have, and the more active they are, the more you get to build up the base, which can likewise include storage and a number of other features. I imagine CO will also have some kind of base for teams, but may start out with them just having a chat channel (or Secret Communicator, if you prefer). Actually, that's kind of cool. Hope they have a graphic for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a variety of reasons (not the least of which that they were presented in such a way as to be quite annoying during a game), they were written out in 5th Edition's continuity. It seems unlikely that they're being run by the same people (if anyone could be considered to run C.L.O.W.N.), though for all I know the group in UO may have been inspired by Champions.
