Welcome

A clan member may leave a clan, but they will suffer penalties as a result.

• If a clan leader wants to kick a player from their clan, they can go into the Clan Window, click on the Actions > Clan tab, select the name of the player and click the "Dismiss" button. A member that is dismissed from the clan must wait one calendar day to join another clan, but can create a new clan immediately. When a member is dismissed from a clan, the clan must wait one calendar day to accept new members.
• If a player wants to leave a clan, they can go into the Clan Window, click on the Actions > Clan tab and click the "Leave" button. When a member leaves a clan, he/she may not join any other clan for one calendar day, but can create a new clan immediately. The clan leader can accept new members immediately.

If the clan leader withdraws from the clan, the clan is automatically dissolved and receives penalties.

It takes seven calendar days to dissolve a clan. Clan skills are restricted until the dissolution occurs, but clan chat and clan bulletin boards may still be used. A clan cannot be dissolved when involved in a clan war. Members who leave the clan during those seven days will still be unable to join any other clan for one calendar day, but once the clan is dissolved the members who remained can join other clans immediately.

A clan leader who dissolves his/her clan receives experience penalties comparable to one death and cannot create a new clan for another ten days. In addition, all the skills and fame that the clan possesses will be lost

The chart below describes the benefits a clan receives at each clan level.

Royal Guards

When a clan reaches level 6, a Royal Guard may be created. Upon creation of a Royal Guard, one of the clan members must be appointed an administrator. Up to 2 Royal Guards may be created. The maximum number of members in a Royal Guard is 20.

Order of Knights

When a clan reaches level 7, an Order of Knights may be created. Upon creation of an Order of Knights, one of the clan members must be appointed as an administrator. Up to 2 Orders of Knights may be created under one Royal Guard. The maximum number of members in an Order of Knights is 10.

Disbandment

Once created, Royal Guards and Orders of Knights cannot be dissolved unless the clan is dissolved.

When the administrator of each unit withdraws from their clan, the unit remains, and the administrator position becomes vacant. In this case, the clan leader must appoint a new administrator.

The reappointment of the unit administrator can be done through an NPC that is in charge of clan-related activities.

Organizational Structure

The organizational structure of the units are as follows:

Rights Within the Clan

• The clan name of the sub-unit should be the same as the clan.
• The clan crest and insignia should be also the same as the clan.
• Sub-units can use the same channel as the clan for clan chat and alliance chat.
• Sub-units can use the same clan hall, castle, and bulletin board as the clan. (However, if the clan leader changes the rights settings, this right may no longer apply.)

Sub-units can participate in a clan war and siege war under the same conditions as the clan.

Clans level 5 and above may create an Academy.

Any character, level 39 or below, who has not yet joined a clan and has not yet completed the second class transfer may join an Academy. The maximum number of members in an Academy is 20.

The clan leader can create an Academy through NPCs who are in charge of clan-related activities (a High Priest, Grand Master, etc.).

Benefits and Withdrawal of Academy Members

When an Academy member completes his/her second class transfer, the member will receive a commemorative item. The Grand Master NPC of the member’s own class will award the commemorative item automatically upon the completion of the second class transfer.

The member is then automatically withdrawn from the Academy, and will not receive a penalty for re-joining a clan.
