Banner System

There are 147 new banner slots which are only available through the website for clans. Because there is only a limited amount available the right to use them is sold through auctions (new auctions are currently added at a faster rate than normally). To keep your right to use an exclusive banner you need to win such an auction every 30 days.

Once you own an exclusive banner the clan leader (anyone with rank 10) can upload the banner image on the website. They are automatically updated by the launcher. All clan members are balanced using this exclusive banner no one else is able to use.

09:09 <Vibe> chadz, what's the cost of renewal
09:09 <Vibe> for banner slot
09:09 <chadz> you have to bid again
09:10 <chadz> although it doesn't really matter if you get the same or another banner

We might establish some rules about.. aesthetics

What's definately a no go is porn, racism, crap like that.
(*edit*disclaimer: i don't think porn is crap, but there are several laws in place that can get us in trouble if we don't forbid it)

If you upload a banner like that you will probably get banned for a long, long time.

it's not really intended to be a money sink. There are 147 additional banners available, so they are limited. The fairest way to decide who is by using the auction system. If everything works, one new banner auction pops up per hour until all are filled.

Ok so I have a few questions about the new banner system. It seems like a good idea but there are just a few concerns about the implementation at the moment.

Is there any regulation?
Whilst my banner pack could be loose on its regulation it at least had some restrictions. This system could mean people could scribble in paint and then upload a banner. There's also nothing to stop offensive banners. I am pretty sure most of us would at least like some level of quality as there was at least an option between mine and draggon's banner packs previously.

Auctioning them off. Is it the best way?
Why pay out a huge chunk of money to keep a slot? I know there are lots of them but at the moment a bunch of them are going for 100k. Seems like this may disadvantage newer clans if they have to fork out. I seriously disapprove of having to make a payment for this although I see the advantage of having to 'renew' it as that will filter out disbanded clans, but even that shouldn't involve payment.

If a slot is freed up is it automatically re-added to the auction immediately?

Do heraldic backgrounds change in game with each new banner that is updated?

I think that's most of my questions about this system. Nice to see you can join different clans with different alts. Something I was hoping would be in  :)

He better not think porn is crap!

But yeah, Porn and Racism. Don't see any other reasons to limit it.


But i bet LARPing ''ZOMG STAY TO MEDIEVAL THEME RP!'' (Nerdface.jpg) will rage when someone gets a MLP banner though.

It's what I dislike about this. I would prefer just having the banner packs. That way I get to opt out of the shitty banners.

I'm just disappointed that I can no longer play with my RL friends if the balance is done according to the auctioned ones.

There are near 100 clans in my banner pack (the majority of which are active). I imagine a few more will crop up with this once alts can join/create clans in ladders and auction for a banner. Hopefully 147 will be enough.

I hope there is a restriction for new clans/oneman factions so they don't get a banner slot automaticly.

Same reason why we got banner balance in the first place.

Tbh banner crutching/leeching was fucking rampant in the last month(s), everyone on Byzantium banner. This change was much needed.
