Clan brackets and rankings

This idea came up in another thread. Reference:

viewtopic.php?f=14&t=4784

Idea: Clans are given a "rating number". The basic idea of this number would be the sum of all member levels, and all building levels.

From here, several things are possible:

Clan brackets: they can be called different things, but for example: peewee, junior, intermediate, senior, dominate. (rushed names, better ones needed).

You would fall into a bracket depending on your clan rating, and can only fight clans in your division, and maybe the first few in line of the next division. Normal PvP rules could still apply to other divisions, meaning you could attack higher levels, but highers could not initiate.

The reasoning for this would be to add a little bit of level restriction to clan warfare. Its upsetting to players when they get killed by players more than 10x their better.

Clan Rankings: this would also be the basis of a clan ranking system. Many players have asked for it.

I believe a clan ranking system would encourage more competitive play, add excitement to the game, encourage teamwork and give some players a goal to strive for.

For this ranking, it may be considered to add clan gold into the calculation... but IMO it should be worth a lot less "points" than a building of the same value. Greater risk = Greater reward.

(like I said, they need better, medieval names.. perhaps I will search for some later. These are sports divisions I used as an example)

I would like to add, that if a non-PvP type clan is ever added, it would not be included in this ranking.. perhaps it could have a separate ranking?

Please dont mess with open world pvp. That would ruin the games magic, i like killing who i can n having to run from those i cant. If people dont want pvp start crafting guilds that r clan but non pvp with regular rules apply 3lvl margin. But dont tamper with pvp please. If u dislike pvp drop your clan n use friendlist to chat
