Based on the following Blog Q&A and Yesterdays Announcement, are there particular
Merc Units,clans,guilds etc you all would like to see House Liao form relations with?
Anyone have any ideas as to how we can start to work on forming these relations?
Lets kick it around and see how creative and productive we can make this, and hopefully
by launch time we will be strides ahead of the pack.

A. When you first create your pilot, you are going to have to align yourself with one of the Great Houses in the BattleTech® Universe. Each house will have its benefits and drawbacks and it will be up to you to read up on the house selection menu on which house you will pledge your allegiance.
Q. Will players have the ability to form their own custom clans in MechWarrior® Online™?
A. We're trying to be careful with the naming of some features in MechWarrior® Online™ and "clans" is one of them. Players will be able to form their own customized Mercenary Corporations (Merc Corps for short). These operate in the same way that the term clan refers to in other first person shooters. A better way of thinking about Merc Corps is as a "guild". Within the guild you can create Lances("parties") and join matches in that manner.
Q. Will MechWarrior® Online™ have persistent character content such as leveling or upgrades?
A. Yes. One of the customizations in MechWarrior® Onine™ is to train your pilot to suit your play style. Pilots will bring their efficiencies to whatever BattleMech® they get in.
Q. Will MechWarrior® Online™ have any online persistency?
A. Yes, this is where our plan for the Inner Sphere comes into play. All players in Merc Corps will be fighting for control over various border planets. The state of these planets is persistent.
