Hi,

I am a social player and am looking to join a Clan that would not mind teaching someone with a much lower level playing skill. And, preferably, a Clan that is based in Europe. Any suggestions on Clan (and unit) that I should join would be most welcome!

Thank you!

Hail kisakae!

I will let you know about Clan Ghost Bear. We are both North America and Europe based, with friendly ties to the German Clan Ghost Bear group. We have a dedicated Euro Trinary (group). We would gladly assist you in improving your skills. We are quite active in both the game and the community. Feel free to join our sibkos.

As a point of clarification, this particular section of the MWO forum (the general "Factions - Clans" section) is geared toward general discussion of the in-universe groups known as the Clans - which are not to be confused with the typical gaming "clan" (which most around here tend to refer to as a "unit").

For the latter (a gaming "clan"/unit/guild), you might wish to visit the individual Clan subfora (e.g. Clan Wolf, Clan Jade Falcon, Clan Ghost Bear, Clan Smoke Jaguar) as well as the recruitment sections of each Great House in the "Factions - Inner Sphere" section and the "Factions - Merc Corps" section.
If the former (a Clan, as the fictional organizations from the BattleTech/MechWarrior source material) is also a criterion for unit selection, do you have a particular affinity for any specific Clan?

Also, depending on where in Europe you are from, perhaps you might want to try the International subfora - which include French, German, Russian, Spanish, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Scandinavian, and Czech & Slovak (and Japanese, for the sake of completeness - even though Japan isn't in Europe).

I'm also Looking for a Clan. I'm semi new to the idea of a Clan, even though I kno about them from all the previous games but never really understood how they work or what benefits are involved with being in a clan. I really have no clue. But I feel left out, overwelmed with options and have no real clear path on which to chose. Im East coast US, a Dedicated player. 25 mechs and all the clan mechs and 2 gold skins on the way. Ive played mechwarrior for over 20 yrs, every version all the way. Also I dont have a wide friends network.

As an alternative to the more romantic notions of joining the main Clan units you may wish to consider looking at the Dark Caste which is the more nefarious outcasts of Clan soceity and elsewhere.

We are currently doing well in recruiting EU players though being a relatively new unit we are quite small but aspiring towards bigger and more profitable days. We are looking for pilots in all TZs however.

We also have good allied contacts with larger Merc groups to assist with social play options and linking into 12 man and 4 man social and organised learning.

Initiatives include:

• A two branched pathway with its structure, "The silk", that accommodates both the casual player and more organised team play.
  
• Both IS and Clan tech accommodated.
  
• Alternative Clan trial system that incorporates more social considerations.
  
• Orientation programme being currently tested to help prepare and train pilots for the Dark Born life.
  
• RIG system that helps pilots define builds and play various Mech roles to unified unit standards without prescribing Mech use for the organised teams.
  
• Codex system to record extra social, preference and pilots stats data.
  
• Upcoming loyalty and internal bartering system with chits. Which can allow with the accumulation of efforts and contributions to unit interests culminating in Ultimate Game Cards. It also allows for an internal social currency.
  
• Future further specialised training as ongoing content.

You could always check the Factions sections on the website to get a clear view of all the diffrent Clans around here, send of a few messages and play with them before you decide. Rushing a decision like this might come back and bite you when you are not enjoying the game anymore.

Good Luck and Have Fun

Many regards, Sergeant Major Spokig

is also a great place to talk to clans and just drop casually (even the ones not showing as active in that server are on their own but paying attention to PM's)

What the people above already said. A "Clan" in MWO (and Battletech in general) has a specific meaning:

A gaming "clan" (like the ones in Diablo, or the guilds in MMORPGs) is not the same thing.

[CyclonerM]

You may want to check Clan Wolf Alpha Galaxy , but the best option is jumping in the Strana Mechty TS to play with several units

Holy Kerensky, Ricecop, is this your first post ever?

But, yes. Skill can be learned with a little dedication. However, attitudes can rarely be changed.

[RiceCop]

On here, it might as well be!

[kisakae]

Thanks for the suggestions and invites! It's nice to see such a friendly and accomodating community. To be honest, I was trawling through the subfora but it was hard to differentiate between clusters that were: (a) in different regions; ( casual/competitive or both.

And, yes, I do mean Clan in very much a Mechwarrior sense rather than a gaming clan. Thanks for distinguishing it anyway!

I will submit an application to join a sibko soon.

Cheers!
