Hey everyone,

So, this video says we could expect the clans late summer 2013 if I had understood it correctly.

Now we just sit back and watch it happen. At-least we have the "about when."

I bid Spring 2014 based on prior PGI performance with respect to the Open Beta availability.

You should know better than to take PGI at their word.

He's just saying "clans" which could also mean "guilds", not neccessarily "The Clans" in particular.
If you look upon how far they got in the past half year since they went into Open Beta, they'd have a tough job to do implementing both Community Warfare and ClanTech (properly balanced).
Yap: (*Late Summer! concentrate, Bryan, you can do this! Feel the Force!*) late Sept..., err... SUMMER! Sorry! (*Oh, NOOOOOOOOOES!*)
Another funny thing about Bryan everytime I see him and this pranks he call his hands: I wonder if he uses a standard sized keyboard?

Player Created groups and Merc Units are Phase 1. "Introduction of the Clans and other story lines" are Phase 3

Didn't he say full release of MWO should be sometime towards late summer? That would make clans announce around Autumn, actual release is another story...

Actually just the opposite. They said they wanted Clans implemented AT launch, so most likely whenever the game launches is whenever we'll see Clans. Since they said June/July for first phase and phase 3 is Clans, I'm assuming August because that is "late summer" and also according to timeline. Somone also asked in Ask The Devs 34 if there's any plans for a roll back on the timeline and they said no soooo *shrugs* guess we'll wait and see what really happens.

Hard date for late summer is September 21. It's the last day of summer, September 22nd is the first day of fall. So, we'll have launch and clans before September 21.

I accept your bid, you've been right so many times before I have nothing to lose

He didn't say "the"!

"... and then phase three is the introduction of clans and further storylines after launch..."
And as long as theese guys don't exactly know what they're doing I take whatever announcement they make as if they even don't exactly know what they're talking about, too!

It doesn't change the fact that during the entire interview, he was referring to Player-made groups as "Merc Units" or "Faction Units" and that they would be in Phase 1.

So we can draw some lines with crayon, and safety assess that Phase 3 (Story Lines) = Clans

Factions aren't Player-made Groups! Merc Corps are. But for peace's sake, you're right, he might meant Clans! (Don't make it too easy for them, If they still getting bashed they'll probably go better prepared into theese interviews in the future! )

I'd like to see Clans as early as possible, but I also want the Clans to be done right. ... it makes me a Sad Panda to wait 4 more months, but it's the hand we've been dealt.

Preparation, yes. They need to get their MW buzz words right - a bit of lingo that not a few of the forum readers would do well to learn too. PGI would do well to always refer to "the" Clans as "Kerensky's Clans" to avoid confusion with the more general gaming term "clan." And for the rest of us who don't like to type that much, maybe use KClan.

[Syllogy]

Clans are Clans.

Player Groups should be referred to a Guilds, Merc Units, Faction Units, etc.

Bargained well and done!

And he never said what year that "summer" was in....

I'm in the southern hemisphere and even I know there is no such thing as Summer in September. I'd say August will be our dead-line as the invasion will have pretty much taken hold by then...

For PGI to hold out even that long is an insult amongst all Clanners however sadly, no trial of possession will resolve this.
