Description
All clans need a place to gather, and that is why most newly-formed clans set their sights on building their own clan hall in which members can congregate, learn, and play. A clan's hall should represent the individual nature of the clan and the tastes of those dwelling within it.
Each clan may have only one clan hall. As this clan hall increases in size, so does the maximum number of members of the clan.
Once a clan hall is available to a clan, clan members may use the CLAN GOHALL command to immediately teleport themselves from wherever they are in Alyria back to the clan hall. The effective range of this is about 750 rooms from the entrance of the clan hall. Anything else will be considered "cross zone", including alternate planes and transportation from the Great Alyrian Underground. See HELP CLANS for more information.
Choosing Your Clan Hall Location
Empty clan halls are located randomly within the wilderness of Alyria. Like homes, there are a limited number of locations where new clan halls are allowed to be opened. As these spots change often, be sure to email admin@materiamagica.com and query about the current available locations. There is no guarantee that their clan will be placed where they want it, but the Game Services team will make every effort.
Member Limits
The maximum number of members a clan can have is determined by the size of the hall. The base amount is 28 members; 1 additional member slot is added for every 2 rooms past 5; alternately, Maximum members = 28 + (#rooms - 5) / 2
Changing Clan Type
You may ONLY change your clan type during a hall upgrade. As this is a substantial restructure of your clan, you are encouraged to not take this decision lightly. The fee for changing your clan type is 5,000 clan gemstones.
Editing And Expanding Your Clan Hall
This is now done via the BUILD system. Maleficarum roots, or clan gem- stones are converted directly into Building Points when a change is made, at a ratio of 1 gemstone to 6 Building Points. For more information, type HELP BUILD.
Furniture
Furniture for your clan hall can be purchased from Gaston's shop in Lowangen, on Dargon Walk. You can obtain generic furniture to be ON/IN/ AT, save-location item chests and other utilities such as a one-week reagent vendor, one-week test dummy and more!
Rooms
Clan hall rooms are considered part of the world of Materia Magica and therefore must follow some basic guidelines. Rooms must have from 5-15 lines of description. The description must not contain anachronistic references and must be "in character" with the rest of the game. Room names and descriptions cannot contain color codes.
Extended Room Keywords And Descriptions
Rooms may have extended keywords attached to descriptions added to them. These extended keywords can be used to further elaborate on an item mentioned in the room's description. For instance, if you have described a table in the room description but do not want to put an actual table in the room (as a piece of furniture), you may add a keyword such as "table" attached to a description for that table. If someone were to LOOK TABLE, they would then see the description for the table that you provided. Extended descriptions may not have color codes in them and must be from 3-20 lines long. This can be done via the BUILD system.
Room Attributes, Class I
Rooms come with no attributes by default, save that they are INDOORS.
dark - people need a light to see in the room safe - no one may attack or use offensive magics in the room outdoors - room is set as "outdoors" meaning you can see weather
