Lineage 2

Anyway, here's a rundown on clan warfare in L2 that has been endorsed on some board by officials:

Clan War
Requirements:
-Only clans with skill level 3 or higher may declare war on another clan. Only clans with over five members may be challenged.
-Clan war cannot be declared on an allied clan. A clan that is currently involved in a clan war cannot declare war upon another clan until the first war has ended. However, the clan may accept war challenges from another clan.

Process:
-First, declare war on a desired opponent. The other clan leader must be in the game for war to be successfully declared. To declare war, use the Clan tab in the Action menu.
-The battle begins when the opposing clan accepts the challenge. If the opponent refuses, no battle occurs.

During a Clan War:
-The clan’s emblem appears above each character's head by default.
-You do not need to press the Ctrl key to attack an opposing clan member during war.
-Player killing (PK) is permissible between members of two different clans until the end of the war.
-Guards do not participate in wars between clans.
-Players killed in battle receive the same penalty as in a regular death.
-An individual may choose to surrender if placed in a dangerous situation in battle, even if the war itself has not ended. An individual that has chosen to surrender receives experience penalties equal to one death and does not have to go back to war. To surrender, use the Clan tab in the Action menu.
-A clan may not be dissolved during war.


Ending a War:
The war comes to an end when one of the following requirements is satisfied:

-The opposing clan leader is captured (death of the clan leader).
-The opposing clan surrenders (at least one or more members of the surrendering clan must be present in the game).
-One clan proposes a truce and the other accepts. The battle ends in a draw.
-All clan members, excluding the clan leader, have individually surrendered.
-Both sides fail to satisfy any of the victory conditions by midnight of the next day (in-game). The battle ends in a draw.

Regardless of the outcome, any clan that has declared war, or any clan that has accepted a declaration of war, cannot declare another war for five days.
If a clan surrenders, the clan leader receives experience penalties equal to one death.

Oh yeah and...

a few pointers:

us open beta starts early april

gear/skill > level

< lvl 20 = exp solo >>> xp grp
> lvl 20 = xp grp >>> xp solo

you loose less % of lvl per death the higher lvl you are

you loose significantly fewer xp if you die in clan war/siege (ie pvp). some 40+ koreans i know died 60 times in a 8hrs siege/clan war and didnt loose a lvl.

clan size can be max 40 ppl. 95% of clans never get to that stage. you must lvl your clan in order to get access to all full clan tools.

clan leader must sacrifice a TON of sp (skillpoints) to the clan to advance it and on the way gimp himself.

however, in return the gm of a lvl10 pledge (clan) gets to ride into battle on one mofo of a dragon. ridable mounts for high rank officers are planned/implemented in chronicals (their name for patches).
