I will join a clan, but as I have said in other places, my job keeps me out of town for months on end so I won't ever be a clan leader. However I won't join a gaming community as I have been involved with those in the past and they seem to either dry up and go away (chapter wise, not the whole community) rather quickly, or someone that is 'high ranking' (lol I love this term when talking about guilds) will show up and screw up what is going on within the chapter. So no, I will join a faction guild dedicated to this game, IF the right one presents itself.
I and my friends would probably join one together and usually play side by side, but not have much to do with workings... just grunting around
how will guilds work? will they be more like 'social groups' and not specifically identified as 'clans/guilds'?
Guilds and clans might be just war bands so to speak or something even below that, we will see when it gets there. And yes join that is a given it is always more fun to play with others then by your self in these situations.
I think I'll join a clan since the only friend that I know for sure that will play will be an ork... But since I'll prefer to play with people from my country I think I will need some time to find an italian clan so I'll play solo for a while
I will not join a guild at the start, I think... First target is get some advanced armor/weapon, get some skills and only then I can join the guild, which will need my skills and my help. Anyway, with my 24/7 online time I think, i will be very usefull for any guild ^_^
I prefer to play together with Friends and Battle Brothers side by side,with same or different Chapters !! Joining a Clan or Community was never my style,but that does not mean i do not suport those actions ! If there is Chapter Masters,Veterans,Stendguards or more ranks like that in the Factions and chapters,i could find it muuuuch more atractive than joining Clans ! I preffer Hierarchy,grouping and a much more better Communication between us than Full clans and soo on ! My point of View !
