I don't see what would clans accomplish in this game. I plan to add friends, so you can keep in touch with you friends but I don't think guilds are necessary, I think they would be overkill
Ok... Someone I played with (forgot name...) had the idea (the ranks were mine) and I thought the game should get a real function for that before it will be as confusing as in everybody edits...
Vortex Wars rocks because it's a cool online game and not a bad remake of something like some other games I know...
