Hi there! For a bit of context, I’ve played quite a bit of Warframe so far. My main’s MR 21, got good toys, not a lvl. 999+ Endless Mode player, but I have a good bit of gear and research unlocked.
Most important of said resources is a Clan. I’ve founded it strictly for a Railjack and for the Clan specific research. It’s currently fully furbished with all available labs and lairs, Dry Dock, Navigation section, Trade Hub, basically everything that’s essential is there.
But now that I’ve unlocked most of the things which interested me, it basically serves as a very expensive Railjack garage and nothing more. So I was thinking I might breathe some life into it and make it available to more people who could use this stuff.
My idea would be that everyone would be set to Warlord by default, so equal authority and no bickering over roles. The ethos of the Clan is mainly as a safe space for anyone and everyone as long as they bring no hate toward others, and I want it to be a safety net for people, a space in which they can help eachother, form a community, play around with Clan builds, try their hand at decorations, get access to that section of toys, the works. A sort of Space Commune, if you will.
I’m really looking forward to any feedback, observations, input, or even an expression of interest, and I thank you for taking your time!
Hey, good to know there are other such initiatives out there, gives me hope! ❤️
And thank you for your insights, I’m really not all that familiar with how “things are done” around here in terms of Clan dynamics and such. Only ever had two, both made by myself, one with a couple of close friends, and this latest endeavor which was mostly a work of boredom, to be honest.
I’ve really been mulling this aspect of limitations around since yesterday and somehow I can’t gel role limits with the vision I had for this idea. I’d very much like to try going for a communal structure, let everyone be 100% equal (minus the odd man out who’ll guard the nuke, so to speak), and try to function based on consensus and empathy. I’m aware this opens it up to the potential of it all blowing up in my face, which is why I (and, hopefully, eventually we) will have to be a bit selective and mindful of newcomers, but I really don’t want it to feel oppressive, just cautious.
In the end, everything which is there will remain there, including any Platinum, research, or anything else. If someone deletes a room, the only thing lost would be the time needed to grind for resources. To be perfectly honest, I think I have enough stuff to rebuild half of the Dojo at this point, so I’m not too worried about that.
This is why I’d very much want to at least gather a core of like-minded people, as you’ve said, and handle the rest together. I don’t even think game experience would be a factor in this case.
I want people to have that feeling of walking into a busy Relay and seeing that crowd going about their day, with the added benefit of said space being theirs. I want people to have creative freedom to restructure the place, to decorate it, to make it theirs. I want this to be as participative as desired, but every major change would be discussed in public and approved via popular vote and based on needs (i.e. no deleting the Dry Dock if other people are grinding the content, but the request to do so will still be discussed and considered for a later date, etc.).
And, most importantly, I want people to feel safe there, to know that at least nobody’ll bother them. Introverts 100% welcome! Don’t know if this makes sense, maybe I need to refine the vision a bit first:))
Either way, thank you so much for your message, it really did put a lot of things into perspective!
