Is it just me or does the clan that owns oren not show up in clan list under community information? I think its important that it actually shows who's the leader and how many people are in the clan.
I have PM:ed GMs about it but they wont do anything. Smells like some kind of cover up.
There is, apparently, some way not to be listed in the clan community. I'm not sure how to do it tho. I pm'd a gm about it once, since I was trying to make a clan and it said the name was in use, but not listed. Only clans level 3 or higher are listed in the clan community, but it would not surprise me that there is a way to pull a higher level clan out of the community. One of those lovely things we get to "discover" as part of the fun of Lineage 2 (i.e. a lack of documentation of game mechanics).
I've actually seen quite few clans lvl 2 and higher not listed in the community (have to be lvl 2 or higher) alot of people tend not to notice it cause they don't really pay attention to every tag that passes there eyes very few do but it's either a bug that they aren't listed (if it's done automatically when clan obtains lvl 2 status) or if they have yet to be notice by GMs (if they are entered into the directory manually, which I highly doubt)
absent minded is just a shell clan to hold Oren leaving catalyst the flexability of moving between castles to defend diffrent ones depending on who is signed to attack where.
I honestly think there should be a minimum member count to hold a castle, just like the clan wars. But that wouldn't make any diffrence since the shell clan would be filled up with lvl 1 alts.
