In general, a clan leader will have fairly broad control over their clan, and has the power to promote other members, demote members, or disband the clan if they choose!
System Disbanded Clans
While clans will generally persist until disbanded manually, sometimes situations will occur wherein a leader and all active members simply stop playing. To avoid situations where these clan names are held forever, we have a system in the game to help clean up inactivite clan, this allows the name and tags to go back into rotation and frees up space in realm and database to help keep the game efficient.
The timing of the mechanic varies, and it is not set in stone. The range for dropping clan members down rank and kicking members without a role/rank will depend on the account's progression, spend, and some other metrics. Ths timeframe can range from can be as little as a few days of consecutive inactivity to longer timeframes up to few months before rank gets auto dropped or a memver is kicked from clan.
Clan leaders (owner) will also be part of this mechanic, so be careful if your are using an account to keep a clan active. Make sure to login every few days to stay on the safe side, in particular if the account is a lower level placeholder.
Warning - our system does not have the option to restore system disbanded clans. If a clan is disbanded due to inactivity, it is NOT retrievable and all progress and resources collected will be lost permanently.
