One Opportunity to Change Clan Name

Hi everyone!

Well, to the point... We all know the Clan Name is the first impression we have about it, so that simple detail can simplify or complicate the member recruiting IMO.

So like title says, it is just a detail, one chance for all the leaders out there to change their clan name, it will not hurt anyone and since each clan has its unique ID I suppose it is not too complicated, this can be implemented just like player name change a few updates ago.

Before the "Clan Level Update" you just could make another clan and invite all members, simple. But now will be a shame to abandon for example... A level 6 clan and start again just because we don't like the original name; or because one of the below cases:

- May be a clan used to be an academy/sister with another clan (and leader named it like the other) but now they aren't sisters anymore.
- Or vice versa... Two or more clans want to do an alliance and choose one same name for their clans.
- There are some cases where the leader decides to give away their clan, but the new leader don't like the name.
- Perhaps the clan was named for some special reason/event but is no longer so special, or there is a special reason/event to change it.
- I have seen a lot of clans with a typo in its name and the leader want to fix it.
- Other case similar to this is when the name contains emojis and after a time they realize it doesn't looks cool.
-... Or just want to pick a different name for the clan, something more representative according to the clan specialization, a name more original or creative.

May be there are more good reasons to change a clan name. Can't see why this can't be implemented. It's not against the rules, it will not harm anyone.

So I hope explained this in the right way, pardon my english, my grammar isn't the best I guess.

Would like to hear what do you think about this feature guys :)

Greetings.

He is requesting for a clan name change, not a village name change.

I support for a one-time chance to change clan name.

The only issue I see with it is that other members may not agree with a change in the clan name, and now you have this conflict...

You have a point, but I think good leaders will take into account the opinions of their clanmates. This change became more a clan decision in case of well-established and united clans indeed.

Actually selling accounts is a lot more profitable in terms of time spent. Even with that ease isn't too normal see people selling accounts, I mean... Compared to the total amount of players. So, clan selling would be something very rare.

If you consider the millions of players worldwide, then you can claim some accuracy but not entirely. Accounts are sold online routinely with a pretty decent volume and frequency. Youd be surprised how many and how often this happens. SC will deny this fact, but there are entire auction venues and many multi-function auction venues and avenues upon which 10,000's of accounts are sold for 1,000s of dollars.
It is not very hard to find one. They are even sold on Ebay. They create an email account just for the clash account so how would SC ever know unless you or someone you know reported that you bought or sold the account and had some mannerism of proof to it? Other than having a screenshot of the account details and the auction site listing with the URL, you have no way to prove it.

But this could easily break apart clans that were intially well-established...

Good idea, the make up of a clan may change over time and maybe the clan may feel a more suitable name would be more appropriate.
Looking at some names out their I'm sure some players must wonder what they were thinking when they decided on them!!!!!
