A clan in Darkfall is a group of generally like-minded players who have banded together, usually through the official clan system in game, to complete common goals, such as battling together, having strength in numbers, starting and keeping a city, role playing alike, as well as combinations of these and other goals.
Types of Clans[]
Clans are usually classified into one of several classes, or often a combination of them, though there is technically no systematic difference in game. One should bear in mind that many clans will be a mix of these classifications rather than being able to be simply classified as a single type.
Player Versus Player (PvP)[]
Main article: PvP Clans
PvP guilds are focused on killing other players, whether for fun or for loot.
Player Killer (PK)[]
Main article: PK Clans
PK guilds are focused on killing other players, often whether they are innocent or murderers themselves. Generally, they have no reservations about the types of victims they will be murdering, and some PK guilds even kill members of their own race or faction, unless they're in the same clan.
Anti-Player Killer (Anti-PK)[]
Main article: Anti-PK Clans
Anti-PK clans are focused on killing flagged murderers, sometimes even taking a chivalrous position, defending the innocent who are antagonized and killed by PKers. Often, however, Anti-PK guilds merely kill PKers because they are targets that can be dispatched without losing good standing with their race or faction and becoming PKers themselves.
Mercenary[]
Main article: Mercenary Clans
Mercenary clans are groups of people that are for hire, either as an entire clan or as individuals. These clans or individuals can be contracted by other entities for a variety of purposes, ranging from attacking an enemy stronghold, or guarding a city for that entity.
Player Versus Environment (PvE)[]
Main article: PvE Clans
PvE guilds are focused on killing Non-Player-Characters, (NPCS), for fun or for loot.
Role Playing Guilds[]
Main article: RP Clans
Role play guilds are focused on role playing their characters with other role players and often non-role players.
