What are your views about clans who reopen under the same name - should they? Shouldn't they? Depends. If it's the same leadership, same name is fine. I've always been for the new clan though as there's a reason it didn't work last time or just the simple fact that it won't be the same clan. So basically, in my opinon, it's all dependent on the situation. How would you react if, in the future, your current clan closed but then reopened? Being the founder of the clan, I'd advise against it but I wouldn't care too much. Have you seen any examples of clans reopening and being successful? Or opening under a different name and being successful? Many times. The clan I founded is based off a previous clan. And even then, that previous clan was successful when they reopened a few times. We were fortunate to have such a strong, loyal community and that's why it has worked for the community i'm involved in. This seems to be a common thread through "reborn" clans. Relating to the example popularly used in this topic, Shadow elves had a very strong community and it has overlapped into solace.
