Most of acronyms used during online gaming are common for all the communities and are available in the article called “List of Internet slang phrases” on Wikipedia. Please note that using AOL speak or net speak ("dats wen u talk liek dat LOL") gives you away as a newbie in the Internet or just immature.
Editor's Note: The following is an archive of old KB pages which may no longer be relevant.
To put the question simply, a clan is a group/society of people who fight together. The clan may have different beliefs of how to fight also. Almost any game has a society of clans, whether supported by the game or not. Some games (unlike Deus Ex) have features such as "clan search" and "quick join clans". Unlike in other games, Deus Ex clans sometimes also make maps and mods, besides fighting. A clan gives you an ability to participate in planned games such as trainings and clanwars, learn some in-game tricks and significantly improve.
You may see the list of active clans on our " Links" page.
A clanwar is a planned battle between clans. Planned games are nothing like normal games, because usually you play against a solid team of experienced players who also actively cooperate, and you won't be able to get "easy kills" of newbie players anymore. Team work is an important aspect of any clanwar. A weaker clan can always defeat the stronger one if there is a strong teamwork aspect in it.
Usually clanwars are declared on the forums. To organise a clanwar you have to:
Clanwars are not easy to organise, yet they're fun to play. The more players participate, the harder it is to organise the war, and the enjoyable the clanwar is. Keep in mind that it's considered a bad form to insult members of opponent clan after the war ended. There is a place for sportsmanship, not for immature behaviour. The results vary — don't take them close to your heart. Sometimes a clan loses to another because of a server location (see " factors worsening your gameplay" article), or because the server hoster plays. When a server hoster plays on his or her server, the server will give him or her a big advantage and increase ping disadvantage to other players.
Ideal clanwar
It's risky when a player records a demorec by him- or herself because recording may decrease FPS and result in GPF (game
crash). Therefore recordings of wars are usually done by such "neutral administrators".
