CHANGES IN CLAN SYSTEM
- Captured lands will give clan experience every day, which is determined by maximum level of monsters in these lands.
- New term introduced – Authority. Authority is used to determine the alliance's place in Alliance rating. Authority is calculated by adding authority of the clans in it. Authority of the clan increases when clan receives battle experience, and reduces when it is lost. Authority of the clan will also be halved if the clan declines a war, or surrenders.
- To declare war, the Authority of the clan must be at least 500; the authority of the clan cannot be negative; the authority of the clan will regenerate every day to 500.
- Clan experience can be received for the following: winning in a clan war, mentor activities, and owning lands. Clan experience is lost if the member of a clan is killed by a member of another clan, who is at war with the first clan.

It`s time for good news. Effects.
You no longer have to worry about the effects, if you were absent for a long time, or logged off the game, forgetting to extend a duration time.
Effects will not disappear while your character is offline (it takes 15 to 20 minutes for your character to go offline after you logged out). If the effect time run out while you were offline, then 5 minutes will be added to the duration when you log on next time.
Example. You have logged off , when you had 60 minutes left of your Gene of Power [20], you were absent for few days, then came back. You will receive 5 minutes to your gene time, so you have enough time to extend it`s duration.
