For puipls who level, thier mentors will recieve bonus points. Each Monday the 5 best mentors of the server will get prizes (+25%, +20%, +15%, +10%, +5% to health and mana). Prizes have 7 day duration, after the top five have been decided the rest of the mentors points will be resetted. All members of the clan, whom ever get most mentor bonus points ( summ of all clan member mentor points), gets a prize of +5% to health and mana.

If clan declines a war, attacking clan cant declare war on the same clan in 14 days. Tho, the clan, who declined the war can declare war on the attacker anytime. If clan doesnt own any land, it will cost 250 clan exp for the sieging one, each next land will cost 20% more (ec. 250, 300, 360, 432 ...). They will still need 500 clan exp to be able to siege a land. In sieges where two clans take part, on the flag spot only members of these clans are able to fight. Religion players from other clans, cannot attack your members for religion exp. No other fighting will be allowed on the flag square either from other players. In sieges against monsters, on the flag spot only members of attacking or defending clan are able to fight. Fights between players at the area are available if clans are at war. A Clan who own's a land will get 1 of 20 dropped items ( 80% in gold of item cost) from mobs at this land as additional reward.

Religion conflict range has been changed. Use "Examine" to see your religion conflict range. Religion exp being gained and lost even if opponents dont fit your religion conflict range. 0-lvl religion players can gain religion exp only from 0-lvl religion players. Players with 1-lvl and higher religion lvl can fight in chaos zone only according to new religion conflict range (exceptions are clan wars and outlaws). For players without religion and players with 0-lvl religion old chaos zone lvl range applyes.
