Hi, maybe the idea of having more communities than only 2 is not new and it seems some people are already in more than 2 communities (I don't know why). But, I was thinking that it would be nice to be in more than 2 communities, some communities are very nice and I would like to participate them without leaving others I like. Communities are different than clans, so I don't think they should be so restricted as clans are (and must be).
I was thinking that many years have passed and many TUS groups are dead. Players don't join new communities or new clans because they still love their past clans/communities. For example, I would like to join Albus' new community for Intermediate fans (tips, guides and stuff) without needing to leave my own historical community called WoSC which is dead nowadays. I also don't want to leave Proof of Concept because it is a very nice community which is still alive, although less active than years ago.
So, what about this idea: TUS accounts should allow players to stay in as many dead clans or communities they want, but they have limits for active clans or active communities. This would allow people to join new groups while still keeping their accounts on their old favourite clans or communities that are dead. This would also give a good reason for people to mark a community or a clan as inactive.
About communities limit, I think 4 or 5 communities as limit would be great. If too many communities would pollute the players' profiles/avatars, maybe players could choose 2 or 3 to appear along their avatars and posts. Dead clans or dead communities would appear only if you "stalk" a user profile or on the dead group page. Or maybe people could sacrifice some active communities to keep their old clan on profile if the person really enjoys that group and wants this.
Another thing I thought is that maybe a player should be able to join any community it wants (no limit), but it would have to rank the communities by its preference or usage. This way the communities would still have some "weight", some would still be highlighted by players and people could participate and have access to all communities if they desire (and be accepted) while still highlighting the ones the player prefer or is more dedicated/specialized.
These are just some ideas.
EDIT: ah, maybe it would be interesting to see the history of past groups a player had, like player X was member of NNN clan from date Z to date Y, member of cfc clan from year V to year W, etc. Perhaps this is already possible to see, and I'm suggesting something that already exists and I was dumb enough to do not notice.
