Every wolf hunts in a pack eventually, and on WolfTeam Legacy the pack has an official name: a Pride. A Pride is the game's take on a classic clan — one founder, a member roster, an introduction, a notice board and a shared place on the site's public pages. The rankings guide already walked through the public standings; this one covers the other half, the part that happens inside the game: how a Pride is founded, how you join one, and what a founder can and cannot do.

Two ground rules frame everything. First, one account belongs to at most one Pride — the roster is exclusive, and the server enforces that in the database itself, not just in the interface. Second, joining costs nothing. Founding is what costs: Gold, and the match time to earn it.

Founding a Pride

The founding rules are enforced server-side, so they are identical for everyone:

- The fee is 30,000 Gold, charged in the same moment the Pride is created. It is earned currency — the same Gold you win in eligible matches and spend in the shop. - Your account must reach level 10. That is the top step of the Corporal tier (Onbaşı on the Turkish ladder), exactly one promotion before Sergeant (Çavuş). The progression page on the website always shows how many GP you still need. - The name must be 4 to 16 characters, and no two Prides may share a name. The check ignores letter case, so founding WOLFPACK blocks any later wolfpack. - A short introduction of up to 127 characters can be included at founding. - You cannot already belong to another Pride.

Creation runs as a single transaction: if any rule fails, nothing changes and no Gold leaves your account. When it succeeds, your Gold counter refreshes immediately, you become the Pride Master, and the client sends you to the Manage tab to polish your introduction.

Finding and joining a Pride

The lobby's Pride window lists every Pride, ten per page, with two search fields: one for the Pride's name and one for its founder's callsign. The website mirrors the same records in the browser, so you can scout names before you even log in.

Applying happens from that list, and joining is free — no fee, no rank requirement. Your application lands on the founder's waiting list; if the master is online, the waiting list refreshes on their screen the moment you apply. The master either accepts or rejects, and either way the application is consumed. Accepted, you are a full member from that moment. Changed your mind before the decision? Cancel the application any time.

Running the pack

Pride Master is a role with exactly one occupant, and the Manage tab is the toolbox. Two short texts represent the Pride wherever it appears — the introduction and the notice — each limited to 127 characters, and only the master edits them. The master can remove members from the roster, with one guard: the founder cannot be kicked. When it is time to hand over the keys, the master can transfer leadership to any member; the old master becomes a regular member, so there is always precisely one master. Roster changes and new notepad entries are pushed live to every member who is online.

The clan notepad

Beyond the notice, every Pride carries a shared notepad. Any member can post a note of up to 127 characters, the latest hundred notes are kept, and a note can be deleted by its own author or by the master. It is the right place for practice times, house rules and small messages that would get lost in chat.

Leaving, closing and the seven-day window

A regular member can walk away at any time — one click, no permission needed. The master cannot. While other members remain on the roster, the server rejects the founder's attempt to leave. There are two ways out: transfer the authority to a member and then leave, or close the Pride. If the founder truly is alone, leaving deletes the Pride on the spot.

Closing is deliberate and reversible. Confirming the close deletes nothing: the Pride enters a seven-day waiting period in which no new applications are accepted, and the founder — still a member — cannot found or join another Pride inside that window. A change of heart cancels the close completely and returns everything to normal. If the seven days pass, the server removes the Pride for good, cleans up the roster, applications and notes automatically, and any member online at that minute sees a farewell notice.

Pride points, honestly

The public standings promise a competition: Pride points first, wins second. The scoring design is real on the server — a recorded Pride battle adds three points to the winning Pride and takes one from the losing one, and the in-game list sorts by those points, founding order breaking ties. One honest caveat as of this writing: Pride battles are not yet recorded from live matches, so every Pride's points start at zero and stay there for now, and the list follows founding order. Everything else — the directory, the rosters, the fee, the notepad, the seven-day window — works today. The battle ledger lights up when match recording catches up; until then the standings measure founding ambition, not conquests.

Why the 30,000 Gold gate is good design

WolfTeam Legacy sells nothing — no currency, no boosts, no shortcuts — so a founding fee is a wall of earned Gold by construction. A new account's starting Gold covers weapons, not a clan treasury; saving 30,000 means playing real, eligible matches for a while. That is the point. By the time someone can afford a banner, the leaderboard already knows their name. Earn the Gold, pick a name nobody has taken, and found the pack the directory has been waiting for.
