Just got this mad idea.
What if we had a XP quest like initial quests, that would give XP if you joined the Academy.
This would give veterans players a reason to join the Academy. And since they cannot escape it before joining a new clan they can aid any newbie that comes along.
Quite ingenious and devilish.
The academy guard could be the one to give the Quest / Xp.
uhm. I was supposed to be in the academy when I help newbies? Damn.
You dind't get the Memo?
Not a bad idea TBH
I like it.
I have always thought we needed this.
Questor
Joined the clan of (insert clan here)
Been accepted by the (insert cabal here)
So Kudos Mya. You get my vote.
What stops people from just joining Academy and then another clan straight away?

Nothing, but if it doesn't aid us in PK, we usually forget about it 
Now on a more serious note, I like Mya's suggestion.
Nothing
In that case, the exp should probably be received at either the M or V rank in Academy.
The 30 000 gold cost that you have to pay to join a Clan.
Gathering that kind of gold when you are still buying weapons, head barrel, stuff in the Hamlet means that I normally only have that free cash as 20-30.
I also leave clans for 50. It's pain doing guild quests and having the Clan one pop up and ruin your almost accomplished one.
Also, I was thinking of some low XP 1000-1500, not something really big.

Wait, you have to pay 30k to join the academy?!
She was talking about other clans, so you're in teh academy till you save up the cash for the other one.
Ah.. I'll tell you now, I wouldnt bother waiting to get M in academy if it was for 1000exp 
i'd just go kill 4 oozes and be done with it.
Maybe we could put a timer on it that doesnt leave when you die? The clan guards you apply/pay for reject you until x amount of time has passed:
The cartel clan guard sneers in your face; "Think we'll take someone willing to switch sides so quickly?"
The cartel clan guard throws your money pouch back in your face MAIMING you and pushes you from the doorway.
You have been pushed north.
No, but you would join right out of the arena if it granted you 1000 xp just by typing "Say Join".
