Do not get me wrong, there have been several merges which benefited both sides and created a successful clan. Violent Resolution is the best example of a successful merge, becoming a powerful clan that has now been alive and thriving for a long time.
However, many merges recent & in the past have not worked out.
This can be seen with Bears which was a merge of a few dead clans reopening into one that lasted less than a month.
But most recently, the ROT & SV merge is the perfect representation of most merges.
For those who do not know, Imsobeast closed his SV clan in order to merge his clan into ROT. Nevertheless, several SV members were hesitant to join ROT and therefore most of the SV applying to ROT (including Imsobeast) were declined due to the merge member cap not being reached.
This merge resulted in the death of SV and a strained relationship between longtime allies ROT+SV.
Video proof & SV members' view of the merge:
(Merge discussion begins at 2:05)
Therefore, I would like to ask my clan discussion peers the following questions:
Do you believe merges work in todays clan world?
What is necessary for a successful merge?
