Latest news update from DeeJ focuses on launch day!

This week's update from Bungie (DeeJ to be specific) has brought light to some important information for when the game launches in less than two weeks. While you can check out the post in full in the main forum, here's what I gathered that I believed should be pointed out individually. [quote]Clan members will need to reaffirm their allegiance after September 9th. We’re not breaking up Clans – just severing their ties to the Beta. Once Destiny launches, your ranks will need to reset a Group as their Clan. Oaths you have taken will be taken again.[/quote] This is KEY for every member of the clan - while you will remain a part of the group, you will have to Re-sign your account to the clan itself. Don't forget to do that!! [quote]Retailers will stick to time-zones. Our servers won’t know the difference. Retailers will break street date. Our servers won’t.[/quote] Basically the Destiny servers will not be online until September 9th. The servers won't care what timezone, but as soon as one zone switches to 9/9, their servers will be up and running. There will only be priority because of the time differences. [quote]Destiny will serve up achievements that only Clans will be able to claim.[/quote] Keep that in mind!! [quote]{Trading occurs} Only with your enemies. Trade your ammo for their loot. You know the best way to deliver ammo to a Cabal Centurian? You’ll figure it out, and it’s tons of fun. As for swapping irons in the Tower? Nope. We want you to earn ‘em. You should be able to tell a badass story for every sweet jewel in your arsenal. Once you earn them, the various Guardians under your account will be able to trade them, but weapons belong to the players who acquire them through action and bravery.[/quote] Confirmation that you cannot trade items between players. You can, however, store your items in the vault at the tower, and trade between your characters.
