Torn PDA has been developed as an assistant for players of Torn City (www.torn.com). It was conceived to enhance the experience of playing Torn from a mobile platform, and other already existing applications, such as YATA, have been a great influence. * Profile page with shortcuts to you preferred sections, access to basic status data, recent events, cooldowns and net-worth calculation. You can also manually activate notifications so that you don't waste any energy, nerve, or miss any cooldown expiry. * Check your travel status and configure notifications just before you arrive. No more forgetting and being mugged abroad. Also, configure the notification shown so that it is safe to use even at work or in other public environments. * Have a look at foreign stocks directly in the Travel section.

Idle Clans aims to provide the classic MMORPG experience in a casual way. Everything you would expect from an MMORPG, but at your own pace. You don't need to quit your day job to keep up with others. If you only have a moment, that's still enough to keep your character progressing. CLANS The game's title might give it away, but a central part of the game is its clan system. Create a clan or join an existing one to collaborate with others and speed up your own progression. Clans can unlock clan-specific upgrades, clan events, clan bosses and clan quests. Some clans are very casual, some coordinate at levels our government agencies could take notes from. The clan recruitment centre makes it easy to find the right clan for you. PLAYER-DRIVEN ECONOMY Every item you purchase on the player market has been obtained or crafted by another player. SKILLS & COMBAT Deep, interconnected skilling, crafting and combat systems are the core of the game. There are dozens of skills to level up along with an ever-growing collection of items, upgrades and modifiers. Content varies from lowly turkeys that are incapable of doing harm to end-game bosses and raids that'll put your game knowledge to the test. Completing every achievement grants you the Grandmaster rank. That's a journey lasting years, and we might be biased here, but what a journey it is! FREE-TO-PLAY Idle Clans is free-to-play with optional in-app purchases. These provide tokens that can be claimed for permanent ranks. The tokens are tradeable, meaning anything in the game shop can also be bought with in-game gold, as many players opt to do. COMMUNITY Idle Clans has been actively developed since its launch in 2023, and our amazing community has played a massive part in shaping the game. With 10k+ players in our Discord server, there's no shortage of ideas and discussion.
