Posted: Fri Apr 12, 2013 8:49 pm
This guide will give you tips and teach you how to setup a successful clan
Name
Make sure your clan name is original, the more original your clan name is, the more players you will attract.
Example of a bad name - PKerowners
Example of a good name - Tactic Kings
Clan title
In your clan title make sure it involves your Clan Name as well as what your Clan stands for and maybe some requirements.
Example - #MAXED! Pking!-Wyrming!-Skilling! #126 Combat 2082 Total#
Clan page
There are a few things that you should have in your Clan Page, having these things will make your thread look more appealing and many more people will think your Clan is more professional.
Things your clan must have
- Clan Name
- Introduction
- Ranks
- Sign Up Format
- Rules
Things that are optional
- Ranking System
- Events
- Screenshots
- Signature
Introduction
Tell something about your Clan to those who are viewing your thread, as long as you let them know all that is about your Clan then people will know what they want and will most likely choose you, just make sure you introduce yourself to the new people that are viewing your thread because this is what players will most likely read and decide to join you or not.
Ranks
Ranking is entirely your decision, just make sure your decisions are good and made for the best of the clan. It is suggested that you choose wisely and base your rankings of a few things but it is not wise to rank your friends high in clan just because they are your friends, make sure you have good reasoning for the decisions you make because if you do not make the correct decision when giving someone a rank then that can ruin everything for you, so be wise when it comes to this.
Ranking system
A Ranking System is always good, most clans have this and it helps out a lot. It looks a lot more professional and stylish, it can help quite a lot and you can keep track of your Clan Members easier with them being categorized as well as not always having to take control of it yourself, you will have senior or superior members in your Clan so they will be able to take care of things easily, basically the Ranking System helps you and your clan out a lot.
Sign up format
In the Sign-Up Formats you will want to add the requirements you need to join the clan and basic information.
Example
Code: Select all
Name:
Username:
Bank worth:
Total level:
Make sure you make good rules for all your clan members, So if anyone violates these rules you could ban him to keep your clan clean, And your members happy.
Example
Code: Select all
1.Follow the PKH Laws.
2.No Flaming/Baiting etc
3.No advertising over yell (this can result into a mute).
4.No CC hopping (this could result in a bann)
5.No Flaming at other Clans
6.Don't ask for a promotion
7.No backstabbing (if we find proof of backstabbing this could result in a ban)
Be sure to host an event every once in a while to keep your members active/entertained and something to look forward to. Some basic events: (Bandos, Nex, WildyWyrm, Hide N Seek)
