KLANS

How to start your own clan

Create a clan, tag the games you play, set up roles, and start recruiting.

1. Create it

Open the clans page and use Create a clan. You need a name and a description. The description is what people read on the game hub before they decide whether to look further, so say what you play, when, and who you are looking for — not a slogan.

2. Tag your games

This is the step that makes a clan findable. A clan tagged with a game appears in that game hub's clan list, which is where most members arrive from. Tag every game you genuinely play; a clan listed against a game it never touches wastes everybody's time, starting with yours.

3. Set up roles before you need them

Beyond owner, a clan has admins, moderators, event managers and members. Promote an event manager early: they can schedule and run events without needing you awake. Role templates let you define the participant roles your events reuse — tank, healer, DPS, or whatever your game calls them — once instead of per event.

4. Give people something to turn up to

A clan with an event on the calendar recruits itself. See how KLANS events and tournaments work.

5. Keep the profile current

Avatar, banner, region, language, voice platform and recruiting requirements all show on your public profile and all affect whether the right people apply. A clan page that answers "would I fit here?" gets fewer applications and better ones.

Common questions

How many people do I need to start a clan?
One. You create the clan, tag the games it plays so it appears on those game hubs, and recruit from there.
What roles can clan members have?
Owner, admin, moderator, event manager and member. Admins manage the clan and its roster, event managers can create and run events, and moderators handle the wall.
Can a clan play more than one game?
Yes. Tag every game your clan plays and it is listed on each of those game hubs, which is usually where new members find it.
