You would like to start your own clan but don't know what you need? Here are few things you need to get you started.
1) Clan name - A clan name is the very first thing you need to get before you can get anything else. This is how your clan is going to be adentify. You want to pick a really cool name but one that is not used by any other clan.
2) Website / Forums - You are going to need a website / forum for players to fill out applications to join your clan. The website / forum is also good to tell your clanmates about upcoming clan matches and other stuff.
3) Game server - A game server is the most important part of having a clan. This is where you guys are going to be playing together and recruit new members. You may also consider on getting a scrim server ( war server ) to compete against other clans.
Noob Gamers servers are from
Gameservers.com
4) ventrilo / teamspeak - These are the 2 most used 3rd party voice communication programs by clans. A voice server is used to stay in instant communication with your teammates. When playing in a scrim - clan war.
Before you decide on getting a voice server ask around which of the 2 are better. You can try both of them to see which one you would like better.
5) Psychostats / HLstatsX - Stats are optional but is cool to have. Psychostats / HLstatsX are used the most by clans to let them know how they are doing in the server.
NOTE: Some admin mods come with in-game stats that work just like psychostats / hlstatsx.
