well first u need about three or four friends to start a clan first. You cant run a succesful clan by urself. Then you need to decide on the requirements. THen make an invisionfree forum. THen just start recruiting on runescape and make ur members happy. Have lots of events and stuff

Be an experienced pker yourself. If you don't find yourself scoring lots of kills, don't bother.

Have reliable people to join you, preferably friends with skill as well. Talented ones (eg. graphics) would be an advantage.

Motivate potential members. Are there any rewards for joining? Any reasons why people should join this clan?

If you decide to advertise on Runescape, make sure you do NOT advertise your forum. Just your clan....

I would suggest before making a clan talking a few freinds into helping you. Make sure they won't break under stress and handle a tough situation. I've been in in 3 clans 2 of which were promising new clans which after 2 months or so collpased becasue one of the leaders which I knew well freaked out under stress and alientaed himself and the clan.

Remember if someboy has an attitude toss them IMMEDIALTY or they might get followers if the members don't like a mod or leader and in reality he is a bad mod or Co-Leader demote him and if makes any guff toss him.

It might sound ruthless but if you allow people to get angry which they will be when that 'ub3r clan' with 80 lvl 100+ attacks you and you lose becasue you only have 20 people. Don't distance yourself from the members you have to act as one of them and chat and be freindly with all members

It's hard enough raising a clan with all these super-clans around so you'll have to be tough work hard and have a bit of good luck

Let me emphasize don't feel badly about tossing flamers and anyone who resents another member all they will do is make a crack in the wall which will get bigger and bigger and bigger until the wall can't support itself and it falls over.

Good luck with the clan man.

Activity: If a clan is not active, then nobody will want to remain in it.

Events: You must host events so clan members can get together and meet eachother in game. It brings your members closer together.

Nice Site: If you do not have a decent site and forums for your clan, then people wont be too interested. Some ppl wouldnt even browse through it if it looks like an amature designed it.

Friendly Members: Nobody wants a clan that is not friendly. Be sure to be nice and helpful to all your members. If they are not working out, dont kick them imediatly, try to see if you can work it out.

Advertising: Find a way to advertise your clan. Even if there are not many ppl in your clan, they may stay longer if they know you are advertising.

If your planning on making a clan NOT for pking, you need to make sure your more nicer than usual to attract people to the clan. they will want a nice community to join if the only reason is to have fun with people. Them people will have to be kind.

Being the leader of the #1 skilling clan of RS i know a thing or 2 so here are my top 10 pointers..

1) You need to be a good listener, and have the ability to hear both sides of every story.
2) You need to earn the respect of all your clan mates or you will never get anywhere and with respect comes trust.
3) Knowledge is everything. Try to know as much about runescape as possible.
4) I try to get to know members on a more personal level and find out hobbies etc.
5) Not every member will like you but they stay because they have a certain level of respect, if you have earned it.
6) You will have to step on toes and make decisions in the best interest of the clan and not what you think would be best for yourself.
7) Majority rules.
8) You will need a couple of trustworthy accomplices to help you moderate forums and websites etc.
9) You will lose alot of gameplay being the leader of a clan because you are always doing other things.
10) HAVE FUN!
