We are often asked the question 'I want to set up a clan, how do I do it?'
Well, there are a few parts to creating a Clan so I will mention them here in order:
1. Decide upon a Clan Name
These are often cool or relevant names. For shooting games they will most lilely represent something to do with death, killing or famous Armies.
Examples on this site are Hells Gunners (HG) , United States Marine Corp (USMC) and so on.
Another option is to make it stand out, such as Pink Elelphants.
2. Decide upon a Tag and your Clan Network ID as leader
Clan players will ALWAYS have a Clan Network ID which tells everyone else what Clan they are in which is crucial. You don't have to delete your existing Playstation Network (PSN) ID, you can just create a New User on your PS3 and create your new Clan ID.
Clans tend to take their Clans name and shorten in into a TAG with a few letters.
For example, if your Clan is to be called Satans Killer Army then your shortened TAG could be SKA.
Therefore, your Clan Network ID would be SKA_yourname.
Other forms of these Clan IDs are:
xxSKAxx-yourname or S-K-A_YoUrNaMe.
It's completely up to you!
Resistance Fall of Man is slightly different in that you don't need to place a TAG in front of your PSN id as the Resistance servers allow you create clans on there.
3. Recruit Members
There are a few good ways to recruit potential members. The best way is to recruit people that you have played online. If you've had a good game or you think they were good players then simply send them PSN message after the game ends and ask them if they would like to join your clan.
Another good way is to ask for members on the various Playstation 3 forums.
4. What PS3 Multiplayer can offer you
You can have your own Forum in the Clans section. You can use this to showcase your clan, mention your Clan ethos or joinging rules, ask for members and talk with other clans. You also get a Private subsection just for your members.
To have your own clan created contact Admin or a Super-Mod with following details:
Clan Name.
PS3 Game the Clan plays.
Password for the Private section.
Whether it's a North American or European/Australasian Clan.
5. Clan Graphics
All clans should have some good graphics. A good graphic would look good on your forum opening thread, your clan website or in your signatures on the various forums like this one.
We can create Clan Graphics for you from the following templates:

Let us know your Clan name and Clan Network ID.
Good luck!
