How to Join a Runescape Clan

A clan is a group of players who join together for a common goal. The clan fights and plays together to increase their individual scores and help each other. While clans are not an official part of the Runescape world, the game's maker (Jagex) tolerates them and even encourages new players to join a clan for the benefits they can get from the more experienced players. Clans have become such an integral part of the Runescape world that there are even approved clan contests within the game.

Tips & Warnings

• Join a clan that has goals similar to yours, such as becoming good fighters, leveling up players and getting the most gold.
• Read all introductory information about a clan you are interested in before asking to join.
• Respect the rules of the clan by learning everything possible about it and following requirements for new recruits.
• Never give your Runescape password to anyone, even another clan member. Players are not allowed to share or trade accounts. Sharing your password encourages you or others to break Jagex's rules.
• Many clans have activity requirements that must be met for you to continue in your membership. Make sure you have the time to commit to your clan before you join.
• Avoid clans that demand payment or items in exchange for membership.
• Do not harass or bother the clan moderators or leaders with questions or requests.
