(This is for if you start from scratch)

Step 1: Get all your ideas, art, places, tech, etc ready before you start. Also decide if you want it to be a normal clan or a power clan. Be sure to have an interesting name with an undone concept.

Step 2: Begin pm bot recruiting for your clan, do this every day until you have 1000 - 2000 members. Also host 2 - 3 events a day yourself. (Notice how I mentioned nothing about high ranks, that's because you shouldn't start with them) When hosting events you should manually pm as many online members as you can telling them about your event, that on top of a group shout.

Step 3: Once you normally rally up around 20 people to your events start looking out for your skilled members and seeing if they're high rank material. Find about 3 - 5 competent high ranks who can help you run your clan. (Do this while doing Step 2 if you aren't at 1000 - 2000 members yet)

Step 4: Declare war on a notable clan about your size. Do everything you can to win it honorably. If you lose then you already failed, clans that lose tend to have a harder time repairing their reputation when it's this early on. You need this win so you can form the idea that your clan is strong. If you must, declare war on a group you know you can beat that is led by someone who won't cause as many problems relating to cheating.

Step 5: If you chose to have a power clan then exile all the inactive members, create a strict filter system to ensure all new members are skilled, and demote current low ranks who are less skilled to your bottom soldier rank. If you chose normal clan then continue running your clan.

Step 6(if power clan): Now you will be reliant on making skilled people think it's worth it to join your group. To do this you must start talking to lots of skilled players personally to form friendships. They will then either join by themselves or you can ask them to join. Also make sure your rules are strict, your clan has necessary raiding equipment such as teamspeak3, and your members don't look or sound like idiots.


Rest is up to you, this should help people start it though. Really all you need is actual dedication and some basic knowledge on what you're doing. If you got another way feel free to use it, but this is my recommended method.

Minus the PM bots- which I wouldn't dare touch with a 10 foot pole- everyone knows these rather vague steps. It's the methods to accomplishing the steps that people don't get.

If my clan EVER used a PM bot, I would definitely enforce one to two days from those being messaged and joined instantly. Or I could possibly limit the clan's access.

Well, everything that was said in this group is just an extended version of what I said.

Oh well. If you think this is the way, then this way you go. Not like I can stop you.

"high ranks are needed because you cant do everything yourself"

Um yes you can. My best clans were the ones I led entirely myself. My clans recently have been failing because I wasted too much time trying to find good high ranks while in reality I was doing all the work. The frustration caused me to quit fast. High ranks are not needed. I led Shadow Nation strongly for a year while doing 90% of the work the entire time. The best clans on Roblox are the ones primarily led by their owners.


"Minus the PM bots"

Sadly unless you use pm bots right now, can get C&G hype, or have tons of cash you will probably fail at starting up your group. It's just how things are currently. I used to be able to manually recruit to get 500 to 1000 members and create tons of activity, but now everyone beats that out with pm bots so manually recruiting has less effect.




"Well, everything that was said in this group is just an extended version of what I said.

This is completely different from the things you said. The things you said were highly naive, this is just focused on what needs to be done not how you act. And you don't need high ranks or connetions.

"1. this is obvious"
Apparently not since many people start clans up before being ready

"2. lmao no. never this."
If you don't do this, hype on C&G, or have lots of money you'll fail.. Prove me wrong, I'd love to see it.

"3. skilled fighters =/= hr material."
If you actually read it I said to look at them to see if they're competent to be high ranks, not to just promote skilled fighters to high rank positions....

4. maybe...
"5. um no."
This is how VOID did it and it worked great for them.
"6. no. it doesnt change anything"
Yes it does...

Actually, it's rather easy. People on roblox just have the marketing skills of an autistic trout missing a portion of its frontal lobe.

I led Burn Legion for 3 weeks, during that time we averaged 23 to events and rallied 40 - 60. Yes it was a success, and no I didn't start it from scratch. I used different methods for BL.

Untrue correction.

Um no, the way to get name out there is to advertise. To do that you need a media... That media is either Roblox's advertising feature which costs money, C&G, or pming people which is better than going place to place...

PM botting's been inefficient for me now that most people have turned messages to "friends only" and the ROBLOX floodcheck has always made it so you can only send a limited number per minute.

Any way around this?

@caleb, Majority of Robloxians don't have the patience, dedication, time, or sometimes even knowledge to start up a good clan. So don't feel bad.

VS had an activity rush in 2013 because Lilly brokered a deal with ozzypig: VS advertises the script helper site, and the front page hunger games place advertises VS. To think that there are so few avenues is a mistaken assumption.

Um no, most clans don't do that. The in-dev ones that do always try to get people to talk about them before they're ready and then die quickly due to all that wasted energy. Clans should be ready before even created.

"no pm bottin. have money and connections thats it."

Not everyone has that, this is a guide anyone can follow.

"learn better sentence structure?"

Learn English?

"and?"

And that's a professional citation of this plan working successfully.

"no lol no it doesnt"

Prove it.

I do have those things though!
PM bots haven't been working for me, and group recruiting plaza has became filled with WWII groups and modern military. Not to mention "hyping" on C&G, you'll only get flamed.

Gotta power through it lol

I didn't "think" that. This is a guide for people with nothing, something anyone can do. Not everyone has the ability to get vip recruiting...
