I tried at one point but i gave up again. I cant ask people to join a completely unknown new clan, because that would be the same as asking them to play x1 majority of the time - i would only delay their progress and i didnt want that so i shut it down again.
I think it would be too much fun though.
edit: the clan i tried to start was a shielder clan. 10 players max. same equipment and above level 32+ (34+ pref)
