can anyone give me some steps or something on how to start a clan for starcraft on bnet, as in with the bots and the restricted channel, and the hammers next to the name, etc.

all I've got from asking around is that we need 10 people, and we need warcraft bots.

You need 10 unclanned cdkeys or else you have to wait a week. Then you make a clan through wc3 where 1 person creates it becomes cheiftan. If theres no clan members in channel, it becomes restricted and no one can join, except clan members. The hammer next to name means channel Operator, one who can make channel private or ban/kick people.

how do I know if my cdkey is unclanned or not? and ty btw

No key can be clanned.. i can't believe a rumor like that got out.. like it is just stupid.. Anyways NAMES are clanned not keys. You can use the key for any account to make any clan.

Wrong.
After a cdkey is used to make a clan, it is clanned and cannot be used on another account to make another clan within the 7-14 days. You have to wait 1 or 2 weeks before you can make another clan with the same cdkey.

Once again, partially correct.

A CD Key that has been entered into a clan must wait a probation of 1 week through the status of "Peon" to prevent the spam joining of clans. This "Peon" Status is applicable only through the use of War III and War III: TFT CD-Keys. In no other way can you actually form a clan on Battle.Net. Using a Bot that runs 24/7 does not mean you have a clan, it means you have a bot that runs 24/7

WarCraft III is the only Blizzard Game as of yet to support clans.

I can't believe you would start a rumour like that!

What I stated and what you are trying to correct are two different things, therefore I stand correct.

Just do us a favor and not start another clan...

Shall I remember you that you're into one or two of them?

But do we need more?

Let him do what he wants. It's not like we have an excess of clans or that another clan would hurt us.
