The purpose of clans
I know people join clans for various reasons: they enjoy gaming with others, they want to become more prominent in gaming society, they’re lonely (please don’t let this be your reason). However there are only two purposes for clans. I suggest you make these two purposes your reason for wanting to join a clan, because if you don’t: A. you will be sorely disappointed or B. gaming will turn into a full-time job (and we all know jobs aren’t fun).
Purpose 1: To compete. The only way to play competitively with others is either through a clan or team. You’re not Rambo, so don’t try to be.
Purpose 2: For the benefits. Clans generally give the security of tech support, a website, Team Speak servers, good people to play with, and a Call of Duty education. There’s no better way to learn the game, fix your motherboard, chat in game or post MW2 tips than through the utilization of your clan’s resources.
The reality of clans
Clans aren’t what you think they are. There generally are rules. They’re not flippant. If you’re looking for a group of people to game with once a month or a Team Speak server to utilize for you and your friends, then a clan probably isn’t for you. Clans do require some dedication, and sometimes a little money. Think of it as the payback for using their resources.
Are you clan material?
So before you say, “Yes, I want to join,” think about: Do I have time to play regularly? Do I have any money to help pay for things such as servers or a website? Do I want to compete? How are my skills compared to my (maybe) future clan mates?
Next blog I will dive into which clans I recommend, what to look for in a clan and what to avoid.
Interesting . . . though I have no idea what you're talking about!
