Clans are highly customizable, and you are encouraged to use your imagination when forming them.

In order to form a clan, you must go to Clan Headquarters in Delos, and have 500,000 gold in your inventory. You must know what you wish to call your clan (you can change it later), as well as know what you wish to nickname your clan.

CLAN LIST
      - Lists the clans you are in and what positions in those clans you hold. This will also list your "current" clan. Nearly all of the commands will work automatically on your current clan.

CLAN SWITCH [clan number or clan alias]
      - When you list your clans, you will see that each is given a number. Because nearly all of the below commands will work automatically on your current clan, and because you can belong to multiple clans, there must be a way to switch which clan the commands work on. This is it.
      - You do not have to use the clan switch command to use most of the clan commands on a clan different from your current clan. Instead, you may simply make the second word of the command the clan alias or clan number.
      - For instance, say your current clan is clan #1, and you wish to see what clan members are in clan #2. You could either do:
      CLAN SWITCH 2
      CLAN MEMBERS
        or
      CLAN 2 MEMBERS (ie see the clan members for clan #2)

CLAN WHO / CLWHO/ CLANWHO
      - Shows what clan members are online.
      - In a secret clan, only the clan head may use this.

CLAN MEMBERS
      - Shows all active clan members. Does not work in secret clans except for the clan head.

CLAN MEMBERS DORMANT
      - Shows all dormant clan members. Does not work in secret clans except for the clan head.

      - Clan tell. In a secret clan, unless you are the clan head, you will just see "someone" instead of the person doing the clantell's name.

CLANTELL ON/OFF
