Previous  Clan Name and Image Requirements  Next

Below is listed the requirements and reasons for images and names to be accepted or rejected when making your Clan Application.
If some of these terms are not met, then your clan application may be declined, so read these through thoroughly before designing and picking a name for your clan.

Clan Name and Symbol Requirements
  1. Symbol must be 13 x 13 pixles saved in gif format only. For example, if you right click on the Guards clan symbol  you will see in the Properties that it is 13x13 pixels.
  2. Symbol should not have animation.
  3. Do not use the names of the States, territories, settlements and other geographical features, as well as nationalities from the real world: For example: the Soviet Union, Russians, Knights of France, Slavic Bratststvo, Magmary Donbasa etc. Nor can you use public facilities, heraldic symbols and the real world.
  4. Do not use words or images to do with religion or religious organisations. For example: "Archangel", "Paradise", "hell", "Orthodox", "Jihad", "prophets", the names of Catholic orders, etc. Nor is the use of religious symbols allowed. This includes the Nazi version of the Swastika and the original Hindu version, which is not tilted at an angle, and is still not allowed since it too is a religious symbol.
  5. It cannot be an emblem of the clan badges  or other icons already used in the game. For example: a symbol of their race, curse icon, icon, "write in" Private, etc.
  6. Do not use a name and logo that is incompatible with the theme of the game. For example: company logos,  monitory signs: dollar, pound, the euro, pacifism, and radioactivity or  biohazard.
  7. Do not use fascist, nationalist, racist, and any other symbols of the real political world. Do not use names associated with fascism, and the leadership of the armed forces of fascist states.
  8. Do not use trademarks campaigns from the real world. In particular, logos such as Playboy, Mercedes, BMW, Mitsubishi, Ferrari etc.
  9. The clan name should be in English.
  10. Do not use emoticons as a clan symbol.
  11. The name or image must not duplicate the name or image of the Royal family.
  12. Even if your clan is registered, but is later revealed to be plagiarism, you will need to make a change of name or image.
  13. Do not copy images from other games. For example, a dogs foot print could be from a game but, if it is obviously from that game, then it is not allowed and you will have to change it. If you are found to have had your clan accepted and your image has not been recognised by us as being from another game and we have been alerted to this fact, then you will have to supply us with another image by contacting us here. The image must be an original design.
 
Clan Image Quality Requirements
  1. If possible, find a professional artist. The symbol should not be too primitive in design. 
  2. If possible, the symbol must be understood by anyone who does not know the name of the clan. Remember that other players will only see their names in the chat line, and not see the name of the clan. An exception to this rule may be made to the abstract symbols. Abstract symbols clearly show that the players are not trying to describe the clan.
  3. The symbol should have a transparent background. You do not need to have a logo on a coloured square. Transparent background is not white, grey, or any other colour but blank.
    Look again at the Guards clan symbol:  as you can see, it has a transparent background.
  4. Symbols should not contain offensive images, for example, some portion of a person or animal etc.
