How to Join a Clan in VvW
Quick answer: Find a clan in 4 steps: (1) browse /game/clan-list.html and filter by activity; (2) ask 5 vetting questions before applying; (3) submit a focused application; (4) make a friend in your first 14 days. Most clan failures stem from mismatched activity expectations, not bad players.
The 4 Steps
Browse and filter the clan list
Open /game/clan-list.html. Sort by 'recent activity'. Inactive clans drop off within 7 days, so the top of the list is automatically curated.
Vet with 5 questions
Before applying, ask the recruiter: average member online hours/week, mandatory events, voice expectation, loot policy, internal politics. Recruiters who answer all five clearly are running real organisations.
Submit a focused application
List: race, faction, prestige tier, time zone, voice availability, weekly hours, raid experience. Avoid 'I'm flexible' — recruiters read this as 'I won't show up'.
Make a friend in 14 days
60% of new members quit within two weeks if they don't connect with someone. Join voice during one event, ask one specific question in clan chat, accept one buddy invite.
