So unable to sleep I dived into and browsed the clans list so you don’t have to.   Bare with me as I go rain man here

 

I was intrigued since before the lunch of clans there were only 16 clans active on the forums and then with the launch of 2.0  it seemed like 100s of clans had popped up.   Turns out that feeling was correct so here are the numbers as of day 2 of 2.0:

 

Number of clans with over 8 members: 530 -  representing about 9900 players

Out of that clans with over 23 members: 150

Clans with 49 to 50 members: 80

 

Whats in a Name: 

Clans with animals in name

Shark 2

Wolf 5

Eagle 6

Rat 1

Dog 6

Chicken 1

 

 Tog fans 3 (best one "Global Tog Protection&quot

 

Clans with a place in the name include 

Texas: 3

Canada: (Quebec counts) 9

Spanish speaking 14 (at least spanish typing)

 

Other interesting names:

clans with potato: 3

Wallet warriers: 3 (including clan “Iwastedhowmanycredits)

"Org.w/out cool acronym" clan

"freeconcep" 0 - blocked ?

 

Best pun

“tank but no tanks” clan

 

Worst clan names.  guess mods are not watching for players beating the filter

ANAL –including clan "ANAL" and “theanalrapists”

FBI-Female body inspectors

Interesting! Thanks for compiling the info, though, the last part...

Oh! I only just noticed the T-34-85 V roasting a potato on its gun over the fire. I love it!

I noticed one named ISIS and was wondering if it was a psychological move to throw other players off.  Because I don't think they mean this Isis:

I have been surprised at the names too. Reapers had reserved ours ahead of time but I looked around yesterday and their were already four other reaper-like clans formed. 

 

WG struck gold with this as their is obviously a lot of pent up demand. At 1M credits each That's a lot of silver spent in 48 hours.

We've actually got over 2,000 clans already on Blitz, which is pretty awesome!  Of course, this means that some clan names/tags have slipped by, but we're working on it.  You can also always report an inappropriate clan name or tag to Support.

2k clans, wow. I think we have about 25 with recruitment threads on these forums and only 10-15 of those I would refer someone too. That's a lot of randoms.

There are loads of clans with 1 or 2 members. You would think people would have a bunch of names committed to their clan before dumping 2.5m credits.

Sometimes you just wanna roll only with your friends, at least for a while.  I have a group of friends that only group with each other in any video game they play, and they'll party up or play with other communities, but they stay with their own 5-7 man tag.

I find it sad that half of the clans will be dead in a month due to lack of organization, poor leadership, or just bad in general. Speaking of general, general chat has turned into clash of clans...

[LE_gend_VI]

Maybe wg knows someone's willing to spend real cash to make a clan. Whether they blossom or not it's a new feature we have to get used to. Let em spend dough and help keep wg alive.

Oh my gosh yes... I went to say hello to everyone and talk about the update on General Chat, and people were spamming: JOIN MY CLAN! JOIN MY CLAN! It drove me nuts. WG needs a rule to tell people you can't advertise your clan over and over and over again....

I only paid 1 mill.  Perhaps I got a discount because I'm a really cool guy?

 

Also, in the original news letter put out by Wargaming it mentioned that Clans would need to be bought, and then have an upkeep associated with them.  Does anyone know what that fee is, and how often it will be charged?  I would like to know so I don't run low on cash flow.  I'll have to adjust how much Prammo I sling in game to afford my... other... habits.

I'm not aware of any upkeep fee for Clans.  Do you happen to have a link/screenshot of that newsletter?

Re-looked through the clan newsletters I could find, and didn't see anything about upkeep.  I must have been loopy when I was reading through stuff.  Disregard.  I must have been incorrect.
