We're gonna have some rules up for the clan before the RoS launch. Probably on a pinned thread on GD. In-game clan activity and forum registration is probably going to be required.

Will the current people in the clan remain? Or will you wipe everyone and start with forum registration?

We hope to keep some of the more active members in. But even for people removed, they can just reapply and come back (or PM/whisper me in-game), so as long as you're active you shouldn't worry too much about it (because you'll be reassigned almost instantly).
The forum activity and registration is just a way for us to tie up the DiabloFans clan to the website, and have people show up here or have a place where they can put friends up to be recruited. It's also a way for us to control clan aplicationschronologically. That's the general idea, at least.
so do we like have to make noise in this thread to save our clan spot?
Alright, Don't remove me pls! ;___;
Nope! No need to make noise in here. As it says in the clan MotD, there will be threads (both for EU and US) up later today (1pm PST / 9pm CET) :-)
P.S.: We have no plans to split up the clan in HC/SC right now as there are plenty of people who play both.
Which clan are you in Bagstone? The US or EU one?

1pm PST (e.g, San Francisco) / 4pm EST (e.g., New York) / 9pm CET (e.g., Paris). For Greece, this seems to translate to 10pm. But no worries, this will not be dealt with on a "first come, first serve" basis. No need to cancel your party plans tonight! Just post your application whenever you have time for it once the thread is up.
Mind what Bagstone said about applications. They will not be on a first come, first served basis. Post it when you can.
Also, no need to post any messages requiring to be reinvited in this thread, as these won't be used (we want to focus everything on a single thread).
Third, some of the more active people on the past 2 weeks, that we've seen forming groups and chatting, have a very high chance of not being removed from the clan on the wipe. The intent is not to remove the players who have been using the clan, just the majority of inactive, isolated players who are not really using the clan for anything.
how active do you have to be ? lm on almost every day but l play self-find/solo play is my slot in the can gone now because l like solo play more then g-play ?
There's really 2 different questions there.
First "how active one has to be"? We're not going to limit the clan slots only to people who can play 100 hours/week. That is not the intent. We do have an idea of how active we think players need to be so that the clan doesn't feel "dead" most of the time. For example, someone that plays 1 hour every 2 weeks probably won't be very active and playing with other members, and if we have 100+ members like that, the clan would feel dead most of the time, right? So we're gonna try to have a good mix of players from different skill levels and different available play times, so that there's always a way for you to find a group.
The second question being "I mostly play solo... what will happen to me?" - this is a tricky one. After some internal discussion, we've come to the conclusion that, if someone plays 95%+ of their gaming sessions on their own (for whatever reason, because they prefer playing at their own pace, or follow their own farming path, or who needs to split their attention between farming and other things), and aren't really using the clan features to form groups or chat with others, then we are inclined to think this person would fit better in the DiabloFans Community, not in the clan.
We won't require that you're forming groups with the clan ALL THE TIME, that would be really stupid. Players sometimes wanna do their own thing, sometimes they want to play with other friends. But in general, the idea here is that we want the clan to be a great place for players to easily group up with others,even when their friends are not online. And we can't have that if 90% of the members are always farming on their own, can we? =|
Farming together is faster, benefits hugely from the Strenght in Numbers buff, allows people to trade legendaries, and is most of the time a more enjoyable experience that allows for some cool skill combos. So we really want clan members to make a conscient effort in playing coop with clanmates.

I hate to say it, but this right here will most likely kick me out of the clan. I don't play a ton of groups. I have a family that includes a 3yr old Son, whom is my life and if he needs Daddy then he comes first. Even if I'm in the middle of a group run. So to cause the least amount of disruption to others I tend to go solo unless I'm on late and he is in bed.
If that means Im no longer a good fit for the clan, I understand. I will still try to stay as active on the website as I can.

Don't feel bad, you're not the only one; I have a 7 year old, and particularly on my days off, I do the same thing. I try to stay somewhat active by talking to people, answering questions, etc., but when I am playing D3 with someone, it's generally with my girlfriend sitting right next to me. Like you said, though, no worries; there's plenty of other clans out there that won't require some decent level of group forming. We're all here to enjoy the game our own way, I'm not worried about complicating it with how others want me to play the game. Best of luck to you guys, and may RNG shine on you
You can still freely apply Evolution. It doesn't mean you won't be accepted.
It's just a general guideline for those who really don't enjoy playing in groups, or chatting with others. We just want to make use of the actual clan features, instead of just being a random bunch of people thrown together. We don't mind having a couple solo players though. It's just fine.
But make sure you do apply once the thread is up. Don't worry too much about these things, let us worry about it
I'm the owner of the Diablofans EU clan. I really had no plans by taking that name other than I thought I would get shitloads of request and eventually giving clan leadership to someone in this community. If someone wants the name please request an invite, and I'll promote you and leave the clan. I hope that someone can make something out of it and that it'll be an active and fun community.
