Clans
Clans are ongoing military unions of players created for co-operative accomplishment of military missions, geopolitical games, or just for fun. Only clans can control provinces on the Global Map and receive regular income, initiate diplomatic negotiations, form alliances, and participate in clan tournaments and rated combats. Clanmates are brothers-in-arms who fight shoulder to shoulder for victory or share bitter defeats. You can become part of one of these clans in World of Tanks.
How to Join a Clan
Step 1
Go to the game's website for the server you play on.
Step 2
Log in and then click on your Log-in name in the upper right corner to display the drop-down menu (see image below).
Step 3
Click on My Profile. This will take you to your Profile page. There you will see "Find Clan" listed as one of the options on the right side. Click on that.
Now you can either scroll through the entire list of clans or, if you know the *correct spelling* of the clan name, you can just type it in and press Enter. When you find the one you're looking for, click on Join Clan. This will bring up a text window where you can type a message indicating your interest in joining the clan, why you chose that clan, etc. You will have to wait for someone to accept you into the clan. Once they do, you're in.
Note that there is a 48h cool-down period after leaving a clan during which you cannot be accepted into another clan. If your application to join a clan is rejected, there is a 7 day cool-down period before you can reapply to the same clan.
How to Leave a Clan
Step 1
Log-in to your server's website and find your clan's page as described in the section above.
Step 2
Instead of the Join Clan link, as a member of the clan you will see a Leave Clan link. Click on that to leave your clan with immediate effect. This also starts a 48h cool-down period during which you cannot join another clan.
