Have you guys ever joined a multiplayer gaming clan of any kind?

Personally, I never have. Just never had the time to. I pub a lot and still have plenty of fun.

You guys?

I guess you could say I have. I was part of GUI, an Xfire group that mainly just talked on Xfire chat and played CSS together. Not really a clan, more like a community.

Nah, I decided to date and get married instead ;)

I've been in many of the most hardcore LotR clans in StarCraft. And two guilds in WoW, too.

Back when Jedi Knight Dark Forces II was big on the MSN Gaming Zone I was in a few clans, that game lasted like 6 years, loved it.

I had been on MMO clan but lost contact when the game i were playing died and they moved back to Aion and Wow.

I was in one back when SOF2 came out and one when I used to play Guild Wars.

Yes, but they've never been anything other than casual gaming clans. For games like TF2 and L4D2 it's nice to be part of a large scale clan where you know you'll be playing with others who: respect server rules, don't cheat, don't harass other players, and just want to play for fun.

I joined a clan in D2 so we could do weird party-based builds. If you've played a traditional MMO, there are healers, tanks, and damage dealers. D2 pretty much was all damage dealers, but after one of the patches some new support builds were possible. It just required some other dedicated players to make it work, since you had no way of soloing with some of the builds. This kind of coordination can only happen in a clan. I made a paladin with all the healing skills, one player made a paladin with tanking skills, two players made traditional damage dealer classes, one player made a support class that only debuffed enemies, and a few more people made duplicate characters in case one of the core players was busy. It was a completely new twist on the gameplay since we were all used to trying to get the best gear for soloing the hardest bosses. Besides this we thought we might try to get to the top of the ladder when it reset, but none of us could dedicate that much time. I ended up quitting sometime after we got to Hell difficulty, but it was some of the most fun I had in D2.

MMO-like parties in Diablo 2?

Wow, that must have been a really harsh change of pace.

I joined a pretty big guild/clan in guildwars, they were a lot of fun but sadly I didn't have enough time to play anymore so I had to leave due to inactivity

Yep, I used to be in a couple of Counter-Strike clans... this was about 10 years ago when it was still a free Half-Life mod.

I eventually stopped playing Counter-Strike after becoming acutely aware just how unfriendly the community was (and still is).

Used to be in a clan for Jedi Knight 2. It then branched into a community of multiple clans and multiple games, like Soldier of Fortune 2.

Definitely had some of my best gaming years in it. It was great being able to join a server and know the people you were playing with. It would be light-hearted fun most of the time, and then competitive matches every once in a while. Nowadays I jump into a public server and the games are taken too seriously. People shouting abuse at one another and taking all sorts of fits. I think that's the main reason why I don't play online as much now.

Yes, but only becuase a friend started it. It never really went anywhere.

Back in the days of cs 1.5 and then in css I have joined a few clans. I was never really that big on it though since if you had better things to do, most of the time they would rage and such. I was invited to a BC2 clan but I just don't see the point and I don't even play it again.

I was briefly in 2 clans in MechWarrior 4 back when it was new, but got bored with both of them really quickly. I've zero interest in joining any now for any game, largely because i almost never play games online anymore.Also i hate the word clan.

Nah, I decided to date and get married instead ;)

When I was 12 I was part of a clan for Enemy Territory called HC0. That was when I had nothing else in life to worry about.

I have been invited to several clans but never joined one due to timezone/language limitations.

Nope, seem like to much commitment and hassle. I just want to play multiplayer.

No, too much hassle, it's much easier to just join public games. I play withall of my Uncle's, my cousin's and some friends around my house. But I never joined their clans. I don't know if any of them consider me a member either, I'm just a guest.
