Can anyone tell me how to go about starting a club on Fishing Planet?

Teams

How would I go about starting a club in Fishing Planet

[GrelleForelle]

I merged your topics, please only create one.

[UnderwaterFrank]

Yes this is a good question is there any information when the clubs come to fishing planet and what features it will have.

[GrelleForelle]

you could create a only friends lobby, then you can play together with anyone you added as friend.

1. Think of a name for your club
2. Hover your mouse over your name on Steam
3. Click on Groups - after that I don't know because I've never created a group before

The actual "Clubs" feature promised to be coming to the game for a while now, still isn't added yet.

i cant wait for clubs to increase friends and also friendly competetion among fellow club members. and i like to see battles with other clubs and we can then have respect to our club we decide to join. also give the players something else to fish for which i feel is strongly in need of.. so i wish they hurry with this feature to regain players and for the consistant players . and other club feature ideas would be greatly be appreciated

Ah, but that's Steam Groups, which is a totally different thing from the actual in-game Clubs the devs have been promising.

Maybe I can help you if you want to start as of now an "unofficial" club. We started PH_ (Pro-Hookers) in August of last year. Just simply a few folks that enjoyed fishing together and enjoyed chatting with each other in the game chat. We came up with the name for the club, got our own Teamspeak server (this is optional, but it's a lot of fun), and created our own website and forums. We set up an application process and if we find people we really enjoy fishing with we invite them to put in an application. It can be a lot of work, but we wanted our club to be one that lasts. We now have a total of about 180 members, but only about 40 are very active now in Fishing Planet, inactive members do come back from time to time.

But to get started with a simple club here are the steps:

1. Think of a name.
2. Invite the people you like to fish with to join and add the innitials of your club in front of their game name. For example, Pro-Hookers PH_; Fishing With Cheese FWC_; etc.
3. Make sure all in the club are on each others FP friends list.

That's all you need to do.

Now, a few things not to do:

1. Never invite someone who is already in a club. If they leave the other club on their own that's a bit different.
2. Never say or comment in the game chat or on these forums things that would reflect badly on the reputation of your club.
3. Never be disrespectful to the people who play this wonderful game. If someone is causing issues or problems in the game chat, that's what the ignore button is for.

I hope I've been of some help. Good luck with your club and tight lines!

Good write up Hilrond.

I'm in two clubs and no one seems to mind :)

Thank you FishyFrags. Very true in some cases being in two clubs is not a problem, but I don't want to give the impression or perception that we are trying to steal members. That eliminates any potential problems from the start. It's always a pleasure fishing with you FishFrags.

I have no problems with that :)
