Why not just call it "a group of friends"?
Why does it have to be called a "clan"?
clan, cult, group, guild
What's the difference? I usually play PC multiplayer games with a particular group of friends and every time there is an option to create a clan or a guild, we make one. Sometimes they expand due to others interested in joining and sometimes they stay as a group for friends, only with a name to represent that group.
I think it's a great way to always have people that are reliable and fun to play with. PUGging is usually hell, although sometimes a solid group can form out of a PUG or certain random individuals met over time.
I certainly wouldn't dare playing an MMO without finding myself a guild pretty early on. Then again it's all about preference I suppose.
EDIT:
Side note, Xbox Live Halo clans with rank structures and meetings like mentioned earlier, are
1. absolutely ridiculous
and
2. usually led by 12 year olds
