Clans can be a great blast. A meeting place with a bit of inconsequential game play But it can also be frustrating as hell. Herding cats always seems to come to mind. All the different personalities and goals all pulling in different directions.

And if you do find a group of people you really get along with. A play style that works for you. That bastardized modern phrase “Work Life Balance”. Trying to find time now between working, daily life and recreation time. A difficult one.

But on a longer time line then maybe this is all just part of the evolution of of gaming community perhaps? A simple change of seasons.

Go forth and have fun people

Unfortunately, this is only too true, and Spinks’ comment about learning the implementation organically is only too true. Unfortunately, it’s not rigorous, and without delving into the numeric details you may never find out (indeed, there could be options you’ve simply never explored).

In this case, there have been Dev Diaries, but they’re presented in fragmented form, as the developers have time to write them, and not collated afterwards. I’ve no objection to working out the implications of the system, but I *do* object to having to trawl through reams of pages to find out what the system is (because, for whatever reason, I didn’t read the diaries at the time).

This is even worse whenever they revamp some existing content, and don’t explain the full details of the revamp (“We’ve adjusted the stats on the armour drops from an area you stopped visiting months ago”): I’m not going to go randomly exploring in the hoe of discovering the changes. That’s what I want *new* areas and content for.
