Donk, I agree with this 100% conceptually- but what happened to/for me in df1 was there were clans that farmed the people outside ncp cities in attempt to get members... it actually works. Outside a ncp city alone is the worse place to try and develop a character. Clans can give the appearance of power/control to new people when they are seen 'dominating'. I actually think this could be pulled off effectively but would require organisation (and maybe behind the scene alliances).

If we take a wait and lets see approach expect to start behind the leaders... and fail. We all get discouraged at entering a race we are already losing...

As many of us that may be interested should start asap and not take a lets wait and see attitude. Without all our participation there can be only one outcome.
