As I read through the the posts and think of my own experience I am disheartened. As celtic heros creates bigger and bigger bosses ( in part as response to player demand), the small clans are getting ground into the dirt.
Small clans cannot single handed kill big egb of course so the options are make bigger clans or create alliances. On some servers the alliances are sorta working but more and more the "one server clan" is developing.
What's the big deal about the "one server clan"?
1) no options. If you start on a server and find out you don't "gel" with the reigning clan you just wasted all your time.
2) unlike OAC, you can't transfer a toon you might have spent years on to another server.
3) promotes the buying and selling of toons so one might transfer and not have to start back at square 1. Which can indirectly and unfairly screw with the balance of power. Some clans ban sold toons and have not suffered that shift of power......others have not faired so well.
4) friendships and localities go by the side in search for better gear...after all.....hey "it's just a game".......right?
My more enjoyable game time was with small clans.......Intimate groups of people having fun. I loved the diversity of the early game days.
IDK the answer but I just wish there was a way the have my cake and eat it too lol.
