I agree about the newcomers... but not about the factions. :smile42: I, for example, don't really know, I like both Demons and Tower, I'm sure I'm not the only one who likes more than one faction. :)
If you're going to create Clans, I think 5 would be enough, for example, dark, chaos, summoners, light, neutral, etc., this would be like an alignment. And a dark faction could be a Dark Elf, a Demon, a Necromancer, or an Academic; a chaos faction could be Demons, an Academic, a Dark Elf, an Elf, a Gnome... :rolleyes: I hope my idea is clear. :)
P.S. I think you're making a big deal out of this, it's the same as the "Judgment" topic, it's important, but... not that important. So don't panic and make a fuss: "Here are the dead Clans, they are interfering, they need to be closed! New Clans are useless, created only to create and then consider themselves the 'leader' of the Clan!" etc.

Барон "Vampires"
Отдай свои прошлые сны,
В сомненьях себя обрети,
В бешеном танце душа кружится!
Не думай, что будет потом,
Здесь и сейчас мы живем,
Стань хоть на миг сам собой, слышишь!
