Well, a current fad in the clan world has been to start pking/warring on private servers. This has led to a dramatic decline in wilderness activity as of late which is obviously a huge negative for trying to grow the clan scene.
A good example is The Rising actually had a mandatory pk trip on one of said private servers. Imagine if that had of been on the real game, it would have actually led to at least one fight if not more from other clans getting involved.
My question to you:
Do clans using private servers as "safe spaces" negatively impact the clan world?
Do you think these people will ever give the real game another chance?
What do you think led to these clans making the migration to private servers?
