That's interesting, that's exactly what I was thinking we should do.  I wish I could bring a surge of 200 new players to alliance server.  
The game would benefit from a bunch of random new players forming clans, randomly attacking others, and finishing in the top 10-20.  I know you all have been arguing over the direction of the game for years, but having just come back, it's clear to me the game has drifted in a direction to benefit a very tiny number of people competing for the top networth spots.  A surge of new players is the only thing that will revive real competition here, both in netgaining and war.
