i'm shopping around for a new game but was intimidated by c&c the first time because it seemed (from my outsider's perspective) that most of the activity was focused on the same group of players, everyone else kind of hung around on the outskirts and picked up tags where they could

i'd appreciate any current players weighing in to let me know if it's worth it to push through the clique, especially if you're new

well, at this point, over a third (almost half?) of our playerbase is newbies. most of the main culprits of cliqueyness (yami and ali come to mind) dropped a relatively long time ago, and from what i've seen, the playerbase is practically salivating over new players.

i mean, the game was dying because of a lack of new blood. the influx of new players is something everyone (or everyone i personally talk to) is excited about.

so i'd say it's a lot more welcoming than it used to be, and you'll be in good company. the new players will probably start to outnumber the old, if things keep up at the rate they are.

good to know, thanks anon

i wasn't going to say the old culprits of cliquishness aren't gone, since some of them are still as bad as ever, but then the rest of the this thread happened. so there you go.

i guess it kind of depends? i'm a pretty new to the game and i've found it's a lot easier to get cr with people who are also new than to get cr with c&c holdovers. there are definitely traces of cliquishness here and i don't feel 100% welcome by more established players in my cast, but the other newbs have been really friendly. all in all it's a mixed bag, i'd say!

it's much easier to get cr with new people. cnc holdovers are friendly enough, but most of their logs are closed, they've had cr for years, etc. i'd say you could break in if you're determined, but you'll have to put in some legwork

they're good at tagging network posts but seem focused on building cr with their core group, so essentially the same as before.

other new players are your best bet for friendly and welcoming

c&c holdouts are still cliquish and i think they were hoping that the 'reboot' would bring back all their old friends from the start and they're butthurt it didn't happen

I haven't seen any butthurt at all actually. I think the new housing system has really helped old players connect with new ones, and I see plenty of mixing on the Network posts.

ehhhh yeah just tag the other newbies. this place is looking to have the same problem with insular groups as cnc did.

a lot of the time it feels like a musebox for the old clique, we just play in it. the game is still new, though. i'm giving it some more time.

I'm 100% new and joined with a somewhat obscure lcw, still got a great welcome and a lot of people tagging me. Also, like everyone else has said, there's more new players than old at this point, I'm sure you'd fit in just fine.

it's hard because of the years of CR. it's understandable given the history, but it does make it tough to build cr because new players need it and the old group can pick and choose (and does). i'm sticking with it for now, but i'd try for another game if you're nervous enough to post here.

sounds like too much work to me, i'll app elsewhere. thanks guys

i'm new and enjoying it. i haven't built much CR, but tbh that's because i'm pretty lazy myself and need to reach out more

gonna disagree with some of the other anons. i'm new and playing an obscure character, and i got a really warm welcome both ooc and ic, a lot of players (new and old!) reaching out to me for cr, etc.

(also, it's completely ridiculous to say "the old players are cliquey" and then encourage people to only pursue cr with other new players, imo. if the game isn't cliquey now, it sure will be if everyone follows that advice!)

Let's have something nice to distract from all the wank.

A lot of the new characters are awesome. Just off the top of my head: Jesse Pinkman, Violet Harmon, Matt Murdock, Miles Edgeworth, Cecil Palmer, some pretty cool looking OCs. And despite what all the wankers are saying, there seems to be plenty of mixing between old and new players.

+1 to all the above and adding I've been enjoying the Frozen and Deadspace casts, Booster Gold, Roy Mustang, Aileen Kimbler, and Veronica Mars! Sharon Rainsworth and Troy Barnes are my current standout favorites among the older characters.
