I think we should do what Duke and others have been asking us to do for the past few months --- make a concerted effort to bring newcomers in. However, I don't think we should invite people in for a look around until we get the place cleaned up and looking nice. It looks pretty good right now, but I think we could make it look even slicker and better with some changes here and there. For example, the home page could scare a lot of people off --- there is too much info flying around.
Think of it as selling your house. You've lived in it for years, and think it's a great house, but until you give it a fresh coat of paint and make some needed repairs, etc., you will not attract as many potential buyers. We don't just want traffic --- we want buyers.
BTW, I'm about half way done with the WOK Manual.
Also, sorry to bring this up all in one obscure thread, but I was thinking about the best way to handle newcomers and the Clan system. What do y'all think about this: There should be some method of spreading newcomers out to different clans, so that 1 or 2 clans are not overwhelmed, and so all newcomers are able to receive enough caring and attention from their clan members to learn the game. The method could either be random assignment, or let someone pick a clan and then the next newcomer would have to pick a different one.
