Hello Jurgel! Interesting hearing from you, since we haven't had the chance to talk much.
Yes, the clan has changed its policies about many things since then. We're now more open-minded when it comes to pvp and this is the main reason why I avoided characterising it a pve clan, even if we are mostly farm oriented right now. It was not nice seeing people use the clan as a stepping-stone to later join one of the three sides, so we decided to take things a little bit more seriously and get clan members to commit and stay in order to develop something big. As I mentioned in the OP, enthusiasm about building something new is what motivates us to go on, despite the hardships. I confidently believe we have the right people for this and the ability to selectively recruit more who share similar views.
