To be honest not having a clan size limit makes me less interested. People like him just show up and will have 250 people go grind stuff for him while the rest of us peons spend tens of hours to get a fraction of what large guilds acquire in a short time. Then youll have 1000 man chinese guilds who just zerg and kill everything and yell china numba 1 before fricking off to another server to ruin someone elses experience.

I'm actually fine with that in this instance. This last Alpha lasted a week, in that time the majority of plots around me had an initial burst of activity where people got up to a kiln or furnace, but then completely stopped.

Those who show up to support their streamer are likely to be highly transient players like that, meaning they'll build some massive structures but in a month or two much of them will be abandoned and begin deteriorating once Asmongold moves onto a new game, back to an older one or banging his girlfriend. That deterioration adds character, at least to me.

EA starts sometime this month, I believe (they have said "Spring 2024" and Spring ends in June), but EA is still a development phase so there will be a lot of people who jump in to do just like what happened in A2 and then it will tone back down until full release where we'll see the pattern re-establish (but possibly last longer, depending on how well received the game is).

Most of those will not venture too terribly far from where they spawn in, I'm already looking over the maps to try to pick out a spot far away from initial spawn points so I can weather that storm as quietly as possible.
