Please Nexon! Do something about this real soon! You don't wish all the clans to start closing down, do you?

Notice nobody is responding to our comments? Maybe our comments can't be found like our alliances. UK super greens....alliance in darkness of new joiners :(

The only response I get in customer service is that the issue is being looked into and we should advertise on the forum. As if new recruits check the forum! They run a search and don't find us. Remember when we had ten new joiners flood in after weeding inactives? And it was pretty much immediate?

Interesting idea that, advertising on the forum. When I look at those that have already posted about lack of new players and realise that they already do advertise their alliance. It is a jumble already of multiple posts for the same alliances and 20 pages to scroll through. That makes the thought of even contemplating advertising my alliance less than zero. Not that I was going to anyway. I would rather keep my core crew and play with fewer good players.

That is a bit harsh, if you advertised early I might have joined your alliances first. :)

Advertise on the forum? How many players do actually come to the forum? Nexon must be thinking that their game is still as popular as a year ago.

Nearly two weeks after patch, still only one new member joined (and was removed after promptly missing all war attacks lol).

We have been lucky because we had 1 friend, and then two people we competed against join us. But its nothing like before. And I bet its really starting to hurt some alliances.

Nexon when will you just put it back the way it was, this is disaster for your game. Please change it!

I'm sure they are trying to kill off Active Alliances. No response says how much they care.

Ironangel, Seraphine, can you please help us? Like other alliances who have called out the problem on this thread, we're facing a tough time recruiting new members. We're seeing this as a trend across all of the 8 alliances in our family. The situation is quite acute, and it would benefit the game and the community a lot if the development team can address this on priority.
Thanks in advance, and looking forward to hearing a positive response and a swift action to address the issue.
Your game loving alliances are making a sincere and a humble request here. Please acknowledge. Thank you!

Hi Folks! We'll take a look into the issue. When I look on mine, for example, I see ~50 alliances in the My Alliance tab (I am not in an alliance), ranging from 12,000 medals to 100 Medals, with anywhere from 1-45 members. Searching will require at the least a name, and other filters are optional. Maybe the algorithm for selecting the initial Alliances displayed needs to be tweaked? No idea, that's speculation on my part. I'll see what I can dig up.

Thanks for looking at it Ironangel! The experience of nearly every active alliance is a bad one right now. Fingers crossed it gets put back to where it was before, it worked great for those searching and those that had active alliances.

Lol ... it doesn't matter. I will not advertise or seek out players to join me and my guys. We will be just fine plodding along.

Thanks Ironangel. Whatever the "blockage" is, it has happened from the time of the last update. Alliances are panicking as our members are dwindling!

This is getting ridiculous... We had 46 members, then we kicked 3 members due to poor war performance at 13:00 CET yesterday. At ca 22:00 CET we got our first new member. Bringing us 44. We are still at 06:40 (next day) at 44 members. That means we got one new member in the first 18 hrs after the "kick-a-you" event. Wonder how long we will have to look for the next...
At least I hope the new members we get pass our new member test (which is to say "hello" in the chat the first 20 min), if not we need to kick and wait an eternity again...

Thanks Ironangel for looking into the issue. I Guess most of us who have voiced out here aren't among the TOP clans, mine only has a minimum medal of 400. The previous update did hurt us a lot with 1-2 new recruits over the past few weeks. Hopefully the issue can get resolved soon, or at least reroll back to the previous alliance gate before 3.7.

Really thanks so much!

Your experience is about 50x better than most others, scarily enough lol. We lowered our medals 2 weeks ago, and have gotten one member in that entire time. Usually we fill up within an hour or two when we lose someone. Please fix it Nexon! Just roll it back! Youre killing alliances and people are leaving your game for not being able to find fun and active teams!

Quick update. We got our first new member since right after the patch, about two weeks. Guess it was just luck. 1 in two weeks is going to be really bad if thats how it will work from here on out.

Also, for the first time since wars began, it took us nearly 5 hours to find an opponent at 35v35. Its usually instant or within 15 mins. Could this be a side effect of shrinking alliances? Longer war queues for us doing 35v35?

One more thing, we looked up an old old alliance some of our members came from, it is called "Intelect plague" (yes spelled incorrectly). They've miraculously filled up to 48 people. Their leader is inactive for nearly 200 days, as are most other members, and there are no co leaders so there will be no wars or growth possible in the alliance, but it looks to be about a dozen people dumped in there recently. This is the new experience for those searching for a new alliance. Frightening!!!

Ohh....interesting observation. I would have to agree that is would take some toll on the amount of available opponents. I know I used to do nothing but 35vs and now it's hard to pull off a 25vs. As it seems I'm not the only one with a slowly shrinking alliance!

I'm also joining the ranks of the dwindling alliance. For the last year, keeping a 45 person roster was effortless. It seemed everytime someone was kicked, we would aquire another. As of today's post-war kicks, I'm down to 34. That's the lowest I've ever seen my numbers outside of start-up. So I turn to again to recruit from the forums, but hardly see anything from that...something needs addressing...
