I actually played Clan Lord for a bit last night. I was reminded of how great my clan mates are. We hunted in noids, and generally had a very fun time. I laugh a lot when I play with these guys.

Clan Lord keeps getting bigger and bigger. For some reason I just don't find new areas all that interesting. Other than these areas being slight variations on a theme (different graphics, basically) they generally exist to increase buy-in, by making you spend time to get there, and offering marginally greater rewards. Frankly, a game that simulates "commuting" isn't fun to me.

So, don't bother asking me about new areas. If it takes me 15 minutes to get there, that means I have to spend 30 minutes round trip doing something I don't really care to do, to get to some place that really isn't that different from any other place in Clan Lord.

Of course, your mileage may vary.
