I would like to challenge, however, all these players coming out of the woodwork to say how awesome Fontan and Aurvandil are, how there's no clan, how people are only complaining because they're losing [...] to link to their family pages in their profile. So we can get an idea of just how "objective" some of this support is.
I would like to see this or at least identify your character that we might know where you're coming from (including any potential bias).
Investigations in Aurvandil and, to a lesser extend in Fontan, revealed that the military as well as the economy of those realms is working like clockwork with almost no in-game communication.
In the interest of full disclosure, we also found that the alleged clan is not acting aggressively exclusive. We have seen characters join the realm and be welcome. However, to the best of our knowledge, they are not integrated into the alledged clan and receive none of the suspected OOG communications.
This is the crux - an investigation having been made. A lack of IG communication points to clan activity. Unless, there is another explanation? A smattering of IG msgs to other players is not proof that there isn't nor does a slow trickling in of characters from elsewhere.
The timing of the complaints also does not matter. Investigations will naturally follow complaints.
