Hi Larry,
From what I've seen, those belonging to active clans certainly seem to have a lot of fun and bond quickly. As an outsider, I always find it amusing to watch the plot as it unfolds.
About clans being geared towards NWN: that's partly why I didn't dare to approach any of the active clans (not sure if I can commit at this point to gaming in the future) and anyway, I'm not sure if I would fit into any
Anyway, I do find Ironworks a very interesting place to hang around (the diversity of topics is impressive), and hope it stays that way.
