Bonus for new players (shadow weapon/armor etc.)? - nonsense. GF has already a lot of things that help new players (free buffs, free teleports until 40, shadow weapons, commons, 2nd class shortcut etc.)
Free clan lvl3 for new clans - really? I play alone in my clan (no need for one-race clan among players I suppose). And you know what? Upgrading clan to lvl 3 wasn't a big thing AT ALL.
C'mon people - this server is supposed to be HARDER than most on the "market" - and let this stay this way...
