I must admit i am not that interested in joining a clan or a ladder competition.
I'm sure many others feel the same way, which is of course is no problem whatsoever, except for : please bear in mind a "clan/club" that is arranging MP games will normally give priorty to it's own members over other people who are not interested in such things.
NBC will always try to help others, and make room in games for them, but
sometimes this is not possible, so my advice is join one, it's free, your will get a lot more games, it makes for more enjoyment and mainly, there is no dis-advantage.
AJ amongst others is doing a fantastic effort on getting things coordinated
He sure is, and NBC are very pleased to have him working so hard for us, and the general Community - why not join in with NBC and give us a try....if you don't like it - you can leave at anytime.
