    Well, for me mostly not that far - but the only time I was in an alliance close to the top has indeed left some people in my buddy list.

    Other times it was mostly me and my IRL friends and their friends and so on in alliances I’d be let into.

    But - yeah. For some people it was like real war, with all the logistics and obligatory setup of a second and a third so that your account would never be AFK when a few thousands off troops with catapults are coming for ya. I still don’t understand how they’d have the time, with university and school and work.
