Thanks. Players must always have something to do so they don't quit. I would not make Epics available for at least 2 weeks, and would only 1 castle available. I would also limit clans on 30 members and no alliances to avoid zerg and force more clans to be created. If you see the server dying, you stick with the server and find a way to provide a good expansion. A new raid boss, a new item, something to keep the players going.
