Jimmer when we mean the AU community was only clan based we mean that the AU clans basically held up the community. The only other people that played were the few rejects of the community
mark27 that tryharded their ratio/boosted or the very odd random person. Basically if you took out all the Clan players from AU there would have been no AU. Obviously not 100% of the players were based in clans but in a realistic estimation I would say 60-75% of people from AU were from clans. Ask anyone who have good knowledge about the AU community and they will basically say the same sort of thing
