too many groups

there are far too many and many are dead.  you should limit group creation to diamond members only.  they are the ones most likely to work to develop and keep a group going.

you might limit team creation to diamond and platinum for the same reason.

one might even consider only letting paying members be part of a team or group.

i think the site should start over on the idea of teams.  the teams should just be capital cities of the world.  this would create the possibility of maybe 170 or so teams and only diamond members could choose a city and start a team for that city.  this would help the site by encouraging more diamond players. 

groups could be as varied as they are now for they represent the idea of community per interest.
