Thanks to the Discord, I'd say we have a more tightly knit group and that could enable us to withstand that threat.

As long as we're not so tightly knit that new players feel excluded. It's an idea that's been tossed around a few times and I personally have been accused of by more than one disgruntled player. So making the game more open in order to make new players want to stick around if definitely a long term goal of mine.
