Hum...there is no tribe, who massed recruit, and was able to keep up for more than 3-4 months. But who knows.
bad thing about mass recruiting, is that they take spies as well...
I have to totally disagree. I can name 2 tribes on w37 alone that are top 20 that mass recruited to get there, and have stayed there.
R.L. and Synrg both mass recruited and made top 20. both have been there for quite some time.
go back to w18 and look at Apoc (the entire family) which started as a tribe of friends coming from another game, but turned to mass recruitment to close the gaps between their villages. Apoc, and all of their family tribes are top 10 on that server, and all mass recruit/merged their way to the top.
