The low numbers, English 1-10 usually stay pretty busy, if you are looking for busy chats.

English 5 is one of the more active channels.

After resisting paying money to play, I finally purchased a couple energy installments. It may be my imagination, but since then, I've been getting alot of mystery shards where I would expect to be getting gear and accesories. Today, I had three hard fought spider battles in a row that resulted in just mystery shards. The end result is that I seem to run out of energy more quickly than I used to. I may be wrong about this, but that's my perception. I've put alot of thought and time into my characters, but it seems as if this game has morphed into less of a gameplay situation.

Smells like bot

How do I get global chat to show the join clan button when I'm trying to promote my clan in chat?

No bot, no answer for you.  Closing.
