I don't know if this is a bug or a feature, but if it's a feature, it's very disconcerting. A new city not in a FS yet is searching for a FS to join. The game only ever offers them two possible FS. Clicking the "Get new choices" button continues to display the same 2 fellowships. Even checking back several hours later, it's still the same two FS, which makes me wonder if the offerings only change once these are full. If you click to view the details of the FS being offered, it's a a roster of all new cities, which means the game is potentially funneling all new players into new FS generally headed by new Archmages on purpose. This is going to be terrible for the game if it's an intended function because it's promoting new players into situations where they're likely to be led by people that don't know the game much more than they do, creating a blind leading the blind situation. On mobile, if you click the rank number under the profile image and go to the FS tab, it only lists the top 50 FS on the server, which are unlikely to accept raw new players, so the new player is pretty much gonna have to accept the pitiful 2 FS offerings given by the game. New players now have very little options as to what their first FS experience is going to be unless they already know the name of an existing FS to search for. Considering a functional FS changes the dynamic of the game, this is very very very very very very very very bad for the game.
