This is a point well worth putting some emphasis on. Clusters, back in the day this and that, used to be a bridge between newbies and older players for many. Building up geography in order to encourage ("force") more cooperation between players outside set alliances (e.g. a randomly shuffled pack of people to cooperate with each round) is something that could do the game a world of good in terms of making it more open and easier to join to where the fun in the game actually is.
