This is the harsh reality about FCs:

They are small and closed groups of friends of which you probably won't end up being a part. So to speak and no matter how bad it sounds, you are just another number.

At first they sell you the idea of super-friendship and good vibes, but that dissolves faster than cigarette smoke.

I've been in this game for two years and as many years in MMOs. Normally clans, fcs and so on are more a tool for the owner to make money than a social group.

My advice is that within the same try to meet someone and from there you start some friendship. But normally the group of people that make up the FC won't even call you to walk the dog unless they really need you for something.
