Good day chaps (and chapesses)

Just pre-ordered the game and am currently downloading the client.

Would it be better to go solo or join a tribe?

The game I just came from (darkfall), it wasnt really feasible to stay solo after a certain stage of charcter development, is this game the same?

I do intend to 'clan-up' at a later stage, but can I survive and thrive without one?

Apologies for noob question.

Thankyou in advance

John
