Update: Right now 28 fams are able to start and Bramblerose told in their latest newspost they will add another 5 tomorrow. There will be a VOTD about how many there will be able to start later...

It seems like the fam.limit atm. is 14 families in total, but this won't be the ultimate amount of families ingame, so it will be raised, it seems like.

The admins have said, that more will be announced in an upcoming news post.

So people have to be patient and await what's going to happen.

[19:31:09] <+JTR> Is it true that the fam.limit is only 14 atm.?

It is rumoured that the amount of families would increase/progress during the version. This has not been confirmed yet!
