I've had people go in and out, it's not easy running something from nothing. I can be ridiculed all day, but I like to see y'all do it without recycled members and maintain a curriculum by managing forums, clan chat, recruitment, Discord, dealing with IRL and trying to get everyone on board when they are bunch of social people who don't give a damn it feels like.
I remember when I was in a PK/Warring clan and we were hitting low low #'s. I came up with the idea to go to Runescape's official forums and start recruitment there. The Pros: Gain new members, bring in a new generation of warrers to sustain clanning. The Cons: Effort and time, most people were involved in PvMIng and skilling, They thought PKing or competing in wars was taking the game "Too serious".
We ended up getting a good group of people and I mentored a good batch of them, but once we had the decent numbers to pull 25 people to 30, we didnt have much competition. So I began calling out clans in the runescape official forums and we had fights there. Obviously the fights were very 1 sided, we controlled and dominated our opponents, but after that we disbanded. There just wasnt enough for us to do anymore.
I noticed though, after our little call to these "RSB" type clans, they too began to war more serious. I don't think we started any thing, im certain they were already going in the direction of warring to compete, but the fact that they faced a more "organized" clan really helped them out. Some of these new people Ive seen that are representing their clans passionately were "no-namers" as they call it. They had no background in warring, and its true we all didnt have it at one point. But these people are still fresh, they're still newblood. That up and coming generation of clans pretty much died when OSRS was coming out. Alot of them shifted to osrs and some might still war others are just away from the game. Point is, there are more clans and people in the RSOF, hit them up, war with them, share your views on warring and such. The rs clan community is weird because either your in the RSC side, or you're a nobody. I wonder how many forget about the other side that's playing the game with passion and fun, WITH HONOR lol.
