Closure Of A Circle

My clan in Runescape, Sacred Templars, closed and disbanded 27th August after 1 year of rising to compete among the best clans. 151 total members with an average combat of 118+ were left shocked and saddened by the news.

Many players are not sure which clan they will join for future battles - as many had fought only for Sacred Templar glory. It is another blow to honorable clans throughout Runescape, there are now very few in existence.

At this time I am not sure what I will do, as I have not had much time ingame and not been able to concentrate on playing Runescape itself due to other real life issues.

On a brighter note, another clan has formed and is gaining a lot of former ST members, however, there are numerous people who have decided to stop playing runescape while others have given up and decided to join a less honorable clan.

Only time will tell whether former glories can be achieved again through the emergence of Eternal Honour.

Sacred Templars Defeat TRWF

A planned PK run-in saw an epic battle between Sacred Templars (ST) and The Runescape Warhungers Federation (TRWF).

Sacred Templars had been out in the wilderness and had heard there were a few clans out and that Divine Forces (DF) was massing ready to begin their PK Trip. We then heard TRWF had a large number of people and our leader contacted their leader and arranged a PK run-in.

Starting opts:

TRWF 320opts = 107 people
ST 282 opts = 94 people

The epic battle lasted almost 2.5 hours and for most people involved, it was the best wilderness encounter for a long time.

Initially, TRWF had the upperhand as they outnumbered us and were able to take out any ST members quickly who had became isolated. As time passed by, both ST and TRWF lost a few members due to the time of the run-in. TRWF appeared to lose more people than ST as both clans done an admiral job in returning multiple times.

In the end, ST were victorious with around 210 opts (70 people) grouped together when the fighting ended. Overall, this was a great wilderness experience as there were no other clans that intervened, although there were many looters who may well have been the real winners due to the amount of rune sets that were left on the ground.

Jagex Consider Clan Support?

In July, Jagex ran a poll on how people play Runescape. This was a chance for the clan community as a whole to make an impact and show Jagex the number of people who enjoyed the clan worlds. However, due to the options presented, many people missed this opportunity to give some great feedback to Jagex about how important the runescape clan community was.



As you can see from the results, option 3 (I play with a large group/clan of people only received 7% of the votes. This is unlikely to get Jagex to change their views on introducing a fully functioning clan system into Runescape. However, 43% of the people who voted did choose option 4. This may well have been a wasted vote and if any were involved with a clan, they missed the opportunity to influence Jagex decision making.

Just remember, next time if you see a vote that includes an option that mentions clans, then you should make a wise choice and not effectively waste the vote.
