DOA Closed Again

Well, I was a member of DOA when it was restarted, although the leaders decided to close it down again instead of it slowly dwindling to nothing. Since the end of May there were numerous good pking events held by the clan, though with real life pressures on many people, activity levels were not as high as expected.

In the history of DOA, there have been numerous members and Robertwb69 is putting a list together that will eventually list all members of DOA from its very first inception.

There have also been numerous breakoff clans that have formed, or that have ex-doa members at their core. It really is hard to please everyone in any clan you belong to, although in all instances, if the leaders themselves cannot be everpresent at pking events, then overall activity will suffer.

If anyone wants to be apart of the new doa clan then they are welcome to apply for membership at the temporary address of http://newdoa.12.forumer.com/index.php (we have not yet decided on what to do with the name, maybe put it into retirement or make the clan more of a community of friends). With the time changes happening recently more confusion has been thrown into the works and nothing has been fully decided.

If I had not been busy trying to launch an online business site, then I would have looked at driving the clan forward - either in association with my main runescape help site or in association with the remaining community or even alongside an existing clan.

DOA had managed to get ranked 33rd on the RAW list, although we had not warred much and the overall warring on the RAW clan ranks seemed to be very slow going. All I can say is c'est la vie and real life takes precedence over virtual gaming.
