      IRC Nickname: Haligonian Group: Ex-Member Posts: 121 Member No.: 2444 Joined: November 2, 2010 Total Events Attended: 21    | I have only just been accepted as a trial member but i'd like to talk about why i wanted to join this clan. I have noticed after coming back to RS a few month ago, this runescape isn't as it once was. Places used to be buzzing with conversation/arguments/debate, every skilling spot i go to is silent even though there are lots of players there. My home world is 71, a place i once loved for a community that it seems is now dying apart from a small group, no matter where i went people were socialising and now people train in silence. I even miss the spammers of catherby fishing which i used to hate. I wanted to join this clan because i heard that it still has a good active community going which is what i miss. The only thing i think of to explain what has happened is that it is partly due to people botting but it can't be the whole story, any thoughts? PS. Thanks for the welcome i have had from everybody i have spoken to and hi to anyone i havn't.  --------------------

Clans are less friendly to each other because they just want to look after themselves now. It's all about getting the next win. Nothing is more important than the win. It's really sad, but I'm confident it will get better once people realise how it's become. --------------------  |

 IRC Nickname: Sativas Group: Elite Guardian Posts: 2255 Member No.: 1305 Joined: August 29, 2008 Total Events Attended: 155 | I know what you mean. Everywhere on rs is quiet as hell now compared to back then. You could prob do some dungeoneering and find some people willing to interact. --------------------  The Ultimate Skilling and Combat Badges Updated June 17th, 2011        |

| IRC Nickname: Fire Lion Sword Group: Emeritus Posts: 1189 Member No.: 103 Joined: January 4, 2008 Total Events Attended: 3 | I would have to disagree, mostly. I'd only started playing again after about 3 years. I had some really nice conversations with groups of random people while skilling, so, from my experience, that aspect of the community still exists and is still accessable. Though, there may be something to be said about how to access it, and in which case, I would agree that it may be different, possibly more difficult than in earlier days. RS does seem as though it's past its Golden Age, but I'm probably just being biased. -------------------- --------- 獅の炎 ----------  ----------- 忍☯者 ----------- |

 IRC Nickname: rachellove Group: Council Posts: 6955 Member No.: 173 Joined: January 31, 2008 Total Events Attended: 305 | I totally agree with you. The thing I notice is that people used to have bad reps about being higher levels and snobs. I was always like that will never happen to me. It hasn't but the lower lvls are not friendly and sometimes down right rude. I try to help others and often start conversations. I'm often recognized in the game from my time fishing, cooking and woodcutting. I used to tell so many random stories and play games with people to pass the time away. Now they watch TV and ignore each other. Today, I happened to be at the bank at Castle Wars and two other random people talked about this same thing with me. I remember taking clan mates fishing and laughing our butts off about how you could get people to do funny things. Like my stripping game or the naked dock lol. --------------------  Thank you Garrett and Dallar. “The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them.

I always speak to people while farming.  .I'd rather less people at bandits tbh, cbf doing armoured zombies quest atm. -------------------- A Revolution without dance is a Revolution not worth having at all Lightbulbs die my sweet, I will depart |

 IRC Nickname: DG_Keanu Group: Council Posts: 4782 Member No.: 2033 Joined: August 25, 2009 Total Events Attended: 173 | Just look at W1/W2 GE. Back in the days of Falador, it was a lag-fest. Nowadays there's about 1/6th of how many people used to be there. The wilderness? Less worlds, but less people? No doubt the RS community is shrinking. --------------------  [05:42] <+WG_Keanu> I think I got a semi just looking at the pic [05:42] <%kat> same |
