Reading over the forums the past few weeks I have noticed that there is too much focus on being driven into securing a higher position over another clan and showing your superiority. What ever happened to the fun of being in a clan, and making your clan what you want it to be and enjoy the game how you want to enjoy it?
I understand that we all play this game for one thing; F2P & P2P Warring & PKing. When we all started playing this game we all joined up to a clan to have fun with fellow players on the game and to enjoy each others company whilst we all urge our own personal quest on Runescape. The majority of the players have moved on from enjoying the clan that they are in to taking a different approach to what purpose we have all joined our clans for. If our clan is all about Warring, and trying to beat certain clans to produce propaganda to try and sway the minds of individuals that we personally honestly don't care about what is the point?
Clan's being good or bad in the wilderness really do mean nothing. Clans stick together because there having fun, and each individual clan will find there own way to make there game play time enjoyable. A lot of us dont look back on our clan history as what did a certain clan achieve, they look back on what fun memories and moments they have had in a clan. When you catch up with an old clan members from a clan from a few years ago, you will find yourselves talking about memories you had in the clan and not about what the clan achieved as a whole.
Not many clans are left out there, and even with the few left none are on a regular basis having fun community events and playing the game together in various different ways among clan members. A lot of clans have been said to be rubbish, and joke clans of the clan world. To them, this means nothing. They enjoy there clan for what it is, and do what it is they want to be. Yes, every clan wants to be the best and prove there dominance but to do that there needs to be fair level of work & play in the clan. How on earth the Ronin vs Poison fight got to 25 pages is a clear indication that clans only care about there image and have ruled out the prospect of having fun.
So my question to you today, as future, past or present clanners where does the fun lay in your clan, and is it really what you want out of your clan? And can you as an individual strengthen your clans community?
I believe, what makes a clan is its community and activity. Clans who find ways to have fun that makes members interactive in there community have the tendency to make the clan make it as a clan.
