Top 10 Clan: RoT Smaller Clan: Downfall <3:

If so then I am completely mistaken. I play RuneScape solely for my clan and I don't notice every little thing announced. Seeing as it was announced as Bonus XP weekend it looks as if there still is flaws when inactive players like I call it Double XP weekend! (For example) :P Yes, I already made that point about how money is circulated faster where it changes hands. Money was still lost from the economy however which was my point... I didn't use SC hats for Magic during the weekend after 2x XP. The point I'm trying to make it that it's a waste of time as I had to wait all weekend to use my SC Hats to reach the level I aimed for because of the XP I wasn't going to receive. Read the rest of my paragraph to fully comprehend what I mean by this as I can't be bothered to type it out again although I do admit I am guilty of not preparing aswell as I could have. So you think Jagex expected every player to get their RuneScape account completely and perfectly ready for the Bonus XP to start? As soon as the message pops up? Sorry but that's false. I don't log off for the night leaving my character ready to skill and there aren't many who do (unless they're training Combat or a skill where you don't have to move). Of course there are going to be a lot of players who don't read News and Announcements. I personally have my Clan Messages On/Private On with everything else set to Hide when I am not warring. Therefore I didn't see the message saying it was active. The time shouldn't just start when you teleport somewhere. It should start when you want it to as it's your time and your Bonus XP. I was trying to disprove how the original post would fix Bonus XP Weekends. I don't see the point of you highlighting my post about this when I was discussing the topic title.

It's something different and I like it. Congrats Nexus. :thumbup:

Lady Ninane: Why won't you marry Amateurnoob? On a serious note; whats the average time you spend on these forums daily? (Don't know if this question has been asked and it's open for anyone to answer).

Could someone possibly post a link to the store? If so, thank you it's appreciated. I don't think I would buy anything, everyone has their likes and dislikes. It also makes me wonder why the USA has a 40% discount when Jagex is a British company. It would make sense to me to have a 40% discount in Europe because the postage and packaging fees would be much lower. Jagex never ceases to amaze me though, at least they try.

Usually there are Coin drops or you can try Mining ore that may be in the Dungeon or cut branches from the plants growing. I'm not a very good Dungeoneerer so I'm not the best person to ask, but if it helps you then you're welcome.

Okay I'll break down your post part by part by looking at my personal opinion aswell as Jagex's. Announcing the Double Xp Weekend 2 weeks before is solely for good business. Businesses are made to gain a profit unless they're non-profitable organisations (charities). Jagex knew school was starting for their worldwide base of players and a lot of players cancel their membership to focus on their schoolwork. By doing the Double XP the weekend just before school starts, Jagex has hoped that players will buy membership for that 1 month extra, therefore gaining more profit. You have to understand that if Jagex really really cared about the GE, and what it can and can't do, then they would have done something by now as there is a growing amount of Merchanting clans and clanchats. By announcing it earlier anyway, it's allowed the general flow of money on the game to circulate faster with more members buying items and spending cash. This is not a bad thing. Although prices go up, they go up for the better as more money is spent and taken out of the economy. Something that is important right now. It's a Bonus XP Weekend. A Weekend is 'the end of a week, esp. the period of time between Friday evening and Monday morning'. It would be unfair for Jagex to advertise such things if it's only going to last 1 day. It's not fair that members also pay a month of members only for 1 day of extra XP. Jagex is rather loyal to their customers and I praise the decision they made to allow the weekend to be more flexible knowing that people would be busy at the same time as preparing themselves for school and the end of summer. I do agree with you that prices on the GE will recover faster but once again this weekend wasn't a bad thing for the RS economy despite the prices raises. I have my own opinions about the multiplier. I personally think that you should have been able to activate your own timer with a click. For me, I didn't actually realise my time I had and lost half my 2.7x XP due to this. I'm sure I can say the same about a lot of players. When you think about how many people might have done this, it makes this weekend feel purely like a Marketing scheme rather than something for the players. I'm probably being too harsh though. I agree with your points about players being under pressure to use every minute wisely, so a personified timer would work better in my opinion. Turn it off when you don't want the double XP. There were times I didn't want 1.5x XP. If it's double XP, it should actually be double XP for the weekend. I believe that if you look at the averages and work out the maths, for some players who played for about 20ish(?) hours that overall it wasn't even Double XP for them, more like a little bit extra xp. Why would I use a 1.5x XP Multiplier for Magic when I can get Stealing Creation Hats and gain 2x the XP from 1 Stun for example? There's a lot of flaws in the Double XP Weekend, yes. But for future improvements there has to be a certain level of what's possible otherwise you'll end up with more flaws because of far-fetched plans. Sorry I posted so much against you, but what you posted wouldn't fix a Double XP Weekend.

Didn't VR post a win whenever they had at least 30 more people than other clans. Oh wait nvm, you needed a bigger numerical difference than that to win. :roll: Grats Downfall, super effort TR. <3:

Happy Birthday Downfall. I'm astonished that it's already been 2 years. I remember the rivalry we had when I was Legendz Leader and now the friendship between True Ownage and yourselves. Hope for many more birthdays DF, keep strong and keep going.

Unfortunately we had to drop a few, thanks to those who dropped. True Ownage Starting: 24 Dragonwood Starting: 17 ___________________ We took a slight advantage but DW battled back taking the lead. We then stepped it up with some good tanking and our styles gave us fast K0's with some good switching from Range to Melee and back. We took the lead and never looked back, eventually winning 10-0. Well done TO, thanks for the DW it's always a pleasure. True Ownage Ending: 10 Dragonwood Ending: 0 ___________________ Great job TO, good fight DW. - Jack

Nice job CK. :thumbup:

You'll make accusations about Solace members sniping (with no proof) yet you won't mention who the snipers were from because you weren't sure. That's kind of disrespectful and, to be frank, asinine considering it's simply untrue. I could be mistaken but I'm pretty sure that he was saying that Solace was having problems aswell as BK with regards to being sniped. :unsure: Well done BK, good effort Solace shame about the crashers.

You're better off asking members that you've recruited when you've recruited them.

Congrats to you 3! Nice to have you back Y Guy. <3:

What do you think about spying? It shouldn't really be done but clans will do anything to gain an advantage over others nowadays. Does your clan spy on another clan? No. Would you say it's NH? Perhaps.

Couldn't be there. :( Looks like we did great again. Well done T0 and thank you for the fight CSF.

Well, if I was clanless, what would make me interested are the views the clan has. For example if it's an honour clan, where the clan is directed. But to be honest the community would be a massive part to me, aswell as the clan's warring ability.

Honestly if you're taking offence to someone suggesting to an allied clan of yours to do pvp more often, you really are just looking for an argument. So if you consider that trolling, then you can hardly say you're not trolling Tk. The thing that bugs me is the amount of people pressurising clans in general to do PVP on these forums. I think the Leaders of clans here are more than capable in knowing when to make PVP events for their clans, I can personally confirm that with T0 as we're not ready yet. I'm not personally taking offense here, I was just trying to prove a point relating to the first post. Unfortunately people seem to take this out of context and take it as an insult or a troll. I'm not going to even bother posting again here because sometimes an argument with a clique of people is like talking to a brick wall. And this seems to be the case.

Couldn't happen to a nicer team.

I'm pretty sure DF have beaten every clan TK managed to beat in the wilderness, and considering TK had to close and reopen as a PVP clan you shouldn't really be telling them to PVP mate. Grats DF, better luck next time BK. I can't really understand why a clan leader who has no willingness to help his clan with their own ablility to get into PVP talks about the Wilderness so constantly. I don't understand the point of you saying that TK had to close and reopen to get into pvp. The first TK, did do pk trips, they weren't that successful though in all honesty. The second TK did pvp alot more and was more consistant within their performances. Whats it honestly matter though, TK died the members have moved on, maybe you should do the same. Okay, once again I'll bold and colour the statement I was trying to get at, as you clearly missed it. I'm not trolling TK, I respect the fact that they could pull 120 opts to PVP without a problem after pulling the same in CWA. The point I was trying to get at was TK closed and then reopened as a more PVP orientated clan after some of the ex members had gained some PVP experience. I don't see how an ex-TK rank should be telling Downfall where to war when they have made the transition from pure-CWA warring to PVP and CWA warring which is a lot harder and takes a lot more time. You obviously seem to misunderstand a lot of people's posts on these forums. Maybe you should focus posting on RSC, because nobody here wants to see you bring up PVP warring on nearly every topic you post on because clans will take this step when they're ready not to suit your needs of a more active wilderness.

Trust me, we war clans that will challenge ourselves and make us better by either learning from mistakes or simply gaining more experience. CSF today and Poison tomorrow, pretty sure they'll outpull us but we'll give it a go!

Well done both it seems. :)

Haven't personally heard of Monocromatic, but it looks as if they have a really bright future if they can pull 30/36 of their memberlist. Hope to hear more about them. Well done FD despite the numerical disadvantage. :thumbup:

By GMT clans, I'm assuming you mean European clans as you include LDK who are Lithuanian, and Fools/RKoF who are from Finland and which timezones are GMT+1/GMT+2, etc. I have a different opinion, I don't think there are a shortage of GMT clans. It's just that these clans aren't recognised so much because they pull less people. I could name all the GMT/European based clans I know now and there will only be a handful more in the EST-based timezone (lets not forget the USA has 4 timezones). It's just that so many people have made teams from the EST based timezones which makes the overall comparison look a lot different. However, there have been big name casualties like 2M, RDC, LF but these clans have made Lowlands and LDK. So overall, I think the amount of players in clanning from the GMT timezones is decreasing but there are really plenty of clans to choose from, but none who're high ranked except for The Rising, LDK and TRWF.
