Hi, we recently did a publication about the Death of Runescape Clans. It's actually a quite interesting how the clan world actually turned into a social / communistic state over the years. If you view the clan world from its "golden era" up until now you will see the merging of larger clans and the start of teams created a social hierarchy. The Jagex Cup itself is geared only to the thought of all clan's fighting. Small clans understand they have no chance and large clans will constantly fight each other. In the clan world it comes down to Resources aka : Members and potential members. To a large clan, smaller clans are potential members they can swallow up once they reach a higher level and crave more daily action that a large clan can provide. Small clan's rarely battle and will stick mostly to a community style or PvM style. By doing this a small clan will always remain small because there is little overall voice in the larger clan presence. Over the last few years this eliminated mid sized clans completely. DF, EoS, RoT, DI, etc will continue to always fight each other. They will control the wilderness completely and leave no resources for small clans to survive in the pvp realm. Jagex cannot keep up with the Jagex Cup's and something else needs to be created in order to create a life in the Runescape Clan World again. Pvm is great but only consist of members mainly from other clans.
