The Observer Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 A simple question. Will your clan still be open if/when Runescape shuts down? Personally, I'm not really sure. I know of clans that existed before Runescape such as 'The', so it's possible. Obviously though if they move onto another game, activity would decrease judging on the accessibility of the game and how many want to stop for good.

K4ylan Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 I'm not understanding, if Runescape would shut down, are you asking if they would go play another game? ~~~The Harpy List~~~Harpy Facts~~~It's Super Effective~~~The Beginning~~~Harpy Therapy Center~~~Alg~~~Jedi Harpy~~~Rohirrim~~~Attenuation~~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Probably, I think I'll propose WG makes a pact to play Funorb if Runescape ends. :P With love to one, friendship to many, and good will to all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny_TeamDan Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 we'd probably go back to free forums and keep in touch and attempts to make a clan in new games but it'd be dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTH_Dev_Ranges Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Free forums and other games on PS3/XBOX probably. Nearly all of my friends on RS that have PS3 have MW2/Black Ops/FIFA 11 so I'd still game with them.

Uffan5 Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Probably, a lot of CR play other games, probably more so than runescape now.

kuru72 Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 It's possible for some of the top clans to move on to other games, probably MMORPGs as not everyone has a PS3/Xbox360. As for the small clans, I don't think so. It would be a difficult migration, but it would be pretty interesting if most of the top clans move on to another game and continue their rivalries there, involving the other clans of that game.

Edlenchen Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Our clan would close, not necessarily because its all about the game itself, but because members wouldn't be content of just a plain forum. We could also just switch to a completely different game while keeping the same members, but many would lose interest and if the clan did survive, it would be completely different.

DGK Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 We would still like chill in IRC/TS and talk to each other on Forums, Doubt we'd all start playing a new game.

das Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Speaking from experience: It's hard enough to keep a close community together when people move on as it is. When the common bond of the game goes away - people get distant. All of my former clans have tried some measure of keeping in touch - and for the most part it epically fell apart. Communities really need something in common to keep them going and people coming back "Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up, and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better.

mrmyk Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 We have a unit of retireds/community members who have been viewing and posting on the boards for 3-5 years without playing Runescape. I'd imagine a lot of clan members would fade away but those who are stuck in the community, not the game, would be able to continue, at least until they get bored of college football and posting discussions/videos.

Adr1an Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I really dont know what would occur. Much of the community would stay intact in some way. Much like high school to college I think you would keep in touch with some but the majority you would just move on from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
