To be honest (and what is the truth for most people), the real thing that I'm disappointed about is the 3k difference cap on all trades. That doesn't influence my opinion about Bounty Hunter or Clan War Arena at all...just, any points where I refer to Jagex specifically, and not those two aforementioned PvP updates, my main criticism is coming from the trade cap.

Hypnotic Monkey, Jagex didn't destroy PvP because of clan support; the demand for clan support really didn't cause this ridiculous update at all. It was always about stopping RWT. Though I will agree that I never was enthusiastic about the idea of Jagex meddling in clan stuff; and now, I just hope to god that the only updates they ever make again consist of taking back previous ones. Anyway, even if Bounty Hunting and the Clan War Arena are changed, it's almost a sure bet that they'll suck compared to what PvP was. The RWT threat is being greatly exaggerated and Jagex is screwing itself over on this one.

The times be a-changing, my friends...namely, the wilderness. And with it, the history of clans from this point forward. Bounty Hunter: Jagex has stripped PvP away from all of the wilderness, and instead put a huge eyesore in its middle which it now calls "the PKing area", or Bounty Hunter. It's like pking, except...well, read on. Yeah, the Bounty Hunter is, as the quote says, divided by combat levels. Like in pking, you can kill anyone. Like in pking, you lose all your stuff when you die; you're instantly skulled when you enter. However, there are huge differences. First of all, the space takes up about 20% of the traditional wilderness. The levels are segregated (two portals: one for 55-100, and the other for 95+). The place is wide-open, with pretty much no variation in terrain. You can leave at any time you want, unless you kill someone who isn't your bounty. There is no single-combat area. It's not very great, but the following "Clan War" update makes Bounty Hunter seem great for clan wars. Clan War: Three statements, really, sum this up pretty well. No more than 100 people for each side It's P2P You lose nothing when you die (you sit out for the rest of the war when that happens) This would effectively kill two great menaces of clan warring: returning (arguably a menace), and crashing. Of course, it also kills any danger whatsoever in wars, as well as handicaps any clan that has over 100 members. How will clans react to this? I can't be sure. My guess is that they'll all just resort to using the Bounty Hunter minigame, which is like pking but for all of our purposes, stupid (less worlds for it, 1/5 smaller area...could crashing be any easier?). Then there's clan wars which will probably be all but ignored by larger clans because of its member cap and total lack of danger involved. Of course, having 200 people pile each other in their most expensive gear would be fun for a while... Thoughts?

What makes a person a good leader in Runescape is essentially the same as what makes a person a good leader in life. As the essential thing that separates good leaders from great leaders, I would pick maturity. In my eyes, some of the greatest leaders were not the ones that led the strongest clans of their time, nor were some of the leaders that led the strongest clans truly great.

Warwiz, you don't know what you're talking about. Go home.

In-game headquarters = pointless....

Favorite type of clan: Community. Favorite Activities in the clan: Fight pits, fun events. Favorite part of being in a clan? Meeting people that know how to type, talk, and write worth crap. :-s

Read the title: "Most dominant clan to ever exist" DF is fairly new on the scene, and neither Corr/DS have had the same extensive winning streak that DI had. From what it sounds like, the competition is between BDK and DI.

Arrrgh, I wasn't able to attend it. I just got home. How did TA fare?

Very nice. Anyone have a video? It's been a while since I've seen larger wars on vid...not that I've really looked hard. :) Looks like Corr is in another of its good swings?

Roffle.

Gamerr, I agree with most of what you said, but unless I missed something you didn't actually list reasons for disagreeing with the forum changes. As Tallest said, this is only a small piece of a larger process for revitalization in Tip.it. After too much debate, I think the CIC is moving in the right direction, and the forum structure update is only the tip of the iceberg.

I didn't say they weren't, just....well. I'll just say I roll my eyes. I have my opinion, everyone else has their own.

Actually, there's quite a list of Arpking clans. Well, more than people know, but still not that many..though I believe Arpking is dying out. And...I roll my eyes every time I hear the Wilderness Guardians being related to Arpking. Actually, I'm beginning to roll my eyes whenever I hear about Arpking. But especially when I hear about it with WG.
