Please actually post your thoughts and not flame.
Well for past few hours now i been working on a little vid for fatality on our clan history and while the emotional music was playing i was thinking of my the past.
What i mean by this is that back when i was little kid playing runescape i use to sleepover my friends house and we would all play runescape together throughout the night. I remember when i first became a pure i was so excited to get 70 range. To me back then 70 range was the biggest goals i could get back in 05. Even through me being such a noob with 70 range, i worked hard everyday to get that next range with such excitement. I remember when i was in 6th grade i started walking to my friends house and doing math in my head to see how much money i would have left after i bought a glory and my frirst pair of ranger boots.
I also remember back when my friend called me up in his high pitched voice saying "i got Burst i got burst". I did not really understand what i meant by that, but he told me that there was these new powerful magic spells that just came out called the Ancient Spell Book. I was so excited that day, because i went on my friends main, and i spent over 5mill in runes bursting at castle wars on his account. After few months, all the good pures were able to start bursting in the wild, which helped so much to get that 60k dds drop once you killed some noob in monk robes.
After awhile more and more people started to realizing pures dominated the wild. As more pures were being made, i remember i was still a 1 defence pure about to get 94mage. Back then maybe 1 out of every 100 pures were able to barrage. I remember me and one friends on rs would just dominate lvl 1 varrock pking and pked about 10-20 dds's an hour.
At around this time little pk teams that ran around the wild started to become more organized as people got older. Clans like MM and FOE started out with just few friends just pking. These clans and teams were nothing big maybe 10-20 people going out at any time of the week pking one another.
As these clans that we all know and love now, got bigger so did the pure community itself. I remember every time i went out pking it always felt like i never did it before. What i mean by this is, hopping world by world not knowing what was going to happen gave me some type of trill to keep playing this game. However it all ended when the wild was taken away.
Even though the wild was taken out the pure community still grew rapidly day by day. Even though i was getting older i still thought i can never live without runescape.
Nowadays it feels like runescape is more of a place to flame then to actually have fun. Clans would rather flame one another and call them selves the #1 pure clan then actually just go out an pk. Everything thing about the pure community nowadays has to be organised like we were in a staff meeting trying to run a business. Back when the pure community was unorganised it actually made the game have a some type of trill to keep us playing day by day.
The pure community to me lately seems like it is dieing off. For instance, if you go to lumby in a f2p world there is no more people coming out of TUT island. Back in the day there use to be a massive amount of people scrambling to make new pures which use to be fun to do. With all the people going 45+ defence, and the fact that no one is making new pures, what would the pure community actually come to be in 2012 or 2013.
This topic is really just about, how we the pure community needs to put the fun back into runescape. I mean out of anyone i like to win every war, prep or mini i am in. However maybe always trying to win or trying to be the best is actually killing the fun that use to be "Runescape".
If you actually read this topic fully through, post your thoughts on it. Even better post how you think we can make the pure community fun again.
