Epidemic's leadership has yet to prove anything since 2009/NME. Luckily, 'having a clue in p2p' isn't too much of an issue anymore as its pretty straightforward now with the lack of alot of p2p items introduced post 2007, which will benefit us. 2006/2007 was when the majority of us Epidemic people played regularly, so that suits us. Epidemic was always 'decent' in p2p the last time round, we just never focused on that particular server. As for batmans quote... :rolleyes: lmao such an easy server it's so easy Haha are you trying to suggest the p2p server is difficult, especially the 07 p2p server?

Think you've got it the wrong way round; you have to do 'your part' first and THEN people spread the word, aha. What is there to spread right now? The forum is in a state of disrepair with topics from years back all over, the websites skin isn't as attractive as other modern forums (Not just RS, but across the board), et cetera et cetera. There is no staff team. There is nothing in the pipelines about what this site can provide that others can't. Not trying to flame or anything but brutal honesty is needed if your serious about this. If people can see that your serious about the entire thing and are willing to put effort in, they'll reward that with their own effort. Until then, relying on the sense of nostalgia can only get the forum so far.

So much nostalgia in these posts, never realized that the posts extended all the from 2009 > 2013. The pinnacle of pure clanning is held in the posts in these forums aha, some legendary topics. https://www.pure-warfare.com/topic/5031-1/ 15k views and 500 replies across 25 pages?!?! Thanks for putting the site back up, had a fun hour or two checking out some old posts haha.

Everyone does :)

Was good fun, shame we had to wait so long

1-25 defence LPC

Nice, looked like fun

We had 20-25 people I think. Don't see a problem with that?

aha was fun. http://epidemic-rs.net/index.php?/topic/483-02032013-epidemics-first-fight-vs-excel/

Looking forward to it

Yeah, unfortunately most clans are led by idiots

Goodluck, enjoyed the fights between NME and TH last year or whenever, they were pretty fun. Hope to see your clan becoming a powerhouse again

I hope so

And you remember every version :)

In 2007, a clan called Epidemic existed, led by Jib and Bob, two legendary figures in the pure community. Being a low level clan, Epidemic was built up correctly, right up until the final day of the wilderness, a full out war with our rivals. We convincingly won that war, and the day after, the wilderness was torn from us. Fast forward to 2009; Epidemic V2. The pinnacle of successful, Epidemic grew from a group of level 50s to the #1 Pure clan in the F2P server. The moment that this was realised? Our resounding victory over MM. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOxTTxvTLC4 We had a community like no other. Hell, what other clan could mass 50 people in order to move a pixelated *****? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_2HKRzdZG4 And then it closed. After various other successful projects from the different members of the clan, such as NME, Epidemic has returned to where we fondly remember it from; Old School Runescape. Don't get it wrong; this isn't some diluted version of a past clan. This is the original lineup of our hugely successful clan. Jib, Bob, Ivp, and Plode will reunite for the sole purpose of reviving Epidemic and continuing our incredible legacy. The first few weeks will be sketchy, but we're here to have fun on a game we all remember from our earlier runescapeing in a relaxing environment. we, as a staff team, wish other clans the best of luck in the re-emerging of their own respective clans, hopefully the pure community prospers again. To anyone thinking about getting involved, we're doing it with a little bit of a twist... Check out more on our forums Due to the fact everyone is level 3, ALL are welcome to sign up to our newly created forums and idle in our IRC, #Epidemic An 'Semi-Democratic' rank system. 1 - 10 Defence until further notice.

So, as many of you have read, RS 2007 servers are potentially on the horizon. This entire post takes into account that the 750k votes are reached, which in its self probably isn't too likely, but the possibility that we could be reliving our childhood memories (or indeed desecrating them) is still something that might happen. What does it mean for us if 750k votes are reached? The 'Pure clanning community' is reset. No clans exist and have to be migrated from either their graves or battlescape/other private servers, on a brand new slate. New clans will spring up to take the reins from clans that chose not to reopen, with competition hanging in the balance as there is no benchmark yet. The people who decide to play in clans and lead said clans are the 'die hard' pure clanners, as the majority of the community has seemingly moved on with their live, meaning the member base will be more dedicated and mature than perhaps the memberbase of 2012, when the game was on a downward spiral. Everyone is level 3, Swordfish arn't available immediately, Rune scims are difficult to come by for the first few weeks, and everyones PK'ing with either rag tag gear or overpriced stuff. Pack mentality wins, and having PK'ing teams slash clans is beneficial for the sake of gear trading and survival, as well as individual Pk'ing and training skills/killing monsters. With 2007 PK worlds, Pures can thrive again with the absence of all the overpowered gear (both f2p and p2p) such as dung gear, and all the godswords and all that stuff. Pures will be relevant again like no time since the last time we could play on 2007 servers... back in 2007. Like I said previously, the chances of F2P worlds returning are slim, I doubt 750k people care about it all that much. However, if by some stroke of luck 750k votes are reached, the community HAS to begin its ascent again. It can only grow. If people have learned from the horrifying fall from grace during the 2011/2012 period of pure clanning, I'm hoping that the community has changed and are willing to be more liberal in their attitudes. Keeping the three points above in mind, it is logical to assume that the community will be more mature, and more balanced, meaning that competition will flourish, as everyone is within the same tier strength wise. With a more mature member base, issues such as defense caps or lack thereof, honour rules or lack thereof, and a whole range of other issues could be discussed logically by clan leaders, learning from past mistakes and creating a community that can continue to thrive and grow. Alot of people say that the 2007 period is their perfect time for pure clanning. It won't be the same as those glory days, nothing can recreate that nostalgia. However, these servers have the potential to be the spark of life that reinvigorates this community to a level approaching decent competition. The process of growth is one of the most fun things about this game for me, and I know that should 750k votes be reached growth will be EVERYWHERE on these servers. I know its early days, but the potential is worth thinking about. With this topic, it is clear to see I have hope it'll turn out well for the future of the pure community. Discuss in this topic how you think it'll turn out, and what do you think will happen in terms of important issues to the community such as clans reopening, the entire defense and honour debate, et cetera?

Interesting news, looking forward to seeing what happens

Interesting news for the remnants of the community left here. Needless to say, for even a slight chance that it may reboot the community, I think 750k votes would need to be reached. Whilst p2p clans would reopen, the community at a large has always focused on F2P mainly. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens

I took particular delight in the words "number one rs06 pure clan".

:)

Looks good, bet its a nice little community :)

I'm curious, is there any f2p on private servers?
