Discussion to begin here. Give ideas on what you feel should be made of this update and what benefits can we gain from keeping to Friend Chat or converting to Clan Chat after this update the threw the game back into chaos on April 12th 2011.

Thus far...

1) "World 9 Headquarters" page on the clan area of RuneScape is the main information of our group.

2) "Catherby" friend chat ranks per 99s. Chat Admins will remain Generals on there.

3) "Catherby" clan chat only accepts registered forum users. Ranks will be decided later based on events/activeness. Chat Admins will become Admins on there

"Catherby" is just friend chat. We've pre-registered "World 9 Headquarters" but I think it's dumb it was supposed to be type "Catherby" to join the clan and the title would be "World 9 Headquarters".

http://services.runescape.com/m=clan-home/c=jFqu0RCrJjo/clan/World%209

These posers got the name I would prefer if only I knew the NAME for a clan would be the thing you type and not the owner of that clan. It's completely bull **** how Mod Timbo and Mod Kathy have their heads up their asses. We would have had that name "World 9" if Jagex actually told us what's up and the real way new Clan Chat works.

I reserved "Catherby" just in case we get more posers. And now that "World 9" is taken we may need to rethink this whole clan idea and try forming more and more clans on my other accounts since you can only be in one clan at a time. So that means I will have to use my other accounts to set that up just like I took clan name "Catherby" on account W9HQ. Should we maybe regroup and make a clan called "W9HQ" to we keep it the same as our old Friend Chat title and our forum thread since 2007?


Alright now we ditched the first fail update. Our clans are now "Catherby" and "W9HQ". We will keep both and make them both in different directions. We've got some that enjoy ranks for 99s. Some like ranks for forum activeness. So we can have a clan for both.

The friend chat will remain there for now with ranks based on 99s. For now we are working on moving ALL ranks of 99s over from fc "Catherby" to cc "W9HQ".

I'd like to see some restrictions on who is able to join the new Clan Chat.. Because honestly, this is a perfect time to implement a plan like only forum users can use the Clan Chat, while still using the Friends chat as a.. A well, whatever the **** you want to use it as.

Honestly, if you plan this before inviting people into the Clan.. You could have a real community happening here and not just some randoms all talking on RS.. I mean a proper community in both RS and here.

*Update: Zg7 your idea has been added to the main post.


That is SO true. But it's difficult to make a clan specific to forum ONLY. You have to log on the same time as an admin to be ranked. And it's very crazy.

Just to recap here's my decision for this. So yeah.

1) "Catherby" clan will be used for forum and I'll work on issuing ranks to the forum staff.

2) "W9HQ" clan will be used for 99s and the same Generals from fc "Catherby" will be promoted to Admin on cc "W9HQ".

So if you like being ranked for forum activities get accepted on "Catherby". If you have 99s and wish to get recognition and respect from others while earning your way to all 99s then "W9HQ" is for you.

But remember everyone is allowed to be a guest in BOTH clans (for now). Later we might make it so this is more redefined and restricted, while "W9HQ" will remain the chat that only 99s and the current Generals will become Admins.

I'll make note of this on the forum so it's better explained. Changing the forum ranks to reflect the change. And if people prefer one chat over the other to be ranked in, they will be able to decided where they want rank if it's a conflict of interests (I know currently a few Chat Admins are also Forum Mods or Forum Admins). So we will continue discussion on this matter until we reach the best option and all that.

Currently ALL rules of NG and RS apply to both clan chats (CC) and friend chat (FC).

Well, I was waiting for you to reply and frankly was ready to say "Well, game over guys.. We tried..". Honestly though, you've proven my predictions wrong.

I like your idea as a "start" and it can be used as a base for any further developments. I don't know about everyone else but I'd like the 2 chats to eventually be combined into one chat with ranks being based off forum activity and community deeds or something. While having "Catherby Friends Chat" as like a seperate chat for your chat admins, etc etc.. To talk in while monitoring the Clan Chat.

Like I explained in my previous post.. This is the opportunity NGoG has been waiting for to get some more activity on these forums and prove that we're a legit community.

Just chucking my two cents....
Two clans doesn't work in my opinion. Dividing the clan lacks a unified whole and there is going to be this "we're better than them mentality". Also I want to talk with everyone in a simpler way than splitting conversation between three channels (fc, cc and guest).
I propose fc stays as it is, ranks 99 and is the "main channel" so to speak where its easy for new recruits to join and look around, get a feel for the clan and decide if they like. The new "cc" is for us forum members. To get a rank you need to be registered here. This way you can get the good players that people like from fc to come and join the forum and cc and its just simple, not needing to split generals and admins between two clans. One clan and a fc is alot easier to run than two clans. This means the forum community grows, we can moderate who joins and who doesn't, no spammers in the actual cc and no clutter in the public chats.
I'm tired so some of this probably didn't make sense but the jist of it is...
One clan, one fc.
Clan ranks by forum activity and membership, fc ranks by 99.
The fc is open to anyone, its the "trial membership" phase so to speak. CC is only open to those who are accepted, join forums and are active in clans.
Basically, you don't have to split your admins, its easier to police and promotes a bit more unity than splitting the group down the middle with the two clans.

Veiled Black: I like the idea. Throwing that in the mix.

The whole problem was I wanted "Catherby" to be the clan for world 9 headquarters.

So it's decided... FINALLY! Thanks for the feedback guys.

We'll make "Catherby" the fc for ranking 99s. We'll make "Catherby" the cc for forum ONLY. It will be uniformed so EVERYTHING we do is centered around that town name. And if need be for ranked clan matches we can divide our members to branch off to "W9HQ" to boost ourselves up for cheating some kill/death ratio. ;)

We'll retain "W9HQ" and "World 9 Headquarters" so imposters don't try stealing out clan like they ones held "catherby9" and "worldnine". ;)

^ Everyone can agree to the above statement? I've updated the main post of this thread. By the end of this week hopefully this chaos Jagex threw us into will be sorted and we will be back on track. And thanks for all the feedback everyone and for your understanding during these trying times.

Bridled Ruin? :P

And yes that sounds good indeed :)

Ah second question that should probably be answered...
How will ranks be given for forum/Catherby CC?
There has been some "resistance" in regards to post count being the determing factor which I can understand....Given this will be (at least at the begining) a smaller or "elitist" group should ranks be given based on a more subjective approach, who has helped most/active and admins/mods can vote on promotions and such...or should it be something more objective "like" post count but not necessarily post count?...
Just some food for thought :)
