A very interesting read, my man. Most striking to me was how the change from the player killer/non player killer mechanic to the wilderness was viewed as apocalyptic in nature by the players of the time. As someone who really came into consciousness about the wider game during the wilderness removal/we pay to pk riots and also lived through eoc/rs3, it's funny to see how RuneScape is always "dying."
Great to learn more about the day one clans. I vaguely knew some of that from my days in the RSB/RSC communities, but it was cool to hear it from an earlier source. Someone else wrote an ebook a couple years back about the history of every aspect of the game. I didn't have time to read all of it, but its history of PvP clans was riveting. Glad I got to play a role in all that.
