Hey guys is there a community on this forum, that is considered as the oldest rp community?

To give you a better answer,

There are a lot of group in here that might have the title of oldest in the community. I cannot say for sure, others can correct me if I am sadly mistaken, but the oldest group within here is either mine, The Quest Collective (The rp group was formerly known as the Godless back when the faction was released till changed a few years ago to its current name) Or The Kingdom of Forinthry, seeing it was created in 2016 and was revived with news? (I could be mistaken).

If there are any others that are older, that had migrated to a different theme of role-play, they are currently unknown to me

I feel the most fair answer is to say the World 42 community, as it is often just a community in and of itself, is the oldest still active on the forums. Many of the people involved in the various POKs have been since 2011, or were involved with groups led by people from 2011 and sooner.

If you want the oldest community in the history of the forums, that's World 31. They predated World 42 roleplay, and the mainstream world 42 crowd adopted syntax migrated from World 31.

If you're looking for a single, continuous RP, I have to second that the Quest collective has most of the other competition beat, since it emerged from the Godless rp. I remember when they formed the guild the first time, actually.

My RP family is old, but there's been breaks in activity, enough so I'd say the Aren family probably holds longest running RP in that regard, and though they use the forums I don't think they maintain a thread directly, but I'm almost certainly mistaken.

There are other groups that claim to predate 2011, but I can't verify them personally or from experiences of multiple people.

I would say I'm part of the Old Guard (no that's not a group, a catchall for the older people who've likely left the game). But as far as I can recall, it would be either Russia's Kandarin or the various Vampyre covens present in Morytania. Matter of fact, I believe my character was either a member of or a governing part of the Wizards' Guild in Yanille.

Technically Yanille wasn't under Russia's Kanderin, but it was my first and I was about... 14 at the time? It must've been close to about 10 years ago then.

Ultimately though, people could've been roleplaying since the beginning of the game, or however old the forum's topic thread is, but I imagine there were many more before, lost to the sand of time.

TLDR

Probably Russia's Kandarin and/or the Vampyre covens from Morytania. it's been almost ten years since I roleplayed in those groups. There were probably groups before, but there's no way to tell without empirical evidence.

"Probably Russia's Kandarin and/or the Vampyre covens from Morytania."

Well, as leader of the (I think) second oldest of those covens - I now feel horrifically old!

However, I (and Fel - if anyone remembers him... probably not given it's been 10 years haha) would say anyone who roleplayed back when W31 was the main roleplay hub rather w42 (2006 ish?) are probably the oldest community. To this day, I've no idea what caused the exodus from 31 to 42, but it was a good lil' community.

Regardless of how one defines the oldest roleplay community though, it's nice to see a community at all still exists on this game. I've played many MMOs, and many games more generally, since, but to this day I'm still convinced Runescape is where I've spent most of my gaming life, and it's also where I met my to-be husband so it and it's community will always be dear to me. Hope you're all having fun!

So many memories! Burgh de Rott still has that special place in my heart, all these years later. Nice seeing you're still around, Tara-- hope you and Fel are doing well! And I'm glad to see the Nourom and Foryx are getting the memorial they deserve haha.

I reckon the Sicarius have a pretty valid claim too, looks like they're still around and active. Ridaku still holding the fort down.
