I was almost sure to expect Cosmetic clan overrides and the mute during Clan month.
But of course, I know better.

It seems clan work is always put on the back burner, even though in every MMO clans, or that specific game equivalent (such as guilds etc.) are very important to the integrity of the game. Runescape is similar to other MMOs in this regard. Without clans, the game would die. So, why is there not a dedicated clan team within Runescape for this - considering how vital clans are to keeping their customers paying for their game. We have this forum saying what could be possible this year, but very little of it was actually done. It seems that very few JMods care about clans, and due to this we never get updates done, as we are either told that it's not technically possible, or we are told it will be done.. then it never does get done. It's really sad that there are some stuff related to clans years old that need updating - one thing would be the level system on the web page, avatars staying with someone who's logged out for 6 hours (why so long?) and more, so it really is unfortunate we barely get anything.
What updates have we actually had this year so far? The probation system, addition of some locations or minigames to the noticeboard and a clan camp revamp, if I recall correctly. Nothing else. I fear for the future of clans in this game.

Its a shame that we're probably never going to see any updates for Clans. Jagex doesnt seem to care about the Clan community... all talk no action :(

I honestly believe the game would benefit from a team dedicated to clans, like there's a team for MTX etc.
Every MMO is only successful because of it's clans, guilds or whatever they might be called in their respective game. If clans are abandoned, the game will die more and more. We need a team to update clans, to keep them working, to keep the game alive. Unfortunately, I can't see this happening - only Maz and Matthe working on the clans, and even they can't dedicate much time.
But, what do I know? I'm not a business manager, just a gamer and wanna be games programmer.

I completely agree with you. Other games like VIndictus spend most of their time improving clan over game additions. They even have a shared clan bank where only certain ranks can withdraw and deposit items. Like their clan system is far more advance than what we have. I'm pretty sure they try their best to accommodate all suggestions regardless if they have to reprogram the system. Really clans are the main reason why Runescape still makes money, they lost 90% of members when EOC happened. Now people really only stay because they found a great group of people to keep them motivated to play. So, like you, I dont understand why Jagex are not focusing their attention on listening to what updates are needed for clan improvement and find a way to implement these plans. I'm sure no one will have a issue with waiting for a good clan update even if it takes the programmers a month or more to code. Such as additions to the clan citadel and a better system to entail whether a person has capped or not. Atm we're only hearing excuses because Jagex is more concerned about how to release more products for people to spend irl money on

Well I wondered if this thread was going again or if any of the improvements promised were ever started back up. Appears we're getting the same story we did last year. If Clan Cups are so important so shouldn't the Clan Interfaces & Citadels. I agree with the above posts that Clans are a vital part of RS3. Most of the people in our clan have been with us for years & years. It does bring socialization into the game and we are like one big family. Last post from a Jmod I noticed was in July, so my guess is nothing is being worked on this any more & we'll not see the changes this year & probably not next. Too bad our clan was excited when I told them the things promised last year, so they'll feel let down again this year.

I went as far as posting on the Clan Cup thread in the CLF about skipping it (perhaps even for years in a row) and actually working on clan updates again, as it serves no real game-based purpose than temporary distraction for both the few that know of it and JAGeX staff who participate/interact with it.

Bottom line: It's NOT a game draw, nor a game feature. It COULD be, IF they had clans on par with other MMO's instead of using excuses in place of results.
