Clan history etc. can be found on our clan site, although it needs brought up to speed. I haven't been working on the clan itself for awhile now, due to IRL. I used to have a live-in GF who I got into RS and we played together for 10 years. Now I'm looking for a new GF IRL, and that takes up time. But we still play together sometimes, and she's still Co-Owner. I'm sure there's tons of "fun facts" people might be curious about but the clan was created to keep familiar friends together in-game when they come back to RS, and provide an environment of people we can know more closely than a collection of loose friends in-game by creating a particular atmosphere and supporting it with like-minded people.

Started off with the Altar FC (formerly called a clan chat) that I'm sure many have used in w31 Yanille and eventually evolved into more of a "clan" with the release of clan camps in 2011. It's been a crazy journey with a lot of up's and down's but in the end I think everyone is proud with what they've accomplished in our community. I still feel pretty good about the community as a whole and I'm sure we'll be around for years to come! Reading all the stories on here and seeing that there is multiple legacies that will be left behind on this game is truly amazing. Sometimes it's difficult to see anything outside your little bubble.

Clan Owner, Toxic Serenity
3 year, 3 months

I was talked into starting a clan by my boyfriend after returning to runescape after a few years break. I wasn't keen on the idea at first but my boyfriend wouldn't stop till i agreed. We ended up creating a clan with my two brothers and a friend but i quickly started disliking the clans name think it had something like "SGZ" infront of the name to represent Saradomin, Guthix and Zamarok. My boyfriend then suggested making a new clan without that and writing up a new forum thread which then became Toxic Serenity.

Owning a clan has been very stressful at times due to pressures of upgrading our citadel, keeping players active and growing. We've had a lot of ups and downs lately with out clan going from 30 active players to 5 but regardless of this i believe having a clan has made me a better player and a better person.

I know my clan is never going to be in the top 100 clans but i really don't care as i've made some wonderful friends throughout my experience of owning a clan.

I've grown so much as a person during the last couple of years that I figured I'd post again.
I was also going through depression because I suffered a brain injury months before my last post so hopefully this one will be more positive. :)

Comments ~ I'm coming for you Noobs! So many years of letting my Clanmates explore other Clans was enough! I'm taking back everyone who left us to join another Clan one way or another whether it's through getting them back as Clan Friends / Guests or back as Returning Members. I am done losing Friends because I've lost contact with them. #NeverAgain

"There is...NO ESCAPE! RuneScape trembles and... you submit!"


These words were spoken by our Founders back in 2005 becoming our clan motto and they resonate to this day.

"Over time things are forgotten, details that should never be forgotten. The essence of what once was is lost due to new influences and the mission is lost due to carelessness."
- Skorpio21, El Imperio Latino's Clan Founder (September 6, 2008).


Kids these days will never know what it felt like to have to browse the internet searching for Clan Forums and to risk getting muted sharing your email so you could talk to Clanmates on Msn Messenger because Jagex wanted to protect Players privacy. Life is good in 2016 with Clan Chats, Social Media and security tools like the RuneScape Authenticator and Email 2-Step Verification. And acknowledging this makes me feel like an old dinosaur.

But we've grown and evolved. Balancing ideas from new brains and taking into consideration the wisdom of old farts, we move forward into a new age. I'm happy we've made it this far surviving ups and downs, and I'm looking forward to the years ahead. :P

Hey I just reread this whole thread and I loved reading everyone's story. :)

I appreciate you reviving this. The old and new stories from others were a nice read indeed. And ignore the other Noobs here complaining about the thread getting locked. This wouldn't be the CLF without bickering, derailing and stoopid pointless annoying messages (spam). I'm not even going to reply directly to those comments because one should not feed the trolls. :P

The hardest part of being a clan leader is to become good friends with people but having to see them go. So many old faces are now gone and I often wonder how they're doing.

Nailed it and almost made me cry. O_o

If you have a large clan don't try to do everything yourself.

It's very easy to get a mental block and end up doing nothing because you've burn yourself out thinking instead of doing. Publishing a Clan Plan and using lots of emojis to make conversations more personal has really helped us. :)

We changed our rules, ranking structure and internal processes

I think we've done that like once or twice a year every year. Lol :D

Ignore List said :
in the cc where they call me "Ray the Dictator"

I think all of us here have been called a dictator from time to time. That's just being a good Leader because people aren't always right and it takes a Leader to know the difference.

Then again, I'm not as nice as Leta which is why I have a female Deputy Owner to keep me on check. How does that saying go? Happy wife, happy life? or is it Happy Female Owner, Happy Clanmates? Shout-out to all the girls that bring balance to our lives. ;)

Hello, i been leading, living souls of rs for about 7 months, and were tier 4 citadel, 2 avatars, and currently at 65% approx towards tier 5 citadel.

I have ran another clan and we got to tier 3 citadel until players in the clan decided to go thier own way after i kicked one of there friends but due reason and they didnt understand at all. but

Now im back in living souls of rs clan, after friend became owner of the clan after previous owner left clan along with admin + ranks and whoever else left. so i came and became owner.
