We lost our citadel.

Our members don't play frequently enough to consistently get upkeep. It got to where we'd have a week in dilapidated state, repair it the next week, have a week with upkeep met, then back to dilapidation. Frustrating.

The few who actually enjoyed the citadel were outnumbered by the ones who could not care any less about it. So we gave up.

No citadel.

I don't miss the tedium of capping or picking up those stupid anagogic orts that take up inv space. I do miss the pretty citadel. It used to be some of my favorite content.

Edit: Brain cramp. I temporarily forgot that orts are stored virtually now. Mea culpa.

^^^^ this is why we don't do it, not worth the hassle. Plus the xp rates are so bad and with only max 6% bxp, it's actually xp waste now than actually just training the skill we ant the bxp in anyhow.

I understand the reasoning behind them not wanting to remove upkeep, but I do agree that it is so much harder to maintain when there are so many other things to do in the game, and aside from ava buff and alright exp rates, theres not a whole lot of use for it.

The clan I am in now doesnt require capping, an the upkeep is maintained by myself and 7 other people(ish) - and we are stuck at tier 4, and we cant even get enough extra resources each week to make any progress on getting our second avatar. We do have a lot of active people but they are so goal oriented and what not that its hard for them to even visit. The only reason (as of today) that i look more forward to it is i can save money on trying to get that smithing pet now ;)

tl;dr i support removing upkeep, partially cause im lazy and would rather gain exps and get 120's!

I totally agree with this- when I became clan leader I inherited a dilapidated citadel (tier 3 I believe) and the only other person in the clan chat was a bot =/ So I despatched the bot with my boot and set about building the clan and the citadel.

We're now Tier 7 with a beautiful red dragon. A lot of the clan members are now maxed and capping is pretty irrelevant to their needs.

So every week, I cap... once, second time on my alt and sometimes a third and fourth time plus capping the avatars. This takes a good part of a day....

If the citadel went, I would lose a lot of motivation to play.

After a set time, perhaps, the citadel should be transformed to some amazing structure that does not decay. I'm sure this would be a possibility!! Or we could have the option at Tier 7 to build a plot with a Citadel-Bot-Maker. This could create citadel bots which could automatically maintain the citadel. That would be a weird and wonderful twist to the Runescape botting story.... (to be continued)

Don't agree with removing upkeep as this makes it officially dead content.

Would prefer it to get some sort of minor rework that makes people want to use it. Plenty of ideas have been posted here (including a few I've written! :P ), and are well worth the development time to implement in my opinion.

We changed Incursione's rank system some time ago, and made every Clanmate an Admin as the minimum rank; allowing everyone the ability to Summon an Avatar. We have found that by giving all clanmates Avatar access, they are much more inclined to do their part for the Citadel in order to maintain that access.

Incursione 2100+/130+ Clan, Avatar access for all.
