Warring is Dead.

The majority of PVP - Warring Clans are no longer warring.
The majority of self proclaimed PKers are no longer pking.

I'm glad the latest changes in the game have added a boost for PVM,
but I'm afraid that the impact of the new additions have negatively impacted PVP.

But there may still be hope.
A new generation of PKers is spawning from Warbands.
The future will tell how we move forward with this.
But I don't see warring returning any time soon.

Admittedly you've been away for ages Pescao, but warring is by no means dead at all. Check out the Clan Warring forum and you'll see that even RS3 has ranked wars occurring pretty much every weekend - and there are also many friendlies taking place behind the scenes too.

Ofc it's not as active as back in 2011, but if a clan or player wants to war they are able to find opponents of every level atm.

Warring never disappeared tbh - and now it's the strongest it's been since 2012. The question isn't whether warring has returned as it already has. The question is how to expand it even further :P

Edit: Naturally I'm taking about P2P EoC here

Hey I may have left myself go a little since retirement, but I'll get them later.

It seems to be the same old people trying to preserve a dying pvp community.
It won't get better until we get new people from the mainstream community. :P

There are actually quite a few new people from non-pvp clans :)


When CE was still active on RS3 we had quite some people from non-PvP clans. However, most of them had previous warring experience. Back in the day, almost every F2P player had been to Clan Wars and fought with random friendschats. Nowadays, that doesn't work because:
1) F2P has a ridiculous low amount of players
2) F2P combat is terrible
3) The main communication channel is blocked in EoC mode
4) P2P players barely enter F2P worlds, as there's nothing to gain for them any more
5) EoC has absolutely no atmosphere due to point 3
6) Combat is very low-level unfriendly
7) Combat is too fast-paced to be relaxing, while casuals are likely to war for relaxation
8) Ingame callers will get sniped out immediately as tank-gear doesn't block hits
9) The majority of players who do like warring are on OSRS
10) Reflexes became too important, which turns off many older players

I feel like an old grandpa saying it was better back in the day, but it was better back in the day.

If we could at the very least use F11 without needing to press ENTER to chat, this would facilitate spamming "Our pile is here!" But we can't even do that. O_o

I go to show off my expensive F2P gear which can only be obtained via P2P and GE. ;)

It's gotten better, but we could use more of med level gear and less high level gear that most PKers can't even afford. People like to PK with the best gear possible. O_o

Shields reduce damage on PVM, but not on PVP. Lol need I say more? I don't get how a boss could potentially be more dangerous than a pile of PKers. :P

I just bought a cane for myself because I overused my knee walking and my grandpa told me he hasn't reached that age yet, so I think you're good. :P
