I have had my citadel maxed for over four years, and I am going to be losing it in the next week... this game has become afk and no one pays attention to the clan chat anymore, recruitment is down and people barely log in...

I am tired of hearing we aren't going to do anything to make the citadels better, add plots, fix it so clans stop suffering and losing them..

I don't want to hear its already been reduced.. They need to improve the citadel more.. something has to be done.

Its disgusting! don't reply if your going to be negative about my post, I am pretty upset..

I have worked hard for over ten years with my clan I stuck by it and now I am about to the lose the very thing that kept us together!

I ran a poll via strawpoll a while back, aimed at people who led clans. The results were along these lines:

Polltakers who lead or are part of clan administration - 100%
Polltakers who believe the Citadel needs more bonuses - 100%
Polltakers who would like to see upkeep removed - ~94%
Polltakers who would like to see visitor count removed ~86%
Polltakers who would like to see both upkeep & visitor count removed ~86%
Of the 14% who voted no to visitor count and/or upkeep, 100% of them agreed to nerf upkeep @Lisaa_RS - Followed by @Runescape

I'm one of the few people who think that upkeep should remain.

Why should you get to keep a T7 citadel with no effort ? You have in excess of 250 people in your clan ( 8 of which are key ranks), and you can't get the equivalent of 5 of them ( + avatars) to cap ? Then I'm sorry, but in that case you don't deserve to keep it, regardless of the effort put in previously.

The citadel is a choice - if you want it, work for it , if your not prepared to work for it, then don't have one and don't worry about it.

I know I sound harsh, and I do honestly understand that you are upset over it because of the effort you have put in over the years, and completely agree that the game is now so AFK thats its ruining any community value to clans.

In response to your don't reply if your going to say something negative comment, what's the point of the thread if not to open discussion ?

Kera has a point here. If 5 people + avas cant cap, no offence but there is an issue. You have to make citadel look important. In my clan, if you cap, you get closer to a rank up for example.

But the citadel isn't important and almost everyone knows that.

It's always sad to hear that this has happened to other clans, my clan has come close a few times to losing our Tier 7 due to number problems so I really do feel your pain with losing something you've had for a very long time.

I've supported removing the upkeep costs for a long time, it's about time Jagex has done something about it, it's not as if clan citadel gives the best xp rates anymore.

I have an account that isn't in my clan that has members, I would have no issue in helping you out with capping on it if you like, send me a PM :)

Hi Triscuits,

I understand what you're going through because I found myself in the same situation not long ago.

For what it's worth, my suggestion would be to forget about the citadel if the stress level has been constantly high for a while and focus on other clan activities.

If you're in a position like we were where very few members are active, perhaps the healthiest decision would be to move on and join another clan that's active.

I spent many days alone in chat because of the days when several clan friends would happen to all log in at once, reminding me of fun days in the past with clan. But I must say, those days got few and far between. Recruiting by myself and trying to bring in new members to an empty chat didn't work well. And I realized I was burned out after leading for seven years

Recently, I made the decision to move on and joined another clan. It's made the game a lot more fun to be part of an active clan that talks in chat, helps and encourages members to reach goals and has a lovely, maxed citadel that's kept without the leadership having to ask or remind members to cap.

If you find yourself in the position where the stress far outweighs the fun, it's probably time to reassess what you want to do moving forward.

I wish you the best of luck with whatever you decide!

I am so happy you did your homework on my clan! Gratz to you! but you must understand... I have been maxed out and t7 for many years my hard work and my keys hard work is very much earned.. We do cap our ava and not to mention some of us actually work for a living or go to school, ALL I am saying I am bit pissed off that I had to work so hard to make this happen to lose it for stupid upkeep now if you don't like my answer then don't respond thanks

My heart goes out to you but, I refuse to give up on something I built and been around for almost 10 Years!

My Key ranks will do what they can to help but, you can't make people cap they simply have lost interest in even communication in cc. I have probably 50 active members.
