The major reason for the decline was its age and the departure of myself and many other core members. I led N+J POC for 3 years and was honestly burnt out of RS at that time. Many of our senior members were getting on less and less, and my motivation for playing was dwindling as well. We had such a huge core of senior members that had all been a part of the POC for so long, that when all of our interests started to decline as we grew older, the POC started to fall apart as well.

One of the biggest things I would go back and change is making there a better division of power in the POC. I controlled just about everything that happened in N+J, from leading events, posting on the forums, coordinating wars, and just about anything else you can think of. I loved every bit of it, but the POC became extremely dependent on me for leadership and that was one of its biggest downfalls and my biggest regrets. When I left RS and the POC, I think it changed everything. I left one of our most senior members and probably most respected member, Ghostdre, in charge of the POC. He was a great leader but just did not have the time to devote to running a clan, and he left a few months later. This began a cycle of several new leaders, including Zoinkwiz, Powerrock, Double A 119. After myself and Ghostdre left, it was not the same N+J that remained. I believe the last time I saw N+J being (somewhat) actively run was by Double A sometime in 2012 or 2013.

In 2013(?) I came back briefly and joined the clan New Age Assassins led by Final Nova. I participated in a few wars and events over the course of a few months while working on my goal of 99 range/mage. I would mostly only play over the summers due to college during the year, but was always pulled back once school was out lol. Now you can find me on OSRS!

Hmm, nothing, honestly. I think the community is a great and supportive one and has evolved incredibly over the years. There is great history between the POCs and the Mafia families and each has sort of created its own path which I think is great. I am happy that KOV and EOF are still around as Grandmasters of the POC community, and I wish N+J were still there with them. I see them as the model of what a POC looks like and I hope that they will continue to be around for years to come with new and great POCs rising up as well.

I think it's important for POCs to be involved with one another to ensure that the community stays strong and connected with each other, but it seems like that's already happening. I know it would be hard to do something like this but I think it would be cool to see a more formal way of declaring territory and the possibility for other POCs to take over it via diplomacy and trade or even warring, as it was in the very old days between MC and KOV (although who knows if either side would have agreed to giving up land to the other lol).

POCs are different from clans in that you can use your imagination to think of new ways of managing them and their infrastructure, roleplaying positions, etc. and I think it's important that they maintain that aspect. If there was one lesson I learned from being deeply involved in both the clan and POC world, it's that clans and POCs have their similarities, but it's the differences that make POCs great!
