The Miners and Smithers of RuneScape was once RuneScape's largest and most generous skilling clan. Throughout most of RuneScape Classic and RuneScape 2 they gave away billions of GP to random players. Until Jagex made an update to the game that made them disappear overnight. This is their story.

So happy to this this video. I am a retired member of MaSoRs who joined the clan in 2007. I also was also a Senior member that went on to become part of the advisory council before I retired. Seeing this video pop up out of nowhere brings back the Nostalgia of being part of the team that made it happen. For years before EOC and trade restrictions we'd so a semi annual drop party with the big obe being the summer ones. The very last one we did after trade restrictions were lifted one of our leaders decided to drop his Purple or white party hat as well (i think worth 220m at the time.) The person who ended up getting was i think some newer player in his base 50 stats and everyone just congratulated the legend

[@brosettastone7520]

“Advisory council” 😂 cringe

[@Alucard5595]

@brosettastone7520 I mean if you want a simple but similar explanation on how the rank structure works for the clan think of la cosa nostra and advisory council is consigliere with underboss authority but we're meant for not quite retired admins. The leaders of the clan have the ultimate say and senior members are active admins. Elite members are our mods and we have even specified roles for each rank too. You might say cringe when you dealt with 300-ish members in a forum or clan chat some things need structure

[@clivelambert-oe7kg]

I was at one where they was dropping party hats was insane

[@demonwolf8024]

I hope they do make one in OSRS. My screen name was MinerNecron, I literally called myself a mining robot... My personal greatest achievement (IMHO) was the day I bought my own Dragon Pickaxe and upgraded it with the cosmetic. Never reached 99 mining due to getting scammed and forgetting passwords, causing me to have to start over multiple times, but I got to 95 on my most recent account. Mining is virtually all I do in OSRS and it's relaxing for me. I can't believe I never heard of these guys in all my years of playing. They would have been my kind of people instead of just clicking ore alone.

[@MrJamesSalter]

I was friends with Adidas, and was one of the early members of MaSoRS. Fun fact, the clan name name was a play on the word "Masons" aka freemasons as Adidas was a freemason himself. This is why the clan was always so helpful, charitable and community spirited.

[@JoshPillault]

Bro, my little brother stole the name "The Masors" because he went to a huge drop party from these guys when he was like 9 or 10. Wiiiild to see this!

I wonder how the old owners experienced all this. Just imagine..all the nostalgic stories. Great video once again!

[@themalibuexperience1623]

i just recently got into osrs and i love your videos. you do an awesome job telling the stories of osrs past and i get to get a good sense of what i missed out on but hopefully will get to experience soon. it feels bad that i ignored this game like i did wow. i missed so many potential great memories but look forward to the future of this game and the people im meeting along the way. so in short great job bro keep it up.

I used to do firemaking near the falador party room from 70-99, when the meta was to just burn like 80k maple logs. I made a pretty decent profit like 10m+ off the parties alone, there were designated servers for it, some of the stuff dropped there reguraly was already insane.

I remember a youtube video from early 2000s of the person who got a purple party hat from the falador drop party room. It was super laggy and he randomly clicked on a spot and just sniped it lol

What a great story! Can't believe the clan lasted throughout the entire time original RS was good. Usually it's a more sad reason for a clan's end.

I was in the clan for a bit. I quit before eoc in 2009 when it was talked about. They were a fun clan.

Cool video. Lots of memories in MASORS to look back on. Definitely wish they hadn't changed the game so much, I'd probably still be playing if they hadn't.

[@OldSchoolDudeGaming]

I actually went to the one behind the alkarid bank. I saw the rs forum post but I didn't know it was a clan looking to recruit lol. Had I known they were, I would've 100% joined because I LOVED mining. It was hard to get in the server since it was capped at 2k players and most were on for that event. You couldn't even see the items on the ground because every tile had a person on it and it couldn't load more than a handful of tiles out.

Was apart of a clan back in 2018/2019 that was in a way like this … would meet up and do drop parties for randoms. One guy alone brought in 600M of items for just a single drop. Absolutely no clue where the players went though as I took a break for a year. Have yet to see a single one log in, ever.

I could see now a days it being nearly impossible for them due to bots just flooding the parties

It was my dream to be able to play the original RuneScape classic back in the day but I started in 05, shit looked so much fun.

[@Cloudstriff101]

I was a ranked member of this clan during it's last drop party and just a bit until EOC dropped. I was around for the clan transfer and was a forum moderator during that time. The clan wasn't dead when I quit RS3 around the release of invention, but it was definitely dwindling. I have a lot of fun memories from that time. I just lost interest in the direction RS3 was going down. I think I have some screenshots and video clips of the clan hall being made on an old HDD.

I have no idea if anyone knows the answer to this, but were there many other groups doing legit drop parties back then? I got an adamant platebody and a rune full helm from a drop party in runescape classic It was in the center of varrock. I just have no idea who was actually dropping stuff. I just saw a bunch of people freaking out and then got really lucky. I think it had to be 2002. Thats pretty much a core memory for me. It would be neat if it was actually these guys.
