[@Alucard5595]

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.

[@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.

I've been the admin for their forum for the last 15+ years, at this point I basically just host it for archival purposes (though you need an account to see the content going back to ~2004) but there's a lot of history in there.

This explains a lot!! I started playing RuneScape around 2006/2007 during Christmas break I was 9/10. A couple weeks into the game I saw a player in all black drop some coin randomly next to the Lumbridge Castle (they might’ve let a goblin kill them if I remember correctly), I was broke and new so I went over and picked it up and it was about 500K. I always wondered what happened! My friends from school who got me into the game wouldn’t believe my story until I showed them. S/O to whoever that was, I always wanted to thank them for making my time playing RuneScape so much fun since I didn’t have to grind for $$ just working on my cooking and crafting. Plus allowing me to bank rolling some of my friends

I've quite wow my self a few months ago (Thanks to blizzard being useless hags) I still though think about the friends I had by the time I left and whom I now have left behind, some of them I still speak with on Discord and some have followed me over to FFXIV others I have fully lost contact with.

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.
