  1. 1) When MaSoRS was founded in 2003, what were the other active and biggest skilling communities/clans/services/businesses, etc.?



    When I joined in 2005, all clans had combat requirements it seemed. The only other clan I remember that started around the time I joined is PhoenixFyre/Rising that was skilling based.



    2) The drop parties attracted many people. Would it be ok to say that it was primarily these drop parties that caused the clan to grow over time?



    I joined because I saw a thread for a drop party. We would fill up world 14 HOURS before a drop party. World 14 was one of the least popular f2p worlds but we would cap that world 3+ hours before a drop party.



    3) Did the creation of Mining Golds in 2009 affect MaSoRS at all? I am asking this because Mining Golds instantly became the most well-known Mining community.



    No. I can't recall anyone leaving for Mining Golds nor was their any threads/any pushes to keep members or anything like that...they weren't a threat in any way to us



    4) Has the MaSoRS clan always revolved entirely around Mining and Smithing or has there been a shift in focus in the course of the last 5-7 years? And if there has been a shift, why?



    Never a strict requirement on mining and smithing. Most events we did in 2005-2007 just wouldn't be fun now aka going to the hobgoblin mine or lumbridge mine to mine mith/addy when you can hop worlds and get inventories in 1-2 minutes with harmonized rocks etc. or firefests when you can bonfire for better xp



    5) I seem to have the impression from the history page on this website that MaSoRS might have been the biggest skilling clan of RSC and early RS2. Do you think that is correct or not? If not, what other clans were as big or even bigger?



    I'm not a clan expert but maybe Supreme Skillers? Pheonix Fyre/Rising? I don't remember how big they were honestly. Back then I remember there being 30+ people on the forums on peak times, if not near 50-60 on Saturdays. IRC peaked at probably 30-40 before FCs/CCs



    6) On what is the clan's focus today? I can imagine that the release of the new high-level Mining content since 2009 (LRC, Elf City) might have been bad for MaSoRS.



    Right now we are just more of a general clan with an active citadel and avatars out all the time on our home world 27. We still have the same 60 mining/50 smithing requirements but 99.9% of RS3 players have that easily so I wouldn't even call it a requirement. We still pull 20-25 people on a good Saturday online at once.



    7) Is there anything else you want me to mention about MaSoRS (that is relevant)?




    8) Would it be ok if I used one of the screenshots (on this clan's history webpage) in my e-book? The owner of any image I pick would be credited, of course.



    No issue
