I can manage an Xbox side of a gaming clan, if necessary. Am always on my 360 and as of Christmas this year I will have an XBOne. Will gladly devote time for that platform. Destiny, GTA, would buy CoD (if I had to), Master Chief Collection, and much more. So stoked at this possibility.

EDIT: Words are hard.

YOU BEAUTIFUL BASTARD. I've had an X1 for about a year. I've got Destiny, Halo, GTA, and they're all amazing.

I would push for a more active Steam component of the clan, with more focused game events, weekly 'game nights', and most importantly, a calendar that lists games that will be played ahead of time (so people can install/buy the games and be ready when it is time to play).  We have tried this before but it seems that there is a lack of interest in actually managing anything other than RuneScape and (sort of) Minecraft.

 

back when i was DoE i put up the events on our steam group. to notify those who are playin a game that a event is soon. wouldnt be hard.

 

I myself play xbox 360/one games

Dude. We got to game together when I get my X1.

Would people be interested in Steam/Console game events being set up by the events team? The only problem I have with that is I don't own an Xbox of any kind, but I'm sure someone else can arrange those if they want to.

that would be a good idea for the fact Steam it self is free and some of the older games that are good but never got popularity are pretty cheap, along with many sales during week and such.

 

Also if we turn this into a gaming clan and not a RS clan the events depo can have Director for RS, Steam, Xbox, Playstation and so on.. would give more spots open up in the Events Department and allow more people to get involved

Obviously I'm not around enough to offer any actual suggestions, but if you're going to consider changing to a gaming clan, do it correctly this time. This has several pretty key components:

 

1) Do it for the right reasons. I have no idea how dead/alive activity is on Runescape. The last time this "gaming clan" change went into effect, the Runescape element was alive and well and there was absolutely no reason for any drastic change to be made. It really only occurred because of the upper administration's receiving of criticism for lack of in-game activity. So, what happened? "Oh yeah guys, we're gonna be a general gaming clan now." There may be an actual need for change this time, I don't know. But properly evaluate this before taking any action.

 

2) Better implementation: There still has to be a focus on some kind of continuity between all the different games and their subforums. Otherwise, the clan aspect basically goes out the window. Then, find whichever game seems to have the greatest following and cash in on that.

 

 

If the change to a gaming clan isn't made, then focus on changes in recruiting philosophy. Top-sites aren't prime recruiting spots anymore and really haven't been that way for... well... a long time. Like EverRush suggested, in-game recruiting will be considerably better. Do something like put the recruiting team in charge of in-game advertisement rather than bumping topsite posts.

I have posted a survey to gauge opinions about the gaming clan idea.  Link HERE.

 

Time to move past speculation and get some actual data.
