Forsaken is a GMT based (European timezone) community clan on the oldschool version of the game (OSRS). As we are a community clan, we allow multiclanning, which means that we are not taking priority over other clans. As we are originally a GMT clan, it means the majority of our (PvP) events will be between 7 PM GMT and 10 PM GMT. However some events such as skilling competitions or PvM competitions go on day and night. With that said, we have members from all over the world. Forsaken first opened it's doors on the 27th of April 2010. We closed as a warring clan on the 5th of April in 2012. A few years after the release of oldschool, some Forsaken members got together and decided to reopen. We reopened on the 17th of May in 2015. After doing very well in the PvP scene we closed our doors as a warring clan. Our main focus was always F2P warring, but that scene slowly started fading away. As a result we closed as a warring clan on the 29th of October in 2017. After that, we basically turned into a community clan, which we still are to this date.
We aim to have 2-3 events hosted by staff each week. Examples are small PvM events or competitions, skilling competitions, fun events and P2P pk trips. We do offsite games as well now and then such as Tagpro, Cards Against Humanity or Curve Fever for example. In addition to that, many of our members play other games together as well. None of those events are mandatory, but we do require some level of activity from everyone.
People often ask us what does Forsaken aim for? Or how would you guys describe Forsaken? We will answer those questions below.
Forsaken aims to be a place for everyone to enjoy. We have members from various main clans as well, but it's our goal to keep everything free of beef. To make this a place for everyone to enjoy we host PvM events, skill events, fun events and P2P pking. In addition we have our own PvM rankings and skill rankings as well! To keep our good community we have a active Discord server and we have of course this forum. Besides RuneScape a lot of Forsaken members play other games together as well. For example League of Legends, Counterstrike, Fortnite or World of Warcraft. Some even play Xbox or Playstation together!
Forsaken isn't just a clan, we're a family. We are one big group of friends who enjoy hanging out together. Our focus isn't just RuneScape, there is so much more we do together. People are always welcome to join our community. Even though we have a lot of high level content, we are a home to low level players as well. We welcome any new player without experience and we will gladly help you out with stuff! Hang around with us on Discord and post around on forums so you'll get to know us ;)
Forsaken is a clan which has members from all over the world. It's a lovely group of friends, in which you will easily fit in if you give it a shot. We really have all sorts of people in here. We have ones which are really kind and are always up to help people, people which are funny as hell and some are sometimes as retarded as you can imagine. Young or old it doesn't matter. They all fit in Forsaken because we all have one thing in common: we care a lot about Forsaken and the community. We respect eachother and we put in effort together to make this a nice place for everyone.
Our view is obviously biased as staff of this clan. We can however 100% guarantee you this clan will be worth a shot, whether it is for the PvM, the skilling or the PvP aspect we offer you or just the community with all kind of events.

Forsaken has a wide variety of fun events. This goes from P2P pk trips to hide and seek events. Besides that we also have frequent PvM competitions and skilling competitions. Below are some ingame pictures.
Forsaken used to be a warring clan. Especially F2P warring is the foundation of this clan, we value those memories and therefor we keep some old pictures up here. More can be read in our history at the bottom of this page.
Leader
Playing since 2003 and clanning since 2004, Bas has been in some of the most succesful PvP clans this game has seen. After founding and leading Forsaken V1 to greatness in 2010, him and Ruler Mike5 decided to reopen Forsaken in 2015. With his great determination, insane dedication and shiny bald head, we're proud to call him our leader.
Council
Initially Bolern was very quiet when joining Forsaken. As years passed by, he seemed to have lost all of that (blame alcohol?). This guy can't be missed in Forsaken's community. He has been in many big PvP clans prior to Forsaken, which makes him the pker he is to date. Bolern is always up for P2P pking and he has a lot of experience in both single and multi pking.
Council
Carl is an oldschool player. He has been playing the game since 2002 (classic) and has been in various clans (both PvP and PvM) over the years since 2004. Being maxed ingame, Carl clearly knows what he is doing. Carl is responsible for a lot of our PvM and skill related events as he's very experienced with said events. No matter what you ask Carl, he will always help you out.
Council
Upon joining Jordy was interested and experienced in both F2P and P2P warring. Coming to Forsaken young and immature, he's now grown up to be one of the smartest and hard working officials we have. These days Jordy isn't much into PvP anymore, but he is a big skiller who has a very nice ironman.
Council
Joining quite late before we actually closed our doors as a warring clan, Michael came in with a bang. He quickly worked his way up to a Captain and he become one of our main callers during wars. Michael has loads of experience in clanning, he has been in many top clans. These days he still plays a big role in our PvP unit.
Council
One of the most experienced clanners and players we have. Splodge draws his experience from being one of RoT's core members from 2008 to their closure. One of the most versatile PK'ers we have whose experienced in both F2P and P2P, single and multi. With his clear British voice, Splodge has lead us to many victories while we were still a warring clan.
Admin
The real MVP of this clan. Being one of the most important people in Forsaken, he takes care of every admin task on our Teamspeak and forums. Need help with your computer? Need help with your internet? Need help with scripting? Banana is the guy to go. Always ready to help, nearly always friendly, he's the best Admin we could wish for.
In April 2010 Golden Sun came to an end. A number of their members, disappointed by their leaders that left them clanless, decided to make a new clan. Only eight days later, Forsaken was born. Those Golden Sun members were now leaders of their very own clan. These people were Ruler Mike5, Darkruler633, Grande 000, Jude1230 and Poolord12345. Knowing it wouldn’t be an easy ride, they were determined to make their new clan prosper and succeed. Forsaken’s initial start was by no means an easy outset. Fighting with numbers between 15 and 20 Forsaken slowly but surely started to secure wins, establishing Forsaken as a clan to stay. They laid down the foundation which would later on prove to be crucial for the clan’s success. They knew they wanted to be more than a Golden Sun remake.

Key players in Forsaken's history were those who stood out as regular members:
As Forsaken consolidated its base the clan started to make a name for itself. This resulted in both negative and positive attraction. In terms of positive attraction this mostly meant a lot of new recruits. As the GMT clan scene began to stutter, Forsaken slowly but surely became a home for others who were left homeless after their clan’s closure. Forsaken’s warm community made them forget about their past rivalries, resulting in former enemies instead becoming brothers in arms. Our success was recognized by others, resulting in the Zybez ‘best newcomer clan’ award at the end of 2010. On the other side, success breeds jealousy. As was the case with Forsaken. Though, minor nuisances and rivalries rarely if ever meant a setback. Withstanding many tests, Forsaken continued to grow. During the summer of 2011, Forsaken managed to achieve some of its most important successes, beating many other GMT rivals and improving its organisation.

Key players in Forsaken's history were those who stood out as regular members:
By the end of the summer of 2011, Forsaken had become a well-established and respected GMT contender. Forsaken made their case in early September, showing the clan world they had the ambition to break into the top ten. Clearing FOOLS within an hour, outperforming AA in their own timezone and ending RR during a late EST weekday fight were all signs that Forsaken was on the rise and ready to take on more.
To make that push, Forsaken had to challenge themselves. And challenge themselves they did. Even though Forsaken was primarily PVP-oriented, both members and officials realized clan wars practice was a necessity in order to improve organization. So they practiced against CWA teams while simultaneously challenging a number of top clans in the GMT timezone. They knew that this was what had to be done in order to make that push in terms of quality. That practice paid off, allowing Forsaken to compete with the likes of TT, RSD and even comfortably beating Solace after they called FSK a 'fourth rate clan'.
Of course it wasn't all sunshine, lollipops and rainbows. At times Forsaken struggled, losing fights against clans they were eager to beat. Forsaken would sometimes even get crashed or sniped by opponents who were defeated during previous fights. However, it never meant Forsaken's members and officials gave up. It was only ever a reason to continue to try and improve. That struggle defined the clan. By the time Forsaken came to an end, Forsaken was a stable and respected top ten clan.
