Chapter 1. "Risen from the ashes"

April 2010 - December 2010

 

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

• Grande: Holding a rank in Golden Sun as well as Forsaken, he was the original warlord, motivator and caller of the clan. Determined to succeed, Grande never accepted anything but everyone’s best effort. His creed would mark Forsaken’s attitude throughout their existence.
• Jude: Forsaken’s second in command alongside Grande, Jude would play an important part in Forsaken’s trajectory. Though initially struggling, he would later on become one of Forsaken’s best and most popular callers.
• Darkruler633: Already in the first few weeks Bas was the leader most concerned about the community. Taking care of many practical things and communal issues, he made sure everyone’s achievements and efforts did not go unnoticed. Bas built the foundations upon which Forsaken’s community would thrive.
• Ruler Mike5: When the going got tough, Mike was always the person to speak up and step up first. With sheer perseverance and a rare hands-on-mentality he would guide the clan through their rough patches, strengthening Forsaken’s resolve.

Facts and figures

• Forsaken started out by pulling approximately 15 to 20 people. By the end of the year FSK made a name for itself by steadily pulling 30 to 40 people to prepped wilderness fights. The clan became known for its small memberlist and high activity, striving to pull 90% of their memberlist to every prepped wilderness fight. This trend would continue throughout FSK’s history.
• One of the first friends FSK made was a clan called Runite Knights of Finland (RKoF). FSK would often embard on joint PK trips with the Finns, making them not just a friendly competitor but also a long-time ally.
• The first rival Forsaken faced in the GMT timezone was Dutch Generation. During one particular fight in November 2010 Forsaken managed to pull 50 people, a record and impressive feat for a clan that was only several months old. It would not take long before FSK would surpass DG, fighting stronger opponents instead.

Key players

• Mas1991: Sander joined FSK at the very start to soon be part of the sniper unit, SWAT, before making his way up to SWAT leader. Later on he would attain the rank of Captain and even Warlord. His hard work, solid calling and warm attitude made him a keystone of Forsaken’s very foundation.
• Chrisyabsley: Chris was on the lookout for a new, fresh GMT clan that was predominantly oriented on PVP. FSK fulfilled those requirements so Chris decided to apply. His experience as Exercitum warlord made him a valuable asset as he would often organize spur PK trips to keep Forsaken's members active and motivated. It would not take long before he would take on the rank of Captain.
• Ploxis: After the closure of Terminal, Ploxis was on the lookout for a positive GMT clan. He joined Forsaken after hearing positive things about the clan. His positive attitude and excellent work ethic made him a valuable asset, eager to improve and deepen Forsaken’s warm community. Through his work as Council he embodied what it meant to be FSK.
• Countymad: Cameron was originally part of  the RSB scene, but his ambition led him to Forsaken. Swiftly learning the ropes, he eventually made it to Council, eager to prove the world what he and his clan were capable of.

Facts and figures

• Consolidating steady 30 to 40 man pulls, Forsaken would continue to grow. It would not take long before Forsaken started pulling 40 to 50, sometimes even 55 people to prepped wilderness fights. With this surge in numbers Forsaken established themselves as a dominant force in the GMT scene, regularly defeating GMT giants such as TRWF, FOOLS and NG. Forsaken also challenged themselves by fighting the likes of Brutality, Cheer Up, Solace and EoS. The GMT clans were anxious as Forsaken seemed to surpass these ancient giants, stating that Forsaken's dominance would not last past the summer of 2011.
• Forsaken started the year off by fighting smaller clans, though new momentum meant FSK would soon start fighting bigger and better clans. Going from small, somewhat disorganized fights to bigger and tougher fights meant FSK had to step up its organization. A move that symbolized FSK’s transition was the choice for a new clan cloak and the signature purple:Fsk spam. The color purple would replace the classic F's and red cape.
• Forsaken would often embark on spur F2P and P2P PK trips, facing clans in AEST as well as the GMT timezone. This would result in rivalries with two smaller clans, who in the end were not able to stand up to Forsaken and ended up closing. The combination of PK trips and big, planned run-ins kept Forsaken's members busy and entertained. 
• One of Forsaken's phrases came to be during this time: Welcome to GMT. As TR ironically spammed it during a fight, Forsaken decided to adopt it as their personal slogan. This was a defining moment in Forsaken's history. It was the spam with which we would welcome our various opponents.

Key players

• Mike^ (Michele Ac): The Belgian helicopter, Mike, joined Forsaken after his previous clan, TRWF, closed. Though he had many friends in Forsaken, it was never a reason for him to leave TRWF. The day TRWF closed, Mike applied to join Forsaken. He was quickly accepted and it would not take long before he would take on the rank of captain, playing an essential part in the caller line-up required to challenge the many top clans Forsaken fought.
• Chris (Cdishere): Chris, or 'Goatman', had plenty of experience in the clan world and brought exactly that to FSK. Friendly, smart and always down for some banter he was a great addition to Forsaken's warm community. Eventually he was promoted to the Council and would help the staff with a variety of leadership decisions and tasks.
• Jules (Bloodlover): Initially leader of GMT competitor RE, he would later join FSK to soon make it to Captain. His inventive calling and overall resourcefulness quickly made him a valuable addition to the clan.
• Guru: Everyone's favorite Latvian joined Forsaken very early on and was one of Forsaken's most loyal members. As a member of the Council he communicated and operated in a very clear, constructive and critical fashion, making hem an excellent addition to the staff.

Facts and figures

• Forsaken enjoyed a tense rivalry with GMT competitor The Rising. Though at the time of writing TR has become more of an EST clan, in 2012 TR were the last GMT clan ahead of Forsaken. FSK may have come close, but they never truly threatened TR's position in GMT as TR simply outnumbered Forsaken. Nonetheless, the rivalry resulted in heated relations between the two clans and functioned as a catalyst for Forsaken's success. 
• By the start of 2012 Forsaken comfortably defeated Downfall, Echo of Silence, Brutality, and Corruption. Whereas Forsaken struggled against the latter two in earlier fights, by the new year it was clear that Forsaken surpassed them in terms of quality and performance. All four were clans that were convinced they were better than Forsaken. From that underdog position Forsaken managed to outperform all four.
• Towards the end of the summer of 2011 Forsaken continued to pull over 50 people to fights, resulting in a record 68 man pull in early January. As Forsaken started to break into the top ten it still had one of the smallest memberlists in the clan world. In terms of numbers on paper Forsaken was a top 20 clan, but in terms of activity and performance it came close to the top 10. Forsaken always prided itself in its high activity and high expectations from its members, making sure that all those who were involved gave it their best shot. Keeping that activity high was an essential aspect of Forsaken's rise.
• Forsaken came to a close in April 2012. As many of the officials were no longer able to bring up the time because of a variety of real life obligations the staff decided it was for the best to close. Forsaken ended on a high. This is the third and final chapter of Forsaken's history, but as you probably realize it is by no means the end. In 2015 Forsaken reopened to become the clan that it is today. Now you know their history, now you understand what it means to be Forsaken.
