History (2005-2011)[edit | edit source]
Final Ownage (FO) was founded on March 19th 2005, FO started out as a 49 combat pking clan and eventually became one of the best pure clans in Runescape. As a clan they trained together, and grew as a whole. Competition with developed pure clans was hard for FO, but they remained strong and continued their clan. Some who wanted power left and that left the passionate FO’s in an outrage. In July 2005, FO kicked out the inactive and unworthy and made huge ramifications to their clan. It was then that those loyal to Final Ownage took on a new name: Final Ownage Elite.

FOE began to post around community forums such as Zybez, Sals, and Runevillage in an effort to get members and soon was pulling 20+ people on a regular, day to day basis if need be, establishing forums and IRC channels, and the clan began to become noticed by the clanning community at large.

Whilst these young, low leveled F2P clans were jockeying for position, Final Ownage Elite had been training hard. Realizing that Mayhem Makers were the only other P2P clan that was growing at a rapid rate, the two formed an early alliance as FOE were far lower leveled and outnumbered and couldn't really offer decent fights to MM. However, as the year progressed, FOE trained and trained and before long they were at a level at which Mayhem Makers first began to see that this new "FOE" clan could potentially have a future in the pure community, a correct assumption to make.

It is here that the classic, better part of a decade rivalry began to develop. It began from little things initially, flames on forums, perhaps a wilderness bs that upset someone. The two still held PK trips together on occasion and participated in fun events, but the element of competition was slowly being introduced into the relationship, something which would captivate the pure community for the next decade.

Final Ownage Elite entered 2006 in good shape. They were proving they weren't the typical, disorganized pure clan that fell apart in a week, but actually had merit in a community that had been absolutely dominated by MM up until that point. Competition became hot, and FOE were pulling ahead as the undisputed #1 F2P Pure clan, thanks to their organisation and high levels. However, a new strong clan Supreme 0wnage were at a point where they felt they could challenge the might of the F2P giants Final Ownage Elite. After existing for just five months, Supreme 0wnage destroyed FOE in their full out, winning with over 50 members still remaining on the battlefield. After SO closing a couple of moths later, Fatality began to dominate the F2P scene, with no real challengers. Clans such as TLP, FOE, CP, AAO, BP, and KO couldn't really challenge their dominance despite all clans getting better.

FOE, alongside with other top level clans were in somewhat of a static position throughout early 2007. Fatality were far too strong to be dethroned; Mayhem Makers, TLP, and FOE were focused on things other than competitive Clan vs Clan warfare and when they did put effort into it, it would be on the P2P server predominantly with little to note about their F2P trips.

FOE as the trifecta of dominant P2P pure clans began to establish "honor rules" around this period, based on the rules of honor main clans like Damage Incorporated. These were as simple as no tele'ing on trips, no hacking, no PJ'ing, and were strictly enforced. It was easier to enforce back then because the pure community was smaller and reputation was everything. These honor rules filtered down to the other clans and the most part, the community was bound by this honor code which went a long way towards making the atmosphere a good one.

With summer, even more clans were coming to prominence, expanding the lower-tier clan pure community which was undergoing a renaissance. While, Eruption of Pures at this time were a top clan destroying all the competition, leaving clans such as AAO, FOE, TH, and CP were high levelled, highly organised, with high numbers, yet still couldn't beat EOP. EOP continued to grow and continued to beat Fatality weekly, pulling over 250 opts every week and becoming as untouchable as Fi were during their period of domination. Below them and Fatality, there were TH, Cp, MM, AAO, and FOE were all in contendership for #3 - #7, with several other clans below them.

Things continued to thrive in the community with rivalries, full outs, PKRI's, and drama on the Pure Community website all contributing to the excitement. Fatality were at the top of the pile, TH and CP were continuing their rivalry with a newly invigorated FOE getting involved with a fullout with Corrupt Pures which they won.

Jagex had been mentioning their plans to remove "real world trading" from the game, including a trade cap. What no one was expecting, however, was how far they were willing to go. The day after the final full out war in the "old wilderness" between Epidemic and IR, on the 10th December 2007 the wilderness was torn from the game and replaced with "Bounty Hunter Craters". The outrage was tremendous, as it completely changed pure clanning forever. No one knew what was going on, and the entire community balanced on a knife edge as clan leaders came together to discuss how they would proceed. The BH Craters were split into three categories, level 3 to 55, level 50 to 100, and level 95+, which presented a problem for the lower leveled clans who were the first casualty of Jagex's decision. The top clans had the numbers and closeness of levels to use the middle crater. Despite this, most clans simply ignored BH as they strategised there next move, with most clans entering a month long slump after huge portions  of their memberbases quit after the ridiculous updates which removed single PK'ing from the game, something that the pure community was built on. Clans were confused, leaderships were confused, and in them first two days more than 10 good, established clans closed their doors. Despite a few weeks of successful low crater rivalries, it simply wasn't the same.

Final Ownage Elite were finally forced to make clan vs clan warfare their focus with the removal of 1 vs 1 PK'ing and chose to do this in the P2P BH crater along with Mayhem Makers, making occasional successful forays into F2P.

Notable Rivalries[edit | edit source]
MM - FOE was one of the contributory factors leading to MM closing.

TLP - FOE was one of the contributory factors leading to TLP closing.

EOP - FOE was one of the contributory factors leading to EOP closing in January 2019 after an intense rivalry.

Apex - EOP and Misfits mass joined Apex which resulted in a 3 month rivalry from January 2019 to March 2019. Apex ended up slumping from a peak 220 man pull to 35 man weekend pulls.

Rage - Since no other clan other than Rage could pull the numbers FOE was pulling to their weekend trips, the rivalry vs Rage happened. Although Rage was struggling to gain or maintain their pulls, meaning no clean 1v1 fights was offered for the most part. The rivalry is still going on.
