Clan:LumbridgeCity

Backround and History

Creation and Purpose
LumbridgeCity was created in late 2009 to help teach Runescape players how to Solo Merchant and not get scammed by Price Manipulation clans or resort to devious methods other than playing the game. We are a group of Runescape players who collaberate with eachother to help others about Solo Merchanting and how not to get scammed in the future. We are a growing community with over 100 clan members.

History
After being created, the community began to boom in late 2011. Merchanters came to learn the trade and began to learn the best way to merchant. We switched forums from Php to Ning and our community grew larger. Up until June, our forums were changed back to Php due to Ning charging much higher prices for their forums. Many members left, but others still remained, causing a "Civil War" to break out.

Members of the community protested against Linkbuilder's way of ruling (Dictatorship). He was ready to make exceptions and agreed to a constitution to be made. Despite this, many important merchanters such as Spademan (Ladad) and UsaRoxAll left the clan in hopes of establishing another merchanting clan, and also in hatred of what the clan had turned into. They currently have a clan of their own.

We had then elected the Constitution into law and it was serving as the guidelines to the community. We elected a President of the Council as an acting official, 2nd in command, and the main speaker of the general population.

Yet, this did not prove possible, and soon enough the forums died during a server change. Linkbuilder then changed his mind and decided to divide the population. So now, starting March 15th 2012, his paid program will be released by him, and his admins, Nightfever 3, Lacdad, White Crows, and others, are working on building the free forums.

What we Have to Offer
There are many things that you can do once you are in the clan. The free forums are probably what is best. They have recently been created and are growing in members. We include the latest guides and flips other people are doing in the Merchanting Logs and Screenshots Section. We teach real life formations as well, from the Bottom Formation to the Symmetrical Triangle Formation.

The paid program, the Merchanters Mastermind, is released Starting March 15th at http://lumbridgecity.com. The program teaches real world techniques to use on the Grand Exchange, eventually being able to predict investments in the Chicago Merchantile Exchange as well! These valuable techniques can be applied ingame as well as in real life, helping you rack up some ingame GP and real world knowledge.
