Clan Citadel

Clan Citadels were released on 26 July 2011 to clans who have five or more subscribing members. They were first introduced in a teaser on the RuneScape homepage. In the news post announcing the impending update, The RuneScape Team stated that the update will be members only and claimed that Clan Citadels would be very customizable and would be tiered. It also showed that clan members would have to collect resources to build them.

There are dozens of hotspots for you and your clan to make your own. Of these hotspots, a maximum of seven are skill-related, allowing players and their clans to train skills together. Although the experience received will be slightly lower than would be received on the surface of RuneScape, skilling there will contribute to the maintenance of the citadel, allowing players and clans to upgrade it from tier 1 to tier 7. As the citadel gets upgraded, players and clans gain access to better customization options and even more hotspots. Contribute enough to the weekly upkeep of the citadel and players will have access to a clan ring, which will give a temporary 1.5x multiplier in certain skill tasks about RuneScape. Clan Citadel guards walk around and guard the main gate.

Each clan can gather in many areas of their Clan Citadel – in meeting rooms, a senate, a party room – but the centrepiece is the clan battlefield. This offers players and their clan a large area to battle together or face-off against other clans, and a full-blown Battlefield Editor to create combat situations or minigames.

There are over 4,000 new models and over 20,000 new animation frames added to the game for Clan Citadels.

Resources cannot be taken out of the citadel.

Like the Clan Cloaks, it requires you to have five currently subscribed members in your clan at all times.

It was been hinted by Mod Petal that the boulders that fell on 2 July 2011 are connected to the Clan Citadels.

Clan Citadels may be the first content in RuneScape to feature sky boxes, as the Clan Citadels teasers contains them, and Mod Nexus stated "The video footage is all from in-game. We didn't "cheat" or use post effects to make it look prettier or shinier, it really does look like that."

It has been confirmed by Mod Timbo that Clan Citadels cannot be officially named in-game. He also stated that the Clan Citadels would be given some lore references before its release the "tons" of them after they are released.

When free players enter the teleport portal, they find themselves in a cutscene showing them around a completed clan citadel.

Pre-release
Citadels were first introduced in a teaser on the RuneScape homepage. In the news post announcing the impending update, The RuneScape Team stated that the update will be members only and claimed that Clan Citadels would be very customizable and would be tiered. It also showed that clan members would have to collect resources to build them.

Falling rocks that fell from the sky on 12 July were a teaser for the upcoming citadels.

Glitches
Since the Clan Citadels are a reahjsonably new feature, there are most likely many glitches and bugs to be found later on. There are currently two known glitches:

Visible shield while sitting Inside the Keep, there is a circular platform for making speeches and such. The platform is sided by two 3x4 sections of benches and there is the option Sit-on Bench, where your character will do just that if clicked. However, if a shield is being held while your character sits, it will remain therejg while sitting. If your character sits, then equips a shield, the same thing will happen.

Player stack If a player chooses to sit on a bench where another player is already sitting, it will excecute regardless. More than one person can be sitting on the samghje space of bench, though only one will be visible.

Trivia
When you go into a Clan Citadel you are put on a different world than the one you were originally signed into. There are a few different worlds, that are believed to be assigned specifically for Clan Citadels, that you may jump to.

Currently, all worlds assosciated with the Clan Citadel are worlds 173+. They do not appear in the Lobby screen. You MUST enter your Citadel to be switched to one of these worlds.
