Jagex announced their biggest update to Runescapre since Dungeons of Daemonheim was released and it is called Clan Citadels and it looks like it could be bigger than the previous mentioned update.

Clan Citadel will see floating castles appear, which answers the question that was on the mind of a lot of Runescape players about the falling rocks from the sky. Now Clan Citadels are a lot like player housing in the way they are instanced out and allows clans to build inside the instanced zone with a full-blown Battleground editor with all the tools needed to create and develop their very own piece of Runescape. Clans which have a Clan citadel can have capture the flag or full Clan V clan matches with other clans if they wish too.

The update is open for free to play and paid subscribers. There will be 4 citadel layouts and have your citadel be in sunshine or night, each citadel will have portal grounds (which is used to enter and leave the citadel (one will be on the ground too), meeting rooms, senates and party rooms. You will also be able to add banners and flags which have your clans colours.

Daniel Clough VP of Runescape commented on the updated by saying.

“For over a decade RuneScape has pioneered MMO development and the launch of Clan Citadels will once again prove RuneScape’s commitment to creating truly unique and innovative content. Since our last clan update in April we have seen more than 1 million RuneScape players sign up to one of the 150,000+ in-game clans, so we felt it an important move to give them all something of this scale to support their clans and we know that they will be hugely looking forward to it. This update has been designed to make RuneScape’s clan support the envy of MMO world. We know that the functionality and gameplay on offer will appeal to clans from other MMO’s who long for better group play experiences and we warmly invite new clans to check out the update and judge for themselves just what RuneScape has to offer.”

Jagex have also released some artwork and a trailer for the update which can be seen below.
