Features people actually use

Built around how we play

Surreal runs on its own system. The spreadsheets retired, and nobody threw them a party.

Competitions for whatever you’re into

A skill, several at once, a boss or teams, in RuneScape or Old School. Standings update every hour, with notes on who’s overtaking whom.

    A class for how you play

    Each month the site looks at what you’ve been up to and gives you a class, each with its own typeface. Pick what sounds like you.

    What sounds like you?
    The Explorer A surreal all-rounder

    Fan mail, not likes

    Anyone can thank anyone. Write a letter, pick a stamp for what it’s for, and it’s theirs to keep.

    Dear Cone Child,

    Thanks for showing me round Falador. Everyone was so welcoming. I promise to behave this time.

    Yours, Durian321

    Every event counts

    Events go up on Discord with sign-ups, and anyone can host one. Attendance is tracked for you, and each week you come along fills a spot on your card, like a coffee shop stamp card.

    Surreal events0/12 weeks

    An empty card. Your first event starts it.

    Ranks you earn, a step at a time

    Hit a rank’s score enough months in a row and it’s yours. Keeping it takes less, and a bad month costs one step, never all of them.

     

    You start as a Member.

    Small on purpose

    100 places, so names stay familiar

    You should recognise the people you play with, not scroll past a crowd.

    Your levels don’t matter

    High stats are nice, but they aren’t the point. We look for good people, not another name on a leaderboard.

    We take our time

    New members don’t need to be loud or maxed, just decent to be around.

    Activity, not homework

    There’s no score to keep your place. It’s there so what you do gets noticed.

    Since 2010

    Sixteen years of clansurreal.com

    Drag through the years. Every version was built for Surreal.

    2010

    Surreal opens

    Surreal starts out for skillers, with its own website and forums, an IRC channel and a 1700 total level requirement. Its motto: “having the quality of a dream; unreal; fantastic.”

    2012

    The HUB

    Until July 2012, activity lived in Google Spreadsheets. Then our own activity system took over, and in November the HUB, a page of links since 2010, became the first page that knew who you were: log in to the forum and it showed your month, your events, your Pick your Poison team and a live leaderboard.

    2013

    The forums

    The forums were home from day one. You introduced yourself there, applied for a two week trial and, sooner or later, joined a forum game. In 2011 alone, members wrote over 50,000 posts.

    2015

    Two RuneScapes

    A Tier 7 Citadel in 2014, “absolutely stunning for a clan our size”. Then in May 2015, Surreal goes Old School, with its own division and its own staff.

    Secret Santa starts this year. Surreal has swapped presents most Decembers since.

    2019

    Discord, and a comeback

    Surreal votes to swap TeamSpeak for Discord in 2016, the same year the HUB learns to show how close you are to your next rank and who your rivals are. In 2018 an all-new HUB lets you choose which account competes, and in 2020, as Archaeology lands and everyone’s at home, Surreal comes back full-time.

    The award forBest Bankstanding

    The yearly awards, voted by members. Real categories, every one.

    2026

    The HUB, grown up

    After fifteen years and more than 160,000 posts, Surreal moved off the forums and onto Discord and a new Surreal site: what the HUB set out to be in 2012, after more than a decade of building. Everyone rejoined from scratch.

    Today

    Together this time

    We tried Old School in 2015, but it never really took off. This is our first real go at it, and our most ambitious step yet: one Surreal, one membership, and a great experience across RuneScape, Old School and Dragonwilds.
