The Forerunners / FRPMC

Forerunners is a community that was founded in a game called spiral knights in the year 2012 by three brothers and 2 friends which lasted up until 2015. It’s original purpose was to serve as a pve community built to guide new players into becoming veterans and in turn having those veterans guide more new players.

When the guild died out in 2015 as most communities of this nature do, it was thought that this community would be buried in the sands of time and forgotten about. The founders thought the same and everyone had moved on to different endeavours in life, still maybe catching up once in a blue moon.

All was thought to continue as normal until the year of 2021. One of the founders had found himself in a new mmo by the name of phantasy star online 2 with some friends and former guild members from spiral knights. Things were different here however, where they were all apart of a different group entirely.

This was not to last, drama soon introduced itself into the mix. Long term friendships were severed and a divide started to form in this other group. Leadership of this community did little to address the issue in it’s entirety and eventually chose a side rather than remaining unbiased. Those who wanted to separate would have either wanted to never join another community again or move on and fade into silence.

The remaining Forerunner founder felt the need at this point in time to rekindle the old flame of the community he was once apart of. This was done for the sole purpose of not letting things end off on such a sour note with no real thought for the long term. From there 15 others followed along and from there they all worked together to build a new community.

It bared the same name as the older guild from 2012 and while it somewhat did serve the same purpose, it ended up standing for a lot more and when the game the community formed started to decline it still persisted. Now it serves as a multi game community for people from all across the globe to make friends.

Bias, min maxing and people who put themselves above others were traits that surrounded the leadership of what lead to the revival of the Forerunner name. Traits that seem to be common in the modern online space, traits that can harm untapped potential. This community stands in defiance of those traits and will continue to do so for as long as it can.
