New Age Mafia was a RuneScape mafia clan founded on April 23, 2011, following an internal split within Divine Mafia. The clan was formed by a group of departing members, including several staff and high-ranking individuals, after disagreements over leadership and direction.
History
Origins and Formation
The formation of New Age Mafia can be traced to instability within Divine Mafia in early 2011.
On February 1, 2011, Gw Josep1 stepped down from leadership after two years and appointed Chanman170 and RockisDead as dual leaders. The arrangement led to internal tension, particularly surrounding leadership authority and the direction of the clan. Over time, these disagreements intensified.
By April 22, 2011, discussions had begun among several members about leaving Divine Mafia to form a new clan. On April 23, 2011, New Age Mafia was officially founded by RockisDead, Cowhidepie, Godcody, Fredter, Ef beochxl, Goalie nub, gf binladen, A Nerd is Fat, D r a k o n, Can I plow u, Overlimit101, and 420 high 247.
The departure of these members resulted in a noticeable reduction in Divine Mafia’s active membership and marked a significant organizational split.
Early Development
Following its founding, New Age Mafia experienced steady early growth.
Throughout mid-2011, the clan expanded its membership and developed its internal structure. A citadel was established on July 26, 2011, reflecting a level of organizational maturity. Membership milestones were reached over the following months, including 100 members by August 24, 2011.
The clan also progressed rapidly in total experience, surpassing 1 billion experience by September 14, 2011. Shortly after, a 120+ combat requirement was introduced on September 17, 2011, indicating a shift toward more selective recruitment.
Relations with Divine Mafia
Relations between Divine Mafia and New Age Mafia were initially uncertain following the split.
In July 2011, Gw Josep1 returned to leadership of Divine Mafia in an effort to stabilize the clan. During this period, attempts were made to establish cooperation between the two groups. A peace agreement was briefly reached, and a potential merger was discussed.
New Age Mafia ultimately declined the merger proposal, choosing to remain independent. Following this decision, relations deteriorated, and both clans engaged in ongoing hostility, including hit-and-run clan chat raids and competitive recruitment.
Final Days
By October 2011, New Age Mafia experienced internal instability.
A number of staff members resigned within a short period, citing disagreements, internal conflicts, and disruptions within the clan. These departures significantly reduced the clan’s leadership structure.
On October 13, 2011, RockisDead resigned from the clan. This marked a major leadership change and contributed to a broader period of uncertainty within New Age Mafia.
