Former Lortex Colonel here from the Wardency era, it was really nice to see that the group didn't die as silently as I thought it would and getting to see some history I only loosely heard of from assosiates in the group. Safe to say this video does summarize my experience well and I'd like to thank you for compiling it's history and bringing it up for everyone to see.
Like everything in this world has their own purpose as its beginning and also their end, the world pretty much works in cyclical pattern. This group existed as an example of obvious microcosm, with its beginning as a shady scamming group only to be revived as a sword fighting clan by a strong persona only to fall after said person retired from the group; Only to fall back into its primary purpose as its own end, and one of its strong member remade the group as a sword fighting clan again only to fall into obscurity once again. Like that adage that points to the transcendent Logos*, "history does not repeat itself, but it rhymes". the Alpha and the Omega*
These Roblox group videos are always really interesting. One of my favorites is Pinewood Builders, which has been around for over 15 years at this point and still going strong, with its games still being updated to this day and having a very rich history to it, including subgroups such as a security team, emergency response team, and a spinoff group called "The Mayhem Syndicate" for the security team to fight against. I'd love to see a video about it sometime!
Darkggod here - Nice video essay, I respect how much old information you were able to find from the old days and were able to put it all together like this. It was nice to see my old clans past like this, but some facts were wrong but still a cool video to see nonetheless. If you ever make an updated version and want to chat about some of the stuff back then I'd be happy to.
I remember having friends who were in Lortex a few years ago, I had to step away from Roblox for a while and when I finally got to playing it again I nearly completely forgot about Lortex. It's wild how much they've gone forgotten.
i believe "The Family" (ive been apart of similar clans) Is a group for "Royalty" or high ranks. The group may have ecncompassed such themes especially with the use of "Fatherland" Which was used alot back in the day historically to describe a nations land. This point is further proven by literally the owners of LS being called "Emperor"
Pretty cool. I love to see these warclan documentaries. I'd suggest perhaps you do VAK next. One of the very few really old clans to still have their original leader, the most dominant clan, the most hated and ifamous clan, and still today we clanners agree it's the undisputed top clan across history. With only really RAT, and VOID really coming close to it's dominance, and they're both long gone. RAT's successor GUF hasn't been as active nowadays, and there hasn't been a legit VOID successor really ever that last more than a month or two. A video on VAK sounds very interesting not going to lie since their history is so long and historic. It would probably take a lot of effort to make a video on them however. I'll admit I'm personally not a VAK guy I'm much more of a SURGE guy myself which is one of the other rival "filter group" clans.
Filter Groups are all kinda funny in modern time because they are all owned by terrible people or have had terrible hicom in the past 2 years. I think Vak is the best right now because their pedophile incidents was like 2 years ago, vs Sols which was like 3 months ago, both incidents of pedophiles were defended by the owner of the clan for a while. Surge is owned by a doxxer (who is also a front page dev) and op is also owned by someone who threatens to doxx someone. the 4 top filter clans are all bad bruh how did clanning get this bad.
It's so unfortunate how such a cool Roblox group with such greatness could go downhill... It's very saddening, and if it wasn't for Wardency, the group probably could've survived.
library of clans represent! lortex security is super cool, but theres so much lore that runs so deep in clans in general its a great area of roblox to explore and show to more people with how interesting it can be!

Roblox clans are really cool. I went around the roblox forum archive and saw a lot about older war clans. Current war clans are pathetic clans where being a 'power clan' is given value and players are filtered based on skill. The clans of old were just tight-knit groups of players fighting each other. Roblox's first clan Phoenix Fire made by Jacobxxduel (Reverse_Polarity) started the tradition of trying to grow clans as large as possible and this was continued by clans like the X-101st. It is a pity how war clans have fallen. The good 'super'clans are no longer traditional war clans(gun clans/sword clans) but clans that are confined to a select few games. These clans by definition are not superclans due to being a part of a niche game with a niche playerbase. Platform-wide clans are just gone and the remnants are a shadow of their past. A good example is the RSF which is now too focused on Roblox Clan League. The clan league led to a halt on the old platform wide wars and tech improvements which is unfortunate
You should really check out the Third Noob Division, they're a clan that doesn't focus on power clanning and instead utilizes giant wave tactics of the old.
True, I develop for a super-clan and development for most clans have been stagnant for years. Not much changes because a ton of clans have big pride and only care about winning, this makes a few clans keep degenerate users and cheaters in their group so that they can win.
It got too competition focused instead of purely having fun. Current clanning is just cheating and many of the groups are led by pdfs and other degenerates.
@@cewla3348 why not just throw it midway? People are probably already hooked and want to finish the video, so long as the segment is short and not too disruptive there shouldn't be issues.

Hey Nitro! You’re pretty big so you probably won’t see this, but around a year ago I got into yo ur content. The things you do have sent me down the rabbit hole of Solidsnake43 and his roleplay group, his metal gear games, and his forum posts. Thanks for inspiring me!
Please cover FEAR next, this video really got me interested in the lore of FEAR, which i knew nothing about before this video, and i would like to see a video made about it
Yk I actually remember being in a tycoon game when I was very young with a buyable Lortex Security suit in it (which I only bought one part of because I was broke at the time) and that was basically my only interaction with the group at all. Ty for another great vid nitro!!
I joined roblox on the day Tix were cancelled, and even then you sometimes heard of these guys. I was like 7 years old at the time though so it seemed more like a bunch of tryhards who ruined my fun more than anything else
I would love to see this come back. I played Roblox back in 2016, and I did hear about Vortex Security, but never Lortex Security. I never joined any of these groups. This may be because I wasn't on Roblox too much (maybe one every other week), but I do not remember too much about it.
Eh it’s another online space that’s existed for over a decade, lore will start existing shortly after the beginning of the existance of literally everything
I love this video so much! I hope you never stop making this kind of content because yours are some of the most unique Roblox videos I've ever seen, you have my endless support.
Great video, love all the group videos. Another group that would be cool to see a vid on would be TNI, very interested to what Nitro would have to say about the group
It’s crazy seeing this groups history. I have lots of friends from Imperial Legion which was a big clan group around then. Also seeing clans like Frost Clan, TRA, and Eclipse. Brought back memories as I was apart of some of them as well as other clans. I’d like to see more videos about clanning groups if you have anymore ahead. Keep it up.
2016 robloxian here I only recall slight mentions but not too much since i was more interested with FEAR, Vaktovia etc. the even more ironic thing about your video is it almost has exactly 300,000 views.
you absolutely need to make a vid about the roblox easter basket because there is so little info about it on the internet and one of my fav items came from it (korblox grand marshal, and NO its not ugly)
Maybe do a vid on Centaura? Most people talk about the game, the game has groups similar to clans The main game is where they fight which is really cool
Damn, this brings back memories. Former member of Vortex Special Ops, The Raven Empire, The Robloxian Army (TRA) and Iron Force here. Those clan wars was really one of Roblox's peak days in our history of gaming. It's the closest thing we have to psuedo MMO RPG clan wars outside of actual MMO RPG games. I remember vividly being bored out of my mind back in elementary school and decided to randomly play in one of the group's HQ map. Cut some one hour later and a damn raid was launched. Luckily there was a Sergeant with us who alerted the group, and within minutes about 8 to 10 defenders showed up to reinforce the line. I was manning the mortar pit with a Corporal. The defenses held for the next two hours. Wild days.
Oh my god watching this video as someone was big into armies from 2010 to 2015, these names being mentioned is an intense throwback. I remember meeting so many of these players.
Man I remember back when I was 12 years old when I first joined roblox back in 2017 I played disaster hotel which was connected to lortex security so I joined the group to get vip. In disaster hotel they even had like the uniform you could buy in spawn and I think I bought it. Ah memories.
I may be mistaken but I remember going to some superclans fort one day for a raid and I said something about one of the groups higher ranks or leaders being an ODer and I remember being server banned. IBURNING looks real familiar and it wouldn’t surprise me if that’s who banned me LOL
its really crazy to think that the people who made the roblox events at twin atlas are former clanners and yet, no one knows about clanning, only larping
Anyone remember the days of the various public raids against this group that were hosted on the forums? One of the most memorable of such raids for me was that time I lead a raid at their Communications Tower fort where I crashed a helicopter that was taking fire into the defender spawn, then I held out behind their helipad until their helicopter would respawn which I then used to escape. Another notable raid was when me and ~10-12 others were raiding, and during the middle of a raid, like 20 people from another clan arrived and flooded the server, with their forces being split up; with their forces in the first server helping me and my forces win. I miss the days of public raids on the forums.
you should cover roblox clans next, vaktovia, the imperial insurgence, the robine and more, this genre of roblox isnt really explored as much anymore but it still exists to this day and many people participate in the clans, i think it would be interesting to go over the history of clans for a video
Very informative video, you dug deep, ngl. Sorry I didn't get back to you soon enough for the interview, I appreciate you for trying to get a hold of me, I tried to reply, but you never got back to me. There was a lot to LS, but yea pretty ironic it died how it started. Part of me misses being a part of Lortex the way I was, I used to be HR for the clan, but yea, Wardency didn't really care enough about the clan to actually lead it, if anything, Epicency, or Apollyoff as you called him did all the leading, to my memory, while I was HR, Marinist came back for a brief moment, but stepped down because of Wardency's stubbornness. Also, currently LAF is in development by a new leader, the question just lies on whether or not it'll go further than it did.
I miss this kind of clanning. It was so fun back then. People had passion, no so serious, & overall very interactive. But Now war clanning is ran by elitism like a esports team.
Lol, no wonder I thought Lortex was a Vortex Security (later renamed to Vortex Special Operations or "VSO") redesign. Wish I could have gone through more with them, but by the time I joined, VSO was already in the gutter. Barely anyone was online anymore and the owner gradually became inactive, with only a few officers like "Talha", Wristman, and a few others remaining. My memory is telling me I became an officer in that group but I can't remember anymore. I truly wish I could've lived through those times, but alas, all empires must fall.
This is an amazing video. I've raided that Lortex Security base with the tower before but I wasn't ever in Lortex Security. That was a really fun and unique base. RIP Lortex 🙏 One of the clans I wish you would cover is UCR or United Clan of ROBLOX. It was the 18th group created on roblox (id 18), and still going
I have a quite history to tell is about a game called "Town" which had only 2k players at the time the unique fact about town it was because of the inside clans of the game. As the game were building and fighting with guns and realistic damage and Physical fall damage. At 2022 i had become a co owner of a 60 players group and commander of the B.S.D elite force which has on max 3 members as it was almost impossible to pass the test it if you had no plan or anything. Once at the time we found about a group called "BL" which had 500 members (the largest clan of the game) which were 1/4 of the entire game players, we started a war against them but we soon found out that BL suffered of almost no training. BL was extremely hated by the clan community of the game so a new super clan was created with the proposes of removing BL out of the game, the super clan were formed by BLS, B.O.P.E, national task force, lubensacht empire and other small clans. With all theses clans agaist him we started raiding his training and protect how were getting raided by them. And they were quite bad as a time i got locked in a house against 7 of them i sill won against them By late 2022 we found out that BL leader was a pedo and racist, how we found out? Because we had 20 spys inside their clan and one got a high rank, once we found theses things we reported to the devs and he soon got banned and i cant find anymore his account.
my friend was big into clanning from 2013-2023 when he retired. his brother was doing it since 2010 there was this clan that he was part of called csp (canton strategic protocol) and it used to be one of the best clans at the time you had to be a very good clanner to rank up in their group, and long story short the owner sold the group to a guy for around 100k real dollars (i know thats literally insane) and that new owner ruined the group. i dont know what happened on the inside of the group since im not a clanner but from my understanding he started letting more and more people in for some reason and made it so anyone can be a part of the clan. all of the og members who had worked super hard just to even join the group hated this new owner so most of them just decided to retire
Bro I thought I had a massive Mandela effect watching this video, I question myself "Wait wasn't the group named Vortex?" and then when I watch video I start losing my mind, Biggest plot twist ever
Old roblox lore is such an interesting thing to me. Like who knew a roblox group of a bygone era would have lore I can look at and be intrigued by it. (Redcliffs for one but thats a story for another day)
what i find crazy is that now, copying games doesnt necessarily 'matter' anymore. for example as a lot of people have probably seen these, the "do this to prove mom/dad wrong" games. ive counted at least 15 different people making these copy and paste games. and no one seems to care. same woth fashion games, obbys, simulator games. it doesnt seem to matter anymore if the game was copied, as long as you like it and join their group for rewards. and if it does matter and people are mad, im not hearing anything about it
Sounds like TRA, WIJ, RIC, RAT, FEAR, etc. although FEAR is making somewhat of a comeback. Man I miss the OG clans. edit: This August will make my 13th year on the platform. So many good clans and groups have come and gone. Oh, nostalgia.
Nice video. A piece of constructive criticism: I can only deduce from the content that Marinist is still incredibly upset regarding the events that occurred in 2018-2019, using Nitrolords platform to take out some resentment upon me. Which is fine, stoicism sometimes escapes us. I will say that a small amount of the screenshots both him and the user toast provided are edited to fit their agenda. The video does seem one-sided during the segment about me, perhaps Marinist provided more source material and this is why. It also appears Functionized wasn't interviewed for this content, I'm sure he would've had some not so nice things to say about me too. It's important to understand most of this happened at least six to eight years ago. We were all teenagers, growing up with different circumstances affecting all of our lives. I wasn't a particularly mature or reasonable individual back then, believe me when I tell you the world punished me for it. I can only hope that everyone involved in the history of Lortex learns to let the bad go and instead cherish what great memories we had, even if the bad ones were more plentiful, they to me were not more powerful.
This is entrant. I know we haven't ever really talked, but I enjoyed my time with LS. I didn't stay for long. I was in and out of LS a lot, as you know. I appreciate yall giving me a chance to be an officer. I wish i stuck it out better than I did. It was fun while it lasted..This is kinda saddening how much time has passed and time flies. Ngl, I cried. I don't regret anything. I don't have anything against you. Love ya, man. ❤
ExaltedArchitect/eeoa (one of the developers Marinist mentioned) here. I was in Lortex when I was in middle school / early high school, and I look back fondly on a lot of the memories from that time. There were a lot of frustrating moments, but I also made some core memories with the people in that group. Good times. Should’ve paid me tho. :(
@@discborgIt is the accuser who has to prove the crime exists, not the victim to prove it doesn’t. “Prove these are fabricated”, there’s also zero evidence that the users in question are minors and not 80 year old individuals even if it wasn’t fabricated.

@@WardencyWhy are you so adamant on refusing to accept responsibility? There’s a likely chance you’re either in your late 20’s or even jn your 30’s yet you still behave like a child and refuse to accept any form of responsibility, and instead deflect using strawman fallacies.
Knew that group since 2016 era hence why clicked on the video, but joined there myself as a noob from popular tycoons. Never knew it had such a story...
that's a thing that is happening with ever roblox "group-based roleplay" genres, from modern milsims, "border simulators", and napoleonic era, to SCP foundations and Star Wars-themed groups. You stated the reason for that - "most people got bored and left". It's a shame so many genres died over the years so fast, and while I've seen most people say that it's due to roblox becoming more "corporate", I think the reason is in unrealized potential of these genres (from what I've seen, the gameplay, quality, and game mechanics in general pretty much stagnated in them) and toxic people. As someone who is not a clanner, but was part of many border simulators and SW groups, the amount of toxic people was overwhelmingly high. In genres like SCPF, toxicity reached crazy heights: there were actual divisions dedicated to ESPIONAGE ON OTHER GROUPS! Not in roleplay sense, no, no, but in a sense of actual doxing and "espionage". And there are still people wondering, why group-based roblox roleplay genre died.
@@agentXIRYT I’ve heard of that. But it’s always nice to hear a new perspective on it. Thanks for sharing. Also, I’ve heard of the espionage stuff, and toxic people in scp groups and border groups. It’s sad. Many devs would rather make a “casual” roleplay game for SCP. And make money off of it. Same goes for these clan games and stuff like the US/ British military games where they sell ranks.
@@Dylan-co7hw The general consensus is that there dying. One outcast group that isn’t doesn’t change that. I will watch your montages though. Glad to see your clan isn’t dying!
Lot of it is because of the rise of border games and superclans, I think. The ones that are automated, have players "staffing" their games around the clock, hundreds of officers to pump out events, etc.
I'm a former leader of the older red F.E.A.R, and I always love to see war clan history videos get this much attention, you don't see that much about them outside of the small clan community ever since Roblox shifted away from favoring them, the forums going down, and their development being outpaced by larger modern games. It's always sad to see an old clan die out, but we have some old ones like PL, UCR, and FEAR (which is turning 15 years old in a week). Each clan has such rich history.
I was actually a HR during the Darkggod era and never actually caught on to him being an Od'er lmao. Just thought the Empress rank was part of the 'lore' so to speak. Then there was a whole debacle where another HR basically pleaded for him to be rid of her, and I was one of those who chose to leave alongside.
The story of Lortex is just like a corporation under a billionnaire taking control a mercenary/PMC groups, or basically the Enclave controlling the US Government behind the scenes in Fallout. If Wardency did not take Lortex Security, the group would've thrived as they should be.
It IS still a thing! I reccomend (and sorry for bias lol) joining some of the groups mentioned in the video (The First Encounter Assault Recon, United Clan of Roblox, Frost Clan, The Robloxian Army TRA, etc)
Never heard of LS outside of Futuretops weapon selections, but knowing my history with Innovation Security and The Nighthawk Imperium, kinda sad I joined the clan scene so late in 2018.
It's a video called “(A Brighter Future) HOME - Resonance but the beat order is reversed and it's beats 4 2”. The video is by the channel Resonance Hub.
When I was a kid, 2012 - 2016ish, I joined many "clans/military rp" groups of all kinds, I have never heard of Lortex Security, but I doubt they really had 300,000 members thing is with these groups is they rarely have more than a few hundred actual active players, even if they have tens of thousands of members.
bro VS was awesome, during 2011-2012 was when i got up to SSGT in there part of Foreign Affairs and Military Police, super fun times, majority of war groups i find now are just too toxic so i resorted to joining TRA in the past year that i plan to get a lot more into after i get time to since im mostly making games currently. how the times have changed ;-;

It got too competition focused instead of purely having fun. Current clanning is just cheating and many of the groups are led by pdfs and other degenerates.
RNC is better noobs
the first 20 seconds dedicated to patreons is nice but will surely have alot of people click off the video, thats why you usually save it for the end
Well if it's at the very end people will just click off.
@@The_Random_Guy_200 yes, do you want people to click off at the start or end
@@cewla3348 why not just throw it midway? People are probably already hooked and want to finish the video, so long as the segment is short and not too disruptive there shouldn't be issues.
@@The_Random_Guy_200 middle could work
@@The_Random_Guy_200 With youtube video, retention is very important. When you have it at the start, people click off the video and watch something else after having watched for only 10 seconds. In the middle, they would have only watched half of the actual video. In the end, they would have watched the entire video and would only click off the last 20 seconds which is a thank you for patreons.
Hey Nitro! You’re pretty big so you probably won’t see this, but around a year ago I got into yo ur content. The things you do have sent me down the rabbit hole of Solidsnake43 and his roleplay group, his metal gear games, and his forum posts. Thanks for inspiring me!
Nitro just gave me hours of nostalgia for some random lortex game they had
its always impressive to see how you manage to find and connect every little information from ages ago. great video
Please cover FEAR next, this video really got me interested in the lore of FEAR, which i knew nothing about before this video, and i would like to see a video made about it
Are you talking about the game or group?
@@Ammado-xh8bq both ig, but I'm mostly interested in the group
@@Ammado-xh8bqthe group, prolly
I just checked my inventory and found my Lortex power armor and Lortex airborne armor lol
Found my original Lortex Uniform from 2018.
Yk I actually remember being in a tycoon game when I was very young with a buyable Lortex Security suit in it (which I only bought one part of because I was broke at the time) and that was basically my only interaction with the group at all. Ty for another great vid nitro!!
I joined roblox on the day Tix were cancelled, and even then you sometimes heard of these guys. I was like 7 years old at the time though so it seemed more like a bunch of tryhards who ruined my fun more than anything else
I would love to see this come back. I played Roblox back in 2016, and I did hear about Vortex Security, but never Lortex Security. I never joined any of these groups. This may be because I wasn't on Roblox too much (maybe one every other week), but I do not remember too much about it.
Lortex at it's peak had an army two times bigger then that of the UK right now
roblox has more lore than the earth 😭
except from the fact that roblox's lore is technically the earth's lore, you are nothing more than right bro
Eh it’s another online space that’s existed for over a decade, lore will start existing shortly after the beginning of the existance of literally everything
Fr
Uh...actually...
The groups that started the clan war was redcliff and korblox
Kids would think thats redcliff rp and korblox legless
13:27 Crazy how we used to be against ODers a while back and now it's basically supported by roblox themselves.
I wonder what Rebreb is doing in his life
14:48 You can gather so much from these 2 rules alone, but it seems that 10 years ago wasn't too different from today.
omg this video gave me chills congratulations my guy really liked this! Good luck!
My friend bought a sword group that was called lortex, I don't actually know if it's related to this group but that's pretty coo
Lortex Armed Forces? I believe it’s a reboot clan. However not sure if whoever made that group owns the rights to Lortex. Wardency owns the rights
I feel like you should make a video on Roblox war groups in general. They felt like a lost art; a concept lost to time.
I love this video so much! I hope you never stop making this kind of content because yours are some of the most unique Roblox videos I've ever seen, you have my endless support.
@@MattSheridan818 thanks a bunch!
Great video, love all the group videos. Another group that would be cool to see a vid on would be TNI, very interested to what Nitro would have to say about the group
It’s crazy seeing this groups history. I have lots of friends from Imperial Legion which was a big clan group around then. Also seeing clans like Frost Clan, TRA, and Eclipse. Brought back memories as I was apart of some of them as well as other clans. I’d like to see more videos about clanning groups if you have anymore ahead. Keep it up.
2016 robloxian here I only recall slight mentions but not too much since i was more interested with FEAR, Vaktovia etc. the even more ironic thing about your video is it almost has exactly 300,000 views.
you absolutely need to make a vid about the roblox easter basket because there is so little info about it on the internet and one of my fav items came from it (korblox grand marshal, and NO its not ugly)
Maybe do a vid on Centaura?
Most people talk about the game, the game has groups similar to clans
The main game is where they fight which is really cool
0:44 my man could've said a bird joke by saying swoop but ignored it
ngl one single second doesnt even sound that cool as swoop
Damn, this brings back memories. Former member of Vortex Special Ops, The Raven Empire, The Robloxian Army (TRA) and Iron Force here. Those clan wars was really one of Roblox's peak days in our history of gaming. It's the closest thing we have to psuedo MMO RPG clan wars outside of actual MMO RPG games.
I remember vividly being bored out of my mind back in elementary school and decided to randomly play in one of the group's HQ map. Cut some one hour later and a damn raid was launched. Luckily there was a Sergeant with us who alerted the group, and within minutes about 8 to 10 defenders showed up to reinforce the line. I was manning the mortar pit with a Corporal. The defenses held for the next two hours.
Wild days.
Oh my god watching this video as someone was big into armies from 2010 to 2015, these names being mentioned is an intense throwback. I remember meeting so many of these players.
Man I remember back when I was 12 years old when I first joined roblox back in 2017 I played disaster hotel which was connected to lortex security so I joined the group to get vip. In disaster hotel they even had like the uniform you could buy in spawn and I think I bought it.
Ah memories.
I may be mistaken but I remember going to some superclans fort one day for a raid and I said something about one of the groups higher ranks or leaders being an ODer and I remember being server banned. IBURNING looks real familiar and it wouldn’t surprise me if that’s who banned me LOL
There’s 1 thing Roblox clan RPs have in common with real life nations: They both have a long and rich history, waiting to be discovered.
its really crazy to think that the people who made the roblox events at twin atlas are former clanners
and yet, no one knows about clanning, only larping
Nice video keep up the good work nitro!❤😊
I love these videos. It would be interesting to see one on LMAD and the vast empire of StickMaster Likes wealth
another great video the history of the roblox community is one of my favorite things and you do this subject perfectly
honestly not surprised a copy of vortex security ended up like this.
“Known as the most feared organization on roblox”
Shiver me Timbers
I got a Lortex shirt way back in the day and had no idea that all this history was behind it. Very illuminating.
never heard of lortex till today
Anyone remember the days of the various public raids against this group that were hosted on the forums?
One of the most memorable of such raids for me was that time I lead a raid at their Communications Tower fort where I crashed a helicopter that was taking fire into the defender spawn, then I held out behind their helipad until their helicopter would respawn which I then used to escape.
Another notable raid was when me and ~10-12 others were raiding, and during the middle of a raid, like 20 people from another clan arrived and flooded the server, with their forces being split up; with their forces in the first server helping me and my forces win.
I miss the days of public raids on the forums.

you should cover roblox clans next, vaktovia, the imperial insurgence, the robine and more, this genre of roblox isnt really explored as much anymore but it still exists to this day and many people participate in the clans, i think it would be interesting to go over the history of clans for a video
Very informative video, you dug deep, ngl. Sorry I didn't get back to you soon enough for the interview, I appreciate you for trying to get a hold of me, I tried to reply, but you never got back to me. There was a lot to LS, but yea pretty ironic it died how it started. Part of me misses being a part of Lortex the way I was, I used to be HR for the clan, but yea, Wardency didn't really care enough about the clan to actually lead it, if anything, Epicency, or Apollyoff as you called him did all the leading, to my memory, while I was HR, Marinist came back for a brief moment, but stepped down because of Wardency's stubbornness. Also, currently LAF is in development by a new leader, the question just lies on whether or not it'll go further than it did.
The wedding?
No, no, I can't make it.
New Nitrolord video just dropped.
I miss this kind of clanning. It was so fun back then. People had passion, no so serious, & overall very interactive. But Now war clanning is ran by elitism like a esports team.
man i love this guy he always teaches us roblox history that we dont know keep it up man
I miss old nitrolord guy :(
Yes we miss old him now hes a furry:c😥
cry abt it
Lol, no wonder I thought Lortex was a Vortex Security (later renamed to Vortex Special Operations or "VSO") redesign.
Wish I could have gone through more with them, but by the time I joined, VSO was already in the gutter. Barely anyone was online anymore and the owner gradually became inactive, with only a few officers like "Talha", Wristman, and a few others remaining. My memory is telling me I became an officer in that group but I can't remember anymore. I truly wish I could've lived through those times, but alas, all empires must fall.
This is an amazing video. I've raided that Lortex Security base with the tower before but I wasn't ever in Lortex Security. That was a really fun and unique base. RIP Lortex 🙏
One of the clans I wish you would cover is UCR or United Clan of ROBLOX. It was the 18th group created on roblox (id 18), and still going
Never heard of them, seems to have come about long after I stopped being involved back around the 2010-12 period.
I have a quite history to tell is about a game called "Town" which had only 2k players at the time the unique fact about town it was because of the inside clans of the game. As the game were building and fighting with guns and realistic damage and Physical fall damage.
At 2022 i had become a co owner of a 60 players group and commander of the B.S.D elite force which has on max 3 members as it was almost impossible to pass the test it if you had no plan or anything.
Once at the time we found about a group called "BL" which had 500 members (the largest clan of the game) which were 1/4 of the entire game players, we started a war against them but we soon found out that BL suffered of almost no training.
BL was extremely hated by the clan community of the game so a new super clan was created with the proposes of removing BL out of the game, the super clan were formed by BLS, B.O.P.E, national task force, lubensacht empire and other small clans. With all theses clans agaist him we started raiding his training and protect how were getting raided by them. And they were quite bad as a time i got locked in a house against 7 of them i sill won against them
By late 2022 we found out that BL leader was a pedo and racist, how we found out? Because we had 20 spys inside their clan and one got a high rank, once we found theses things we reported to the devs and he soon got banned and i cant find anymore his account.
25:16 can we just appreciate how amazing this song is
my friend was big into clanning from 2013-2023 when he retired. his brother was doing it since 2010
there was this clan that he was part of called csp (canton strategic protocol) and it used to be one of the best clans at the time
you had to be a very good clanner to rank up in their group, and long story short the owner sold the group to a guy for around 100k real dollars (i know thats literally insane) and that new owner ruined the group. i dont know what happened on the inside of the group since im not a clanner but from my understanding he started letting more and more people in for some reason and made it so anyone can be a part of the clan. all of the og members who had worked super hard just to even join the group hated this new owner so most of them just decided to retire
one of your best vids yet!
Thank u!
Bro I thought I had a massive Mandela effect watching this video, I question myself "Wait wasn't the group named Vortex?" and then when I watch video I start losing my mind, Biggest plot twist ever
Old roblox lore is such an interesting thing to me.
Like who knew a roblox group of a bygone era would have lore I can look at and be intrigued by it. (Redcliffs for one but thats a story for another day)
You need to talk more about this ro-war thing at 10:49 I am so interested now.
what i find crazy is that now, copying games doesnt necessarily 'matter' anymore. for example as a lot of people have probably seen these, the "do this to prove mom/dad wrong" games. ive counted at least 15 different people making these copy and paste games. and no one seems to care. same woth fashion games, obbys, simulator games. it doesnt seem to matter anymore if the game was copied, as long as you like it and join their group for rewards. and if it does matter and people are mad, im not hearing anything about it
Sounds like TRA, WIJ, RIC, RAT, FEAR, etc. although FEAR is making somewhat of a comeback.
Man I miss the OG clans.
edit: This August will make my 13th year on the platform. So many good clans and groups have come and gone. Oh, nostalgia.
Nice video. A piece of constructive criticism: I can only deduce from the content that Marinist is still incredibly upset regarding the events that occurred in 2018-2019, using Nitrolords platform to take out some resentment upon me. Which is fine, stoicism sometimes escapes us. I will say that a small amount of the screenshots both him and the user toast provided are edited to fit their agenda. The video does seem one-sided during the segment about me, perhaps Marinist provided more source material and this is why. It also appears Functionized wasn't interviewed for this content, I'm sure he would've had some not so nice things to say about me too. It's important to understand most of this happened at least six to eight years ago. We were all teenagers, growing up with different circumstances affecting all of our lives. I wasn't a particularly mature or reasonable individual back then, believe me when I tell you the world punished me for it. I can only hope that everyone involved in the history of Lortex learns to let the bad go and instead cherish what great memories we had, even if the bad ones were more plentiful, they to me were not more powerful.
This is entrant. I know we haven't ever really talked, but I enjoyed my time with LS. I didn't stay for long. I was in and out of LS a lot, as you know. I appreciate yall giving me a chance to be an officer. I wish i stuck it out better than I did. It was fun while it lasted..This is kinda saddening how much time has passed and time flies. Ngl, I cried. I don't regret anything. I don't have anything against you. Love ya, man. ❤
why do you talk like a lawyer
ExaltedArchitect/eeoa (one of the developers Marinist mentioned) here. I was in Lortex when I was in middle school / early high school, and I look back fondly on a lot of the memories from that time. There were a lot of frustrating moments, but I also made some core memories with the people in that group. Good times.
Should’ve paid me tho. :(
@@discborgIt is the accuser who has to prove the crime exists, not the victim to prove it doesn’t. “Prove these are fabricated”, there’s also zero evidence that the users in question are minors and not 80 year old individuals even if it wasn’t fabricated. Sure it’s Roblox might be reasonable to assume, might be reasonable to assume it’s fake too? I can craft a screenshot like that of you saying just about anything in 2 minutes, I can fabricate a screenshot of you saying you like hairy waffles boiling in your armpits and there wouldn’t be a thing you could do about it. In fact I’m going to make a screenshot of you saying that, I could even upload it to my channel - does that make it true?
@@WardencyWhy are you so adamant on refusing to accept responsibility? There’s a likely chance you’re either in your late 20’s or even jn your 30’s yet you still behave like a child and refuse to accept any form of responsibility, and instead deflect using strawman fallacies.
I remember meeting the owner in its training game back in 2016,didnt know they were popular
I miss these groups. I switched around between a lot of different groups just to fight in different raids.
Knew that group since 2016 era hence why clicked on the video, but joined there myself as a noob from popular tycoons. Never knew it had such a story...
I somehow still have that group, I can only look at it somehow. But I remembered seeing 1 or 2 active members of it.
So me and 1-2 other people maybe even more still active
This was 50x more interesting than I expected
i got so happy seeing daffy's montage :')
the most i remember about lortex was buying one of their outfits when i was like 7 because i thought it looked cool
Truth is. Roblox clan genre is dying. There’s few raids. Low ACTIVE members. Most people got bored and left. It may come back though.
that's a thing that is happening with ever roblox "group-based roleplay" genres, from modern milsims, "border simulators", and napoleonic era, to SCP foundations and Star Wars-themed groups. You stated the reason for that - "most people got bored and left". It's a shame so many genres died over the years so fast, and while I've seen most people say that it's due to roblox becoming more "corporate", I think the reason is in unrealized potential of these genres (from what I've seen, the gameplay, quality, and game mechanics in general pretty much stagnated in them) and toxic people.
As someone who is not a clanner, but was part of many border simulators and SW groups, the amount of toxic people was overwhelmingly high. In genres like SCPF, toxicity reached crazy heights: there were actual divisions dedicated to ESPIONAGE ON OTHER GROUPS! Not in roleplay sense, no, no, but in a sense of actual doxing and "espionage". And there are still people wondering, why group-based roblox roleplay genre died.
@@agentXIRYT I’ve heard of that. But it’s always nice to hear a new perspective on it. Thanks for sharing. Also, I’ve heard of the espionage stuff, and toxic people in scp groups and border groups. It’s sad. Many devs would rather make a “casual” roleplay game for SCP. And make money off of it. Same goes for these clan games and stuff like the US/ British military games where they sell ranks.
it aint dead, u can watch my montages and everything if that changes ur mind
@@Dylan-co7hw The general consensus is that there dying. One outcast group that isn’t doesn’t change that. I will watch your montages though. Glad to see your clan isn’t dying!
Lot of it is because of the rise of border games and superclans, I think. The ones that are automated, have players "staffing" their games around the clock, hundreds of officers to pump out events, etc.
I'm a former leader of the older red F.E.A.R, and I always love to see war clan history videos get this much attention, you don't see that much about them outside of the small clan community ever since Roblox shifted away from favoring them, the forums going down, and their development being outpaced by larger modern games. It's always sad to see an old clan die out, but we have some old ones like PL, UCR, and FEAR (which is turning 15 years old in a week). Each clan has such rich history.
congrats to red fear for turning 15 (i saw it on Clanware)
I was actually a HR during the Darkggod era and never actually caught on to him being an Od'er lmao. Just thought the Empress rank was part of the 'lore' so to speak. Then there was a whole debacle where another HR basically pleaded for him to be rid of her, and I was one of those who chose to leave alongside.
I have a handful of archived messages that were advertisements for guilds and armys, I joined a couple groups but was never active in any of them
you should try making a video about a modern milsim, like logar province since it has closed a bit ago, might be pretty interesting to watch.
The story of Lortex is just like a corporation under a billionnaire taking control a mercenary/PMC groups, or basically the Enclave controlling the US Government behind the scenes in Fallout.
If Wardency did not take Lortex Security, the group would've thrived as they should be.
this whole clan and clan war stuff looks so cool why isnt this still a thing it sounds so hype
It IS still a thing! I reccomend (and sorry for bias lol) joining some of the groups mentioned in the video (The First Encounter Assault Recon, United Clan of Roblox, Frost Clan, The Robloxian Army TRA, etc)
A video about innovation Inc and pinewood would be cool
I’d happily give u info btw
I joined into this just a little late into the Wardency era, it was dead as hell, but it was SUPER cool looking lol.
Never heard of LS outside of Futuretops weapon selections, but knowing my history with Innovation Security and The Nighthawk Imperium, kinda sad I joined the clan scene so late in 2018.
Dang i remember X-101st we took a few Ls during raids but it was a good experience
13:13 frost clan mentioned! I know a load of hrs in that group
starting your video with a patreon self-ad is the worst possible intro i can think of bro LMAOOO

"(A Brighter Future) HOME - Resonance but the beat order is reversed and it's beats 4 2"
I was a member at around 2014, I remember joining them at times, I always wondered why we died out.
When I was a kid, 2012 - 2016ish, I joined many "clans/military rp" groups of all kinds, I have never heard of Lortex Security, but I doubt they really had 300,000 members thing is with these groups is they rarely have more than a few hundred actual active players, even if they have tens of thousands of members.
bro VS was awesome, during 2011-2012 was when i got up to SSGT in there part of Foreign Affairs and Military Police, super fun times, majority of war groups i find now are just too toxic so i resorted to joining TRA in the past year that i plan to get a lot more into after i get time to since im mostly making games currently. how the times have changed ;-;
