Two new clans. Both seem to have come from the absolute shitfest that is Age of Conan. And they both seem to have captured our hearts and fears for some goddamn reason.
Personally I don't think much of either of them,mainly because playing Age of Conan isn't an achievement by any means.
I know I didn't do a poll last week,but that's because Suitepee feels he no longer needs to do a poll every week now that BETA is imminent.
If anything,I'm either going to make these polls more relevant in due course,or abandon them altogether in a final & grand epic poll to end ALL epic polls.
I'll let both clans explain their history to us. Yes,this is your chance to shine in the Suitepee clan poll spotlight. :)
Suggestions will still be noted of course,so if anything good comes up I'll do one next Monday.
I voted Skullsplitters because they seem more mature of the two,just.

Do AoCers know what is a true PK?
Chain killing a person 6-7 times in a row during 3 minutes so all his hardly gained shit breaks even if he logs out?
Waiting _on purpose_ for the rune dropper to spawn, for the guy to loot, then when he thinks k, its mine, massacring him? Doing that also like 12 times in a row with the same guy and the same rune.
Hell, summoning a random noob sending him a tell like wanna exp with me and one shotting him? On different chars during a week?
Taking a guild into nation with sole purpose of teleporting to its tree and killing them all for 3 hours? Evilly laughing, should I add.
Flying for 15 minutes to the middle of the ocean just to summon someone there, evacing and then laughing your ass off at "xxx has been slain by water"?
Sitting in the middle of the once proud, now burnt to the ground city with your axe on your knees, evil smile on your face, watching the shit slowly turn to ashes, in the middle of the graveyard?
True PK is when you own so hard that your victims quit the game for good and forget its name. Even more, when you enjoy it that much that you literally jump out of the chair irl when you kill someone in the most hard, evil, ridiculous, offending way and laugh at the hate tells.
This way approximately 90% of the Shadowbane population (what it was at release) quit, spewing the bullshit about bugs, absense of proper support, sb.exe, absense of balance, laggy servers, cheating dicks, long reboots, rare updates, often wipes and other crap. When in fact they were just too weak.

Those all sounds like really cheap and pussy ways of killing someone. Learn to fight like a man and stand your ground to the death! I'll fight a veteran on equal grounds before I'll fight an out matched noob anyday.

Yeah you named off a list of the most pussy fanboi ways to Pk.
So now it turns the tables do you know how to PK and not one hit and run.
Those are fun but i like jumping out of know where and pumbling the bitch to his knee's, Rather then one hitting and running away laughing like a School girl.
and BTW idk wtf you get the idea AoC is the only MMO we ahve played but really there is PvP in more games then just AoC.

Do you think Ive only played Shadowbane? Look up my profile.
For some reason I try out other crap, it lasts maximum a week before I return to SB, and that continues for 6 years. What I was trying to express that there is no other game which allows you to so clearly feel the pk. To feel the blood running faster in your veins, once again. Have you seen any other game which gives experience for pk? LoL.
Kill anything which moves, don't look at its level, equipment, experience, height, sex, geographic location or religion. Don't think its another player; its only the next victim to give you xp, gold and stuff. Either that, or don't call yourself a PK.

Using every tactic to get a few PKs doesn't mean we don't enjoy a good, equal fight. There's the difference. Cheap, equal, valiant, good, evil - why should I care? It's all just meat. Mobs with slightly better AI. They give xp too, and gold income is so much higher, they also drop phat stuffz quite often eh. Not speaking about entertainment from tells after, no computer can do that good yet.

Murder Herd formed nearly A YEAR before AoC launch and if you've taken a look at our recruiting process at all you'll notice we don't take just anyone (with 150 denied apps and an assload of guild kicks under our belts). Our policy is, any guildy gives us shit or becomes a problem they're out on their ass before they know what happened. We don't stand for retards mucking up the works. Just because we don't take anything seriously and are generally drunk off our asses doesn't mean we're immature, I promise :sly: .
And we're aware AoC is shit so you don't have to keep throwing it in our faces. But if you formed a guild full of people you absolutely loved and then waited a year for a game you thought would be absolutely amazing and everything you had ever wanted (and that included brutal fast pvp, full loot, and incredible gigantic siege battles, by the by) which then turned out to be a huge laggy, spawn-centered, one-shotting fuck fest you'd be just as disgusted as we were. But we gave Funcom the benefit of the doubt and held on hoping and praying it would get better. No go. :bang:
Oh and please please keep on assuming that AoC is the only game any of us have ever played :rolleyes: .
P.S. If you're going to do that whole "Murder Herd is a zerg guild" cry-fest please use the correct terminology as coined by the sobbing Cimmeria trolls. It's "Murder Zerg", thanks. Much catchier that way. Plus, it rhymes!

We've gone so offtopic that this is gonna be locked soon. If only I was able to withdraw my vote, since they both (MH and SS) suck.
On a side note, to finish this flame, it's been discussed countless times already. Wait and see players from what game will dominate DF.

Actually, AoC has the most fun PVP I've ever played.... Except it's laggy, has no risk/reward, and was watered down by spawn points and zones. Other than that the combat is very fluid and feels really really nice... Plus finishing witha fatality can really get the blood flowin.

500,000? lol, we have less than 100 people who log in daily.
And all I remember of your guild was them killing lowbies in Tesso, never saw them anywhere else, they certainly never gave us any kind of challenge... Where was your battle keep, sieges against us, or even a presence in Khesh?

At the time I was there, we weren't a big guild and we didn't aim to be. I'm sure that concept is beyond you.
We didn't really target you, you weren't any kind of threat and you were on everyone's KoS list, so we mopped you up whenever we saw you.
Our keep was in Purple Lotus. I was in Kesh quite a bit, you guys on the other hand, were rarely around the city where the constant PvP was as I remember.
edit: And yeah you'd find us in Tesso on the rooves now and then. We were looking for lowbies to fight back to recruit. For the most part none of us got much out of killing lowbies, that was def yall's department

I actually remember your guild spawn camping me, I was out numbered and out lvled by about 20 lvls. Yet I attacked over and over. The best RP they could muster was "You suck." and "Lol u must like dieing."
I personally KOSed your guild after that (For the lack of RP, not PVP against me), and in my time, killed quite a few of you.
So if you think you're badass because you had small numbers and killed us every once in awhile... Then more power to ya. lol.

blah blah, I personally don't remember spawn camping any MH, but you guys were notorious for doing that to lower lvl players.
We did what we wanted, but we didn't back down from a challenge, which is more than you guys could ever say.
edit: That sounds like our type of RP ;). I think it's hilarious that "Murder Herd" still tries to argue that they are an RP guild.

I was actually going to say this exact thing in response to your false claims about us. You creepy mind-reader you!:ninja:
Yeah, we are well known in AOC. We have fans and bashers. We are not simply an "AOC guild". Most of us play other games (and did before AOC). Members who don't play AOC still hang out in vent, post on the forums, and play other games together. Murder Herd is a group of friends who like to game together and don't take ourselves so fucking serious. This is why we don't mass recruit. It's why our application process is more like a college frat hazing than a serious inquiry into the gaming habits of our applicants. One cannot join if they don't have a sense of humor and a thick as cow-hide skin (pun intended). Too many "gamers" out there would not be comfortable with our laid back attitude and drunken shenanigans (and they would annoy the hell out of us).
Bottom line : Murder Herd brought fun to a game which sorely was in need of fun. The server was RPPVP and we held RPPVP events on it (omg adding to the community instead of griefing it which is what everyone thought we would do simply based on our guild name:eek:). Many of the people on that server take(took) themselves way too serious, we helped to lighten the mood. Don't like us? We don't care. Like us? We still don't care. We are looking forward to Df for the same reasons everyone else is. And for now, we'll hang out on these forums and get to know all the rabbits here.

You say you have an extensive recruiting policy, you say you're not a zerg guild, you say you don't spawn camp, you say you never run from a fight, but I have personally whitnessed you doing the opposite of all of these things.
So congrats, you're like every other big anonymous guild. AoC is really the MMO for you guys IMO, you're both all about hype.
And you weren't a big deal on AoC, you were a big deal on Cimmeria. I left Cimmeria because of lack of competition.
Guilds like you kill MMOs for me because I like to think recognition is earned through being the best players, but you guys are proof that you don't have to be anything special.

I've never heard of skullsplitters, if they are from Cimmeria like mh then my vote goes to neither.
I can't imagine these guys competing against shadowbane players. Will be a joke.
You should keep in mind that allot of AoC players are Ex SB players looking for a game that is even half of what SB was.
I was Lance of the Kartel, one of the founding guilds of the City of Arazain on the mourning server. The undead legion currently has a showing on cimmeria in AoC. They took over a whole continent on mourning and were the servers bad guys for at least half a year. One of my fellow Murder Herd members is old Dark Carnival. Ive seen at least 30 people from my SB server on my AoC server and more that were from other SB servers.
That being said. If a group of pure AoC players got into a fight with Ex SB players the SB guys would teach them a solid lesson in what group tactics and seige tactics can do in a game. SB was my golden age of gaming. I hoped conan would be the next bastion and if Darkfall ever actually releases and does what it says it will, it will be Shadowbane 2.0 x 10.

Big dosent mean bad so long as the growth is controlled. If you played on mourning you know Arazain at its largest was a town and a outpost simply because one town wasnt large enough to house everything. we had a solid group of people. The MH are similar except its not an alliance of guilds the way AZ was.
Their recruitment is not mass recruitment. You need to apply on forums, gets hazed there and on vent, get in game and then you get watched to see if you fuck up. fuck up and your out. Could there have been bad apples? sure. I wasnt in MH long enough to see them but i HAVE heard about them. Does MH come off as immature? SURE! but its more because of a sense of humor and having a good time and making everyone else the butt of jokes then anything else. The people who make it into the herd and last more then 2 weeks are solid players. those are the people who stay in the herd because in all honesty they are fun and they are fiercly loyal to the members who are loyal to them.
MH is good guys. A solid group who watches out for its own. And come Darkfall (if it ever happens) we may not be the guys you love to hate but we may be the guys you love to fight because while we are playing the bad guys were good sports about it and if you get our sense of humor its actually fun on all sides.
You dont have to agree. Its the internet. Your gunna argue anyway. But dont knock a group like us till you have spent a week on vent listening to angst making all the new guys nervous cause he hazes the shit out of them while we break out into Journey hits and ziggy zoggys to celebrate our victorys.

Do AoCers know what is a true PK?
Chain killing a person 6-7 times in a row during 3 minutes so all his hardly gained shit breaks even if he logs out?
Waiting _on purpose_ for the rune dropper to spawn, for the guy to loot, then when he thinks k, its mine, massacring him? Doing that also like 12 times in a row with the same guy and the same rune.
Hell, summoning a random noob sending him a tell like wanna exp with me and one shotting him? On different chars during a week?
Taking a guild into nation with sole purpose of teleporting to its tree and killing them all for 3 hours? Evilly laughing, should I add.
Flying for 15 minutes to the middle of the ocean just to summon someone there, evacing and then laughing your ass off at "xxx has been slain by water"?
Sitting in the middle of the once proud, now burnt to the ground city with your axe on your knees, evil smile on your face, watching the shit slowly turn to ashes, in the middle of the graveyard?
True PK is when you own so hard that your victims quit the game for good and forget its name. Even more, when you enjoy it that much that you literally jump out of the chair irl when you kill someone in the most hard, evil, ridiculous, offending way and laugh at the hate tells.
This way approximately 90% of the Shadowbane population (what it was at release) quit, spewing the bullshit about bugs, absense of proper support, sb.exe, absense of balance, laggy servers, cheating dicks, long reboots, rare updates, often wipes and other crap. When in fact they were just too weak.

This has been all rather amusing. I would just like to say my little piece which isnt aimed at anyone at all
I personally hate how people PvP to the point that it makes people leave a game. I love PvP...I love being attacked out of no where and trying to defend myself. I also love the added tension of watching your back while trying to quest/farm etc. However when people just grief you over and over then that is not fun and isnt in the nature of these games.
My other point is it is easy for a guild to be a griefing guild. There is no "secret talent" taught by zen masters. All you have to do is attack everything on sight especially if it is lower lvl...if it isnt call in more members. What I like to achieve out of these games is an escape from reality where I can craft and quest and PvP and enjoy myself for the couple of hours that I am online. A guild that has good honest members who strive for the betterment of the community and make the game somewhere that promotes more members to join then they are a guild that I will respect....
Now I am ready for the flames

Did you evilly laugh? Hehe.
I bet that half of these Murderherds, Skullsplitters and other crap will act like the famous german kid if you do something cruel to them in an online game.
To somewhat conclude this thread, I see that there are very few people here (specifically 2) which understand the difference between PvP and PK. Yes, those are different.
What every mofo here is speaking about is PvP. Yea, those friendly fights, you know when you kindly invite your foe to the arena to test out your mutual battle skills, or when you PvP having community health in mind, like this:
A guild that has good honest members who strive for the betterment of the community and make the game somewhere that promotes more members to join then they are a guild that I will respect....
To be honest, the last thing I care about is some carebear's respect.
What I like to achieve out of these games is an escape from reality where I can craft and quest and PvP and enjoy myself for the couple of hours that I am online.
Carebear because of this. First craft and quest, then PvP. Thank God Shadowbane has neither crafting nor questing.
Can you imagine a game where you get maximum level during a day (yesterday I did that in 10 hours), and that ends your PvE on this char. Then you take couplea hours to train and gear yourself up. Everything which happens after these 12 hours, is PK. No crafting, no questing, no other means to sit there and do some crap when you should go out and PK. Welcome to Shadowbane.
However when people just grief you over and over then that is not fun and isnt in the nature of these games.
This isn't in the nature of these games; except for Shadowbane, and I so hope Darkfall.
Why I speak so much about SB here, is that probably every Shadowbane player feels that Darkfall will be highly upgraded, bigger, smarter, more massive, bugless Shadowbane 2.0. I surely hope so as well.

We hope to oblige you and everyone else. PK to me is an attitude not a playstyle. We carry ourselves with character as much as we can, and we're grateful for those who play along with it. We're a non-allianced PVP clan so basically we become KOS to the server in return.
There is a method to our madness, but not many people see it I guess.
AND YES! We have people from time to time break these rules and get called out for it. Believe me, we correct those who do. And you know whats fuckin ironic about it all? We set these rules to our guildmates and when we get pad camped (we don't do that) and we finally snap and pad camp back or play dirty a bit - they run to OOC, the forums, our forums etc to be a town cryer.
MURDER HERD RAN!!!!
Well, what can you say about a KOS guild that actually has rules and respect for the PVP in the game? Ya shitstain us for breakin our rules when you pigs play with no respect and PK people like a future 25 to Lifer IRL.
Anywho rant aside, they're just being a douche cuz they can and we correct ourselves while people spread the word around. You should be so lucky to be in a chaotic clan and have only one rule - Be a piece of shit. Not us, though.
Please, uphold us to it as everyone else has before. But at least respect that the majority of the time we play like our charter says we do, and that we follow a charter to begin with - while being an agressive pvp clan at the same time.
P.S. We like to RP and steal pants.

I agree that there is a big difference between pk and pvp. But numbers and awareness dont always pertain to it.
Using shadowbane as an example. Sieges were anything but a mutual agreement. Sending groups to try and grab the commander rune with the 12 theives sitting on the fringes was not a "fair" fight at any time. Watching track like a hawk because if you didnt your group would get rolled over by one of the whole nations of evil fuckers was not equivalent to "lets go have a tourny".
pvp is any attack any time. it happens and there is a line between it and griefing pk but that line is extremely hard to define.

You should be so lucky to be in a chaotic clan and have only one rule - Be a piece of shit.
You don't get it. It's not a clan. Seriously, you don't understand. Not your fault though. Let me try to explain.
---------------------
Stage 1 - the release of Shadowbane in 2003 or what year that was:
Servers are full with people who are eager to be nice with each other if they accidentally meet. They form great alliances, there's LOTS of politics, they pretend to be on the good or the evil side, still on any side you could often hear a dialog like:
A - Hey sir, why have you just killed me, it seemed to me that our guilds are not in the state of war with each other?
B - Oh I am sorry good sir, take my sincere apologies and please be kind to accept this small donation to cover your repairs.
A - Thanks a lot, good luck to you!
Yea, hell there is PvP, a lot of it, there are wars, extremely massive ones and in terms of massive pvp and sieges I still remember that time as the most fun in SB, e.g. 15 hours long sieges, 400 vs 400 people.
Although, there is an extremely small number of people, not more than 0.5% of total population, who call themselves RPKers from the start, kill everyone on sight and don't obey by any laws, alliances or agreements. They are hated by everyone else (99.5%), hunted for and even have a bounty on their heads.
---------------------
Stage 2 - one year after the release
The numbers are like this: RPKers - 25%, everyone else - 75%.
---------------------
Stage 3 - two years after the release
The numbers are like this: RPKers - 75%, everyone else - 25%.
---------------------
Current time - 2008
RPKers: 99.9%, everyone else - 0.01%.
How did this happen, will you ask? Simple. Most of 'everyone else' quit coz they couldn't stand instant dying all the time. Some of them transformed into RPKers, I know at least a hundred of people who totally changed even their Bartle test results because of playing Shadowbane. Towards Killer of course.
What do you see in SB now? Non-SB players, don't even try to imagine this.
You see a thousand of people (dunno the exact number, something like that on Thurin server) who login every time with the only sole purpose - to PK. They don't craft, they don't quest, they don't build except for that first month on server (and only coz they have to, to gear up), they even don't farm mostly, they don't PvE coz PvE ends after the first day.
Every fucking minute, every damn second is FILLED with PK. You don't do anything else, you PK until you die, then you repair and PK again.
Every single one of them has Killer on Bartle test of 100%+. Every freaking guild on every freaking server kills on sight anyone not belonging to their nation, and some of them even kill their own nation. NONE of them looks at person's level, SB experience, equipment, guild affiliation or anything else, they just see - kill - loot, search - see - kill - loot, bank, search again. If you ask me what guilds and what levels have I killed today, I won't remember any, coz I don't care.
Many of them are doing that, and mostly JUST that, for SIX years.
Basically, if you gather together the worst griefers, murderers, thieves, liers, backstabbers, and generally dicks in the whole MMORPG history, you will get today's Shadowbane community.
Good news is this community is coming over to Darkfall. Everyone.
Enjoy.

I agree to the most of that, Lance. You haven't played SB for a while, so I'll try to explain something, look below.
You don't get it. It's not a clan. Seriously, you don't understand. Not your fault though. Let me try to explain.
---------------------
Stage 1 - the release of Shadowbane in 2003 or what year that was:
Servers are full with people who are eager to be nice with each other if they accidentally meet. They form great alliances, there's LOTS of politics, they pretend to be on the good or the evil side, still on any side you could often hear a dialog like:
A - Hey sir, why have you just killed me, it seemed to me that our guilds are not in the state of war with each other?
B - Oh I am sorry good sir, take my sincere apologies and please be kind to accept this small donation to cover your repairs.
A - Thanks a lot, good luck to you!
Yea, hell there is PvP, a lot of it, there are wars, extremely massive ones and in terms of massive pvp and sieges I still remember that time as the most fun in SB, e.g. 15 hours long sieges, 400 vs 400 people.
Although, there is an extremely small number of people, not more than 0.5% of total population, who call themselves RPKers from the start, kill everyone on sight and don't obey by any laws, alliances or agreements. They are hated by everyone else (99.5%), hunted for and even have a bounty on their heads.
---------------------
Stage 2 - one year after the release
The numbers are like this: RPKers - 25%, everyone else - 75%.
---------------------
Stage 3 - two years after the release
The numbers are like this: RPKers - 75%, everyone else - 25%.
---------------------
Current time - 2008
RPKers: 99.9%, everyone else - 0.01%.
How did this happen, will you ask? Simple. Most of 'everyone else' quit coz they couldn't stand instant dying all the time. Some of them transformed into RPKers, I know at least a hundred of people who totally changed even their Bartle test results because of playing Shadowbane. Towards Killer of course.
What do you see in SB now? Non-SB players, don't even try to imagine this.
You see a thousand of people (dunno the exact number, something like that on Thurin server) who login every time with the only sole purpose - to PK. They don't craft, they don't quest, they don't build except for that first month on server (and only coz they have to, to gear up), they even don't farm mostly, they don't PvE coz PvE ends after the first day.
Every fucking minute, every damn second is FILLED with PK. You don't do anything else, you PK until you die, then you repair and PK again.
Every single one of them has Killer on Bartle test of 100%+. Every freaking guild on every freaking server kills on sight anyone not belonging to their nation, and some of them even kill their own nation. NONE of them looks at person's level, SB experience, equipment, guild affiliation or anything else, they just see - kill - loot, search - see - kill - loot, bank, search again. If you ask me what guilds and what levels have I killed today, I won't remember any, coz I don't care.
Many of them are doing that, and mostly JUST that, for SIX years.
Basically, if you gather together the worst griefers, murderers, thieves, liers, backstabbers, and generally dicks in the whole MMORPG history, you will get today's Shadowbane community.
Good news is this community is coming over to Darkfall. Everyone.
Enjoy.
:D
Life is rough sometimes.
Personally I feel sad when the world stops being about pvp, it pretty much ruin the feeling of adventure you get from every breath.
I want to be uncertain whether danger lies beyond the next hill...

I have to quote this as well since I want to fit in and everyone else is doing it. I get what your saying sort of but not really. The same comparison could be made about the retards who have been playing Diablo 2 online every day for the past 6 years. They must rock at PVE right since all they do is kill bosses all day long every day right?
I'm not particularly impressed by anyones video game track record, most of the people here who boast the length of their Shadowbane e-peens are just looking for some social compensation for the <x> years of their life they wasted playing a dead end game. There, I said it.

Heh. Shadowbane had its flaws like every game did. And it did eventually follow the stages every open pvp game does. But the mourning server in particular stayed political and awesome all the way up untill wow came out. And thats when shadowbane died.

Yea I quoted this for the same reason.
All of the above posters didn't understand a shit of what I was trying to say. Re-read it until you do, and until then don't post your idiotic comments.
And lol @ Matriarch, clearly some fetishist guy who accepts false worship from followers, while roleplaying a woman, do you think I care if you have read my long post? Haha. Too bad Sigmund Freud is dead.

I read and understood what you said. I was commenting not just to you but to my fellow murder herd members who didnt play shadowbane. I am not in its current state so i cant comment on it like you. If im not saying something at least a little constructive i ushally shut my mouth.
but besides that. Matriarch is a chick. and a hawt one.

You can't imagine how alive it is.
In fact, it's way more alive than it was when WoW came out, lol even saying that WoW influenced Shadowbane in any way is laughable, sorry.
The irony here lies in the fact, that the developers wanted to make a 'Massively Merciless', 'Play to Crush' type of pure PK game. They finally succeeded, since it is more merciless now than ever, at the same time loosing the most of the playerbase.
It's normal though, since number of players with this playstyle is very limited, and I bet the devs knew that even when they had SB in mind.
To everyone still playing it, there's no better game. Until Darkfall.
You seem to be more intelligent than all other Murderherd ppl that post here, but I'll have to recommend you to re-read my long post again, heh.

Im not more intelligent. Just the other murderherd troll forums with less class then i do hehe. sorry guys. They troll cause they likes to. I dont post unless I have things to say and I only troll because im bored.
I back this up with the evidence that I havent cared enough yet to have one of those awesome looking sigs made.
So shadowbanes still alive eh? Any idea if any of the servers are the new "unofficial roleplay server" the way mourning was? I was actually gunna go kill some time in it.
Also, as I said, I read your post and I got it. It only sort of built on what I said when you quoted me and wrote it. And there is nothing new I can contibute to that discussion beyond what I already said. There is a line between pk and all the millions of other reasons that any given fight can be legit pvp. There is a line. But I don't know how to define it. because anyone can see any fight as pvp or just a dumb ass pk. You really don't know unless you know why the killer did it.
so... like i said. nothing to add. ::shrug::

Even a better example for Freud lol. A PK guild led by a chick. LoL.
I have nothing against chicks in fact haha, but what was wrong in your RL that made you lead an online guild with that kind of RP backstory? Rithorical question though.
I also wonder how the fuck do all those 150 (mostly male) members listen you command in ventrilo.
