I will have to agree with Axxy, call me an ass kisser, but I have been playing online games with Grunter long before any of you. Grunter has always given me anything I needed, whether it was in real life or in the online gaming world, Gray has always been there for me, even after the one bad time we had, which I doubt will ever happen again :P

For some of you that don't know where DB started let me give you a brief summary. Darkenbane was first part of a guild called Crusaders of the Realm, Darkenbane was a subdivision of the guild, they were the killers of the guild. Gray was the leader/creator of DB in COR. COR and DB were in a game called neverwinter nights that was an online game on AOL, I was much too young to play computer games at this time so I cannot give you much information about this game.

After NWN, DB and COR were created in Ultima Online about 5 or 6 years ago. DB and COR were a goody guild until DB and COR split, thats when DB went PK in UO. We had a lot of huge wars with Covetous Crew in UO and was definately a fun game. Grayrage, Larson, Majestic (me), and Char all real life buds totally owned the dungeons of UO. It was a great game, but EQ was just far more complex and didn't have lag like UO.

As we moved to Rallos Zek from UO, Gray started Darkenbane in EQ, the one and only remaining DBer that helped start the guild with Gray is Enlucent. DB was first a goody guild and just participated in race wars in the early days of EQ. After talking with Gray on the phone one day, we thought it would be a neat idea to kill the people at the treants in SK and take all the platinum they inherited. This was the turning point in EQ for DB when we became a "pk guild". After slaughtering the hunters of the treants and spending many hours killing people in South Karana, Gray met up with a wizard named Ever. Ever had a guild called Lords of Malevolence (a pk guild) and Gray and Ever merged guilds to make the most powerful pk guild in EQ. This is when Darkenbane became Darkenbane The Lords of Malevolence. So for those of you who say Ever created DB your wrong, he was just a guildstatus leader at one point, but never the true leader. From this point on DB became the most known guild on Rallos Zek. As for the rest of EQ history, you all know it already so Im not going to explain anymore.

Lol i recall that conversation aboutthe people at the treants. We were so damn nervous...it was like turning into REAL life murderers or something. But then we took OVER SK.....and then we took OVER WK......then we took OVER EF (mind you this was before kunark so SK, WK (barbs) and IG in EF were the shit) and finally the big move to Skyfire which took some hard work.

The entire server hated us, but they simply could not stop us from Expin in whichever zone we decided to take over. before vellious, SF was the highest level solo and caster group zones inthe game...

Then all the laughter about us NEVER doing the plains...yadda yaddaa...because they would OWN us inthe planes.... Our first trip to FEAR was a PK run /rofl!! I recall being spmmed with RAIN deaths hehe. The next thing you know, Tash is wearing Purple...I got my carmine robe....and the goodies were saying we only did it cause vellious kept them busy :)

I got banned before our take over of vellious :( Some time we had though. hehe. ONE tank..... TWO clerics....

this post cracks me up, gray is so completely delusional its comical. i wasn't around before kunark (i bought the game about a week after kunark came out) so i can't say much about when you took over SK/WK but i'd bet the powergamers were already exp'ing in dungeons (lower guk, solb) and didn't give a shit about defending those zones, sort of like when you "took over" skyfire. by that point i was almost 60 from solo'ing in the very zone you "took over" and every powergamer guild was in OS, somewhere DB _never_ set foot. and you didn't stop any guilds from killing talendor either, he was killed on a regular basis, so you did a shit job defending "your" zone. hell i still exp'ed in there after you guys started coming there, and the only time i got attacked is after you brought your entire guild there and had us outnumbered 4 to 1. i remember one time we stuck around exp'ing there after your entire guild showed up and you must have burned 5 wand shots on me and 4 of you nuked me to death before i could run ten feet.

its also funny hearing you brag about raiding fear like that is a big accomplishment, the "goodies" only let you because they didn't give a shit about the gear there (much better gear had been found in velious already) and most of them had full sets from fear/hate already. not to mention how pathetically easy fear had become with higher level necros/chanters making it possible for a handful of people to fear kite the entire zone. i recall one time there were 6 of us up there and we cleared almost the entire zone in about 4 hours.

i'm trying to think what DB could possibly brag about, but the truth is DB on rallos zek didn't do much outside of the occasional raid on Karnors (ebayer's dungeon) and camping portals and bank killing. thats the only reason you were hated, you guys were a bunch of bitch ganking griefers. despite all this, it was fun having you guys around, and i guess in the end all that matters is if you had fun, even if the reality of the situation is very different from how you remember it :cool:
