Merry Christmas and Happy new year!

Everyone from MOA would like to wish to all of you a Merry Christmas and Happy New year!

We are very happy of what we have done so far and we would like to say thank you to each of you who are supporting MOA. With the new year coming closer and closer we hope to accomplish our main goal for 2009, being the number one site with all the Politic information related to Darkfall Online.

Clan Leadership Management

Today, I found an interesting topic made by Surly in the Clan discussion forum about Clan Leadership Philosophy.

Everyone knows that a strong and good leadership is very important to succeed in any video games and also to survive through many many years of gaming. The first things that comes to my mind when I talk about clans is family, its a place to have fun, to make friends and a place where we share the same goals and values. I for one think that sharing the same goals is the most important thing in a guild, after all we are all here to accomplish something, to have fun and fights for the goals of our clan and also our own goals. Being in good term with your leader and being able to have fun with him, and feels like he's part of us and not a distant figure of authority is the best leader that a clan could have in my opinion.

That being said, what type of leader are you? How do you deal with your own clan? Do you think maintaining the goals and values of the clan is the best to do or going with the flow of your newest members values and own goals would be better?

Here's the link to the topic made by Surly: Link

Total BS! Lamest recruitment thread of the week #2

Enjoy.

Podcast #2 - Redemption

WE FUCKING BITES!

Here we are once again with our freshly new podcast with the famous PaleOne, leader of the clan Redemption!


TK did an awesome job with this interview and I hope you guys will really understand the philosophy behind Redemption. This clan seems to have a bright future for this game but who knows what will happen!

Final Thoughts from TK :

Streamlined leadership combined with plenty of chances for advancement really look good on Redemption. They are a conquest designed guild built around the game lore which offers a little of something for everyone, and is helped by them being a bit more of a "open recruiting" clan for prospects within standards.


MOA give this clan the success seal of approval!!!



We would like to wish you guys good luck in Darkfall and we are looking forward for more interviews once the game start!!

We also want to thanks Mowgli our podcast editor for his excellent work!

Launch Date Announced for Darkfall Online!

Tasos announced earlier today the official release date for Darkfall, January 22nd 2009.

Most of us didn't expected 08 release anyway so I am happy with this news. Its a good sign that they are not rushing out the game and they are taking the time to make it almost perfect for release.

In this quote from Tasos, he said that EU server would be online before NA or at least that's the plan for now. So I am asking you today, will your clan stay on EU or move to NA servers once they are finally online?

Athens, Greece – December 5th, 2008 - Audio Visual Enterprises SA and Aventurine SA in a joint statement today announced that their highly anticipated MMORPG title Darkfall Online will launch across Europe on January 22nd, 2009. North American players are also welcome to participate in the European launch of Darkfall which will precede a North American launch.

More details to be announced as they become available.

We know that most of the serious clans out there want some good competition and they want a real challenge. After all, we have been waiting for this brutal PVP game for so long so we want some good fun and epic wars.

Breaking News!

We just received more information about the child molester from UDA! In a recent comment to our latest podcast RevAcid gave us a link that confirm the identity of Papaslop! Watch out guys playing video games doesn't mean that your clan mates cannot be dangerous or in some case a complete failure!

Lamest Recruitment Thread of the week!

First of all, when you choose a name for your guild, you should think about that :
This name will basically reflect what you are as a clan, this name will be your tag, your pride and it should be something unique!

EPIC!!!!!!!!!WHAT THE FUCK???????????? THIS IS AIN'T ORIGINAL SON!

Why would you name your guild Epic? There's no fucking good reason, unless you guys are some sort of super heroes in real life and every time you play a game you have to save the god damn world !

Anyway here's the Worst, lamest and piece of trash Recruitment thread of the week, you guys should be proud!

*High-five to the EPIC GUILD!*

EPIC website.

Podcast # 1 - UDA

We are proud to announce that the very first Podcast from MOA is finally ready!

Thrill Kill did an excellent job and I am sure you guys will love it! Since its our first podcast a lots of things might change in the future but so far its looking good and you guys should love it.

Here's what TK think about UDA:

All in all, a solid clan. The leader is open about clan problems and misfortunes, as well as not being scared to talk about "controversial" issues that had occurred within his ranks. I don't get a strong sense of twitch based experience from them, but they do make up for it with harsh environment experience in MMOs.


MOA give this clan the success seal of approval!!!




Good luck UDA with your projects in Darkfall! And don't forget to go visit Darkfall Online Portal to discuss about this interview!!!

MOA Podcast!

After reading couples of suggestion we came to the conclusion to do the clan interview on Ventrilo and then publish them with a podcast. Here's a little test of what it should look like in the future.

WAAAA!! I AM BETTER! NO I AM!! NO!

Later today we found out something interesting about LoD. Since Hades seems to be bored playing WAR he found some times to trash talk in CD, which is kinda cool cause it give us more stuff to write about.

Quote from Hades-LotD:

LoD didn't even compete in AC1 on any level, so by your own standards you haven't done shit since UO since you are apparently dismissing shadowbane. We had a good alliance back in the day until your egos killed it by thinking you were hot stuff in those UO rankings, but in reality you all were simply point exploiting to get to the top.

In DAOC when the competition was there, LOD wasn't in the top 10 or 20. In Guild Wars, LOD wasn't in the top 500. In Fury LOD got lucky in the beta challenge, but in retail never got ranked at all. In AOC you guys were a speed bump as you were hunted for sport because you were no threat at all. The best LOD could do in AOC was forum war with another non factor guild in an attempt to be the best bottom feeder guild.

In Warhammer, LOD is a guild rank 20 guild which is respectable. But you only have 12 million renown, which means you got your guild rank more by farming mobs than players. You better pick up the PVP skillz because DF sounds a little more competitive than killing mob 1,2,3 to be l33t.

Other than UO where we were allies and SB where we were on different servers, LotD has proven superior in each of the rest of the games we've both played.

Take it to heart because whether we start DF on day 1 or a year after release, the end result will be the same for you chumps if you challenge us.

Oh god that's just too good to be true!!! Hades claimed that LoD doesn't have the skills to compete in Darkfall, lets see what LoD have to say about this !

Quote from [LoD] Capitulate :

This will be fun.

Those games you listed (except SB) weren't "official" LoD games. What that meant is that is wasn't mandatory for us to play them. I among others didn't play fury, WH, AOC, or daoc (DAOC because I wasn't part of LoD at the time).

I had a great time in SB convienently forgetting the bad times (waking up at 4am for a bane defense, massive lag and client crashes)

Anyway my point is that DF will be an official LoD game with all of us playing who don't have RL priorities and I look forward to the day where we once again establish ourselves as a top guild in the gaming community.

LoD4life

Lets hope LotD will be present in Darkfall, we will see a lots of actions that's for sure!

Official MOA Seals of Approval!

We have made three different kinds of Seals of Approval.

We will only use them once TK his done interviewing your clan. He will have then the decision to pick one seal of Approval and stamp it at the end of your interview.

You can be stamp as a Carebear guild, Garbage guild or a GOOD one!



If you get this seal, you have no fucking clue in which game you are about to play. Little advice go back to your secure zone.



If you get this seal, your guild is a failure. You either lied to us or you just don't have the experience to lead your guild to the battle.



If you get this seal, you passed the interview. You gave us the truth and you can back up your facts. You should be able to walk your talk in Darkfall.


Hurry up! PM TK and ask him to get an interview!

The big dawgs talk!

LoD and LotD a long term rivalry.

Here a bit of history my friends:

LoD and LotD were previous allied guilds and kicked a lot of ass together. At various points each guild hit a low point, and helped each other along. However while waiting for Shadowbane some fansite poll came out listing LotD as one of the top feared guilds going into the game, and apparently that recognition bruised some egos over at LoD. A massive flame war ensued, and the two guilds have hated one another since. LotD went on to play on the Scorn server which was the most hard core server of the day, and birthed the nation that took down the most infamous nation in Shadowbane history (Rolling 30's). LoD went to the Death server and beat up n00b guilds, and no one gave a shit who was the last guild standing before that server went offline.


There's a lots of activity lately in CD to find out who will be the best once Darkfall start. No one can really tell but here a little preview of what's going from two different point of view.

[LoD]Dhal : LotD: word on the street is they will not be showing up in DF. surprised? lol

Hades-LotD : We're taking a wait and see approach. But hey, in the last 4 game's we've played against you guys we were at the top of the server/game food chain, and LOD barely managed to form a guild tag.

Why don't you step up and show some year to year consistency by doing well in game before you go taking pot shots. Exploiting ranking points in UO and putting a zerg together in SB is all you got since 1997, so be a little more consistent as a competitor in ANY MMORPG game before even thinking about running with the big dogs.

[LoD]Dhal : lol hades, this is a game that has full loot. show lod a game that's a "for all the marbles" standard and you might be surprised. bring it in df or stfu, once it's out it will be the only game that has mattered since uo/ac as far as MMO's are concerned period. lotd is fucking weaksauce (for lack of a better term that may offend you and score me another infraction) if you don't play, "waiting and see" sounds like "copout inc" imho.

We all know if LotD hit Darkfall for release we will see both clan fighting each others for the top.

Will LotD man up and play Darkfall?

Will LoD die in a massive orgie of blood and violence?

Will LotD crawl back to WAR because of LoD?

STAY TUNED!

Message from the Vagina Guard

11-16-2008, OmegaVG announced that they will be playing Darkfall, since they are an AoC guild and never really played any real PVP games, they seems to be a real joke for the forumfall community. Well some members of VG are not so sure about that. One of them posted something along those lines : Another wait to beat down another server. /salute VG

Well after a little investigation a member of Forumfall found more info about the Vagina Guard...

A thread made by Hades on LotD forum : Link

And some nice screen shots haha :







Guess what? Hades himself just posted and confirmed that VG are a non-factor guild. Nothing special here since they came from AoC haha.



Quote from Hades - LotD

Vagina Guard coming in here talking tough and acting like they did something worthwhile in a PVP game is amusing at best. When LotD was fighting Sinister+PFB+Hordes of Goohiem+Harm+Carnage+VG+Ice Gaming, etc all at the same time during the first few months of AOC, the Vagina Guard was virtually nowhere to be seen. We fielded 48 man battlegroups regularly the first 3 months of the game along with most of the other guilds I previously mentioned. Vagina Guard was never seen unless it was when we were running them out of a zone, or jumping on their corpses after ripping their faces off.


They roleplayed it up in one of the main AOC safe zones, they never initiated or participated in any siege against any real opponent, and were a non factor until after Warhammer launched and the server became a ghost town.

I'm sure they can brag about pushing around a few small guilds that were left, but that's about it. That cool Harm siege they brag about? Yeah that was after LotD and other guilds had worn down Harm's keep to virtually nothing, and they sneak in during the dead of night to ninja cap.

The record is clear when it comes to these clowns, and the record is that they don't have a record at all. LotD went unofficial when Warhammer launched on Sept 15th, and we stopped playing AOC a week before that. Past Redemption did burn our battlekeep right before we left when hardly any of us was playing, but that has about as much significance saying someone burned our house down after we had moved out.

As of now LotD has no intention of playing Darkfall until its launched and we can see if its going to survive. After Shadowbane, AOC, and other PVP games or servers dying off in less than 6 months we're simply taking a wait and see approach before putting in a lot of time and effort here.

Either way this thread is outrageous, and you can ask LotD, Sinister, Combine, Darkhand, and several other guilds and they will all tell you that these guys were a non factor. If they are trying to intimidate anyone here on their AOC record, then they are in deep trouble before the game servers are ever booted up.


Link : Message from The Varangian Guard

So, you want to show a clan leader interview off?

Want to get a chance to tell about your clan, and why you're not a bunch of nobody carebears who should be laughed off the forums, much less the servers? Want to defend the latest gossip going around about you? Got the balls to go one on one with the king asshole of guild leaders, Thrill Kill of the Select Few?

Then contact Thrill_Kill on the DF forums, and tell him you want to step onto the Griefer's Soapbox. None of these fluff interviews with soft and easy questions. We'll ask the things that you don't want to talk about. We'll ask the questions about facts that when mentioned, kills the threads. We'll get past the "e-peening" and to the facts. If you got your shit straight, maybe you'll be one of the select few clans I give the nod of approval to.

Forumfall & SB e-peen!

Like always there's a lots of smack talking in CD and everyone want to show and brag about what they did in the past. We had a lots of people from UO but now there's a massive amount of Shadowbane guilds who are getting ready for Darkfall. They always been there in the background...but recently they are very active in CD.

Here's a couple of clans from SB who will be present in Darkfall.

Crystal order
Redemption
The presidents
QFT - IN FULL FORCE (haha)
Hy'shen Avari
Talons of Chaos
Lumen Solis Victrix - Elba - Sol
Odyc's Army (Known as Select Few)
Primitive Nation
The UnDeAd Army
KGB
LoD
The Knights of Glory

And much more!

Some say if you have played SB you will have an edge in Darkfall and some say it doesn't mean shit, well from what I can tell...if you had the guts to endure this game with all the bugs and bad coding and keep playing after being burned down to the ground you should have a good start in Darkfall I am sure.

Good luck to everyone !!

Murder Herd and QFT! Oh Noes!

Once again Murder Herd is talking crap on the forum, everyone is getting used to it but what about QFT?





Quotes from Unknewn :

But seriously, it wont be long until members of Murder Herd will start putting up Applications to join QFT once we wipe them off the map.


We did not only hold CN off from that server, each and every single guild that fought along side with the CN zerg. No guild lasted more then 6 days before we wiped them off the map.

Which clan will make the other one suffer?

Unknewn and his SB guild or Matriarch with her AoC guild!

Link : QFT Declares War on Murder Herd!

WE ARE READY!
