In the beginning there were bh's, no FC's, no hyper exp, no genies, and being lvl 60 was pro. A lot of things have changed with time on our server, as the factions that now rule the world, so, I think is interesting to determine, in the early months of HL, which guild was the best of all.

Now, I'm throwing in a few guild names that had their glory days long ago, some of them still do, but the main point is, which of these deserve to make it into a top 10 poll of the old time best guilds in a near future, so we can see, by popular vote, which one was the best of all. U can nominee any other guild u remember that made it big, pls say why u think that guild deserve a spot in the top 10, also, If u agree with my nominees pls say it, also if u see other nominees posted by other ppl agree with them or disagree. Ty and have fun every1 :)

Here are my nominees: Last Stand, Kylin, Icon's KD, Wolfblade, Karma, QQme, Good Game, Crimson, OVER9000, Citadel, Ethics, Legacy, Heavenly, Ascension, 'Destiny'

They all got land and defended it, reached a good lvl of organization in terms of guild management and TWs, they were known and respected in the server, or at least, hated, which makes them as important as respected ^^.

    I don't remember much about that guild, I just remember they had some land, remember I'm throwing in names, this is not the actual poll, is just nominees 4 it. and sure, Pendulum can be nominated as well.

    BTW. If anyone remember and can provide data like how many lands the guilds hold, which ones, who leaded it, any famous TWs they hold, etc. All that could be useful

    Everyone is just gunna vote for the guild they were in. Im pretty sure at the beginning of the server every guild was fun to be in, cause everyone for the most part wanted to be productive and enjoyed the game.

    If you are talking about what the guild accomplished, id say its a 3 or 4 guild poll. KD, Kylin, Crimson, and possibly QQme.....but they werent around very long.

    The best guild I was in in the early days of HL has to be Bloodcult. I had the most fun PKing back then.

    The best guild overall on HL is Kylin. They are the only guild to maintain their core leadership since day one of this server and have always held land since their first TW.

    If your going to put destiny on the list u should at least put CareBears too ^.^ we had a lot of good tws, and went head to head with destiny (and other small guilds) untill we fell apart :(

    I remember one tw where i only put me on def, because we lacked the numbers to push and have people on def at the same time b:chuckle we still won though, fun times


    idk why u put Legacy on the list, i dont remember them doing anything in harshlands, mabye if this was a delphi forum put them on... but otherwise no


    Edit: hmm, thinking about it, other guilds that at least deserve remembering
    Bloodcult (super anti pk guild on a pk server, and threatened to kick me when i was trying to get them into an anti-crimson alliance)
    Mercanaries (hard to fail more then that)
    Darklotus (sp? lol, they were on wc mutaple times a day, i think they deserve to make this list)
    Our GMs, which art invisible,
    Hallowed be thy Alma,
    Thy kingdom come, thy will be done in godless valley,
    As it is in fb29.
    Give us this day our daily quest.
    And forgive us our banning,
    As we forgive those who ban us.
    And lead us not into random pk,
    But deliver us from Hell
    For yours is the Perfect World, the power and the glory,
    Untill the server crashes
    Amen.b:thanks

    For Taboo's question: yeah, the most accomplished ones. What defines the accomplishment? that's what I want ppl to write down. Also, I know the guilds u mentioned are probably gonna be the ones on the top, but still I want the top 10 on the old time guilds. I would messure it like this:

    1. TW success
    2. how do the guild members felt about being in that guild
    3. Guild growth: How long they were around? Which was their lvl average?
    4. General feeling of the server towards that guild.

    I remember Leviathan too, they grew pretty big in their time, also I remember EMPERNO, that got absorbed by Leviathan if my memory doesn't fail me.

    Carebears too, they got pretty big in their time, but write a little more about them guys :)

    Also, Legacy held land for a short period of time, with Dhal as leader if my memory don't betray me, but yeah, they didn't do anything worth remembering so, cross off the list.

    For Mind Crime: indeed Kylin is the most accomplished overall, but I'm talking on the early months, let's keep the present away from the decision.

    Top 10:

    1- Kylin (Been alive, been dead and its alive and now far stronger then before with alot of lands in the map after over a year of TWars. They showed to the server how a strong core can make guilds survive the worst possible scenarios.)

    2- Crimson (An example of a guild, they surely deserve this place for having completely died once and then born from the "ashez" and "fury" of their destroyed house. Not alot of ppl believed they could get at the top3 of strongest guilds including me but they did it and deserve respect for doing it after all that happened to them)

    3- Kingdom(Managed to get almost all the map and jus couldnt do it thnx to in-guild drama and the resistance from KY to go down. They deserve this spot for almost doing what every guild aims for, complete map domination.)

    4- LastStand (didnt last long but surely they were a fun guild to have in the server. They gave the server drama and showed that being non-rpk doesnt mean carebear)

    5- Zulu (didnt do much till now but only rpk guild to have gone that far in HL)

    6- Pendulum (They were a fun rpk guild made of ppl that were very good at group pvp)

    7- QQme (a guild that managed to put together almost 100% of the active pvpers in the server and had a vast amount of pro solo and group pvpers, unlike Zulu)

    8- BloodCult (had alot of high lvl players but they also managed to become factors with a very few amount of players. They didnt do much but they surely made an impact)

    9- Mercenary (didnt do much too but they managed to get lots of lands and were once the 4th strongest guild on the server so they deserve to be mentioned)

    10- Leviathan ( also had very few players but were also a strong guild that I think should be mentioned for what they accomplished with what they had)

    Thats my top10, if anyone tells you anything up there is wrong then you know they are lying.b:laugh

    All the rest can be except Zulu, this 1 is a new guild and we're talking old school here. :)

    I'm like a small time guild jumper, I've been in Kylin, LastStand, Crimson and Zulu (+ many small ones) and out of all of these I'd say Zulu was the most fun to be doing stuff with. But Kylin were the most deciplined.

    If you are talking primarilly oldschool, KD is number 1 for dominating basically every aspect of the game along with crimson, they outlastest crimson while the server was still young tho, got the first lvl 3 and lvl 1 territory, almost took the whole map. then crimson would be 2nd, because early on they were a power house had more high levels than any other guild and took alot of land. QQme would be 3, because they were a guild assembled early on in the server primarilly to break up the kingdom crimson alliance however they could, took some land from crimson, crimson left kd alliance so QQme then took land from kylin. Kylin is number 4 because early on they were nothing special...late bloomers if you ask me. it wasnt until kylin broke the KD alliance when the map was split 2 ways that kylin really started to get strong.....if this was a current top 10 KY would be #1. And, the rest 5-10 dont really matter, because early on those 4 guilds i just named controlled everything.

    Define early server, Ill define it as before anni packs and everyone got GXs. It would have to be KD, Icons KD was when the game was still hard (well harder) to level and grinding was the main source of leveling.

    Indeed GoodGame and Ethics are not really old school... also, Karma is an old guild, they first got land when QQme disbanded, but they lost it (we, 'cause I was in Karma then ^^) on their first TW against The Realm. Karma actually had their glory days quite recently, after getting land from KD and winning over Ethics on defense, apart from the other small guilds they (we ^^) took on. So, this 3 guilds cross off the list.

    I say, any guild that only got on the map via taking land from a guild that was on the map and disbanned are automatically disqualified. It had to either be pve tw, or legit pvp.

    Well GoodGame is not truely old school but it was my favourite faction i've been in :P

    In the early days of server I was in Kylin, remember the KoS against CutieEyes guild SIN or w/e it was called, was funny :P I remember when i was lvl30 trying to pk a lvl30 sin bm the fight went on for ages xD Kylin early pvp tw's were funny, no1 knew what to do and officers were screaming orders in mic and everyone ignored them and tryed to pk as many SIN as possible.. no tactics at all xD , good times b:laugh

    As for best guild It was probably KD and Crimson, I joined the server 2 weeks late so I was never high enough to get into the powerhouse guilds but I remember they were really strong and had lots of 6x when most others were only 3x or 4x. I remember there was a PK fight at Swiftwind between KD and Crim and i was like lvl40 and I thought the lvl60s were Gods b:shocked

    Based on what I've read from the ppl that posted here, and on my own personal opinion, this are the the new possible 10 nominees for the upcoming poll:

    Last Stand, Icon's KD, Kylin, Crimson, Pendulum, Heavenly, QQme, Leviathan, BloodCult, 'Destiny' (not sure about this last 1)

    REMEMBER: this are not the final nominees, just the ones I feel have the most popular support and acomplishment as guilds based on this thread so far, this is still open to more changes :)

    Who the heck remembers that kind of stuff? And even still, what does it matter?
    You are trying to use meaningless tidbits of information from over a year ago as insults in present day.

    On topic: Citadel was, and always will be my favorite faction of all time. ^__^
