Hear Ye! Hear Ye!

Project 1999, a private EverQuest server, launched October 9th 2009, has seen the light of day. The dwellings of old and fond memories have come to be re-lived and re-experienced, by heroic men and frisky womens (and Zunn), in all of it's glory and can now bask in thee success it has already achieved...


Okay, enough of that shit...

EverQuest, Project 1999 has been aired and the Darkwind Community could not let this opportunity, of re-living the good old days, pass them by. We have established a guild on the server and have already invited over a dozen new old-timers from the original EverQuest I days.

In short, Project 1999 is all about EverQuest Classic and up till Velious. The creators will only implement these three expansions and do not intend releasing any more content than this. Game updates will be done in the same fashion it was done back in the day, following a specific timetable on when, what and where the Game Updates will appear.

We urge you to come back and get hooked once again, as it will suck you back in, violate the crap out of you and continue to do so till you beg for mercy and commit suic... a felony.

If you're in doubt of how you can join the awesomeness, follow the link below and be up and running in less than 1 hour.


EverQuest I, Project 1999 - How To get Started!

Mind you, activation mails from the EQemu boards cannot be delivered to Hotmail and some other E-mail services. There have been a high rate of success in receiving the activation mail via Gmail. So if everything else fail, go create a Gmail account.


Slackers, Wankers, Biyatches, Dingbats, Mongs and Fanny's UNITE!


P.S. No more Necromancers or Trolls!

P.P.S. Shitload of people can invite. So just /tell whoever is online and try out your luck!

Darkwind was created 4 weeks ago on EQ2 the Splitpaw server, and until now our members have been working towards level 80 while getting used to the game.

All this work has been reflected to the guild level as well, which is currently over level 30, enabling us to get a guild hall and many other goodies. During this time we have been recruiting new and old members into DW and have finally been able to do our first raid at level 80 in the Protectors Realm.



We downed the first bosses who, even though they all had looked the same, had really varied fights. I must say the guild really enjoyed having to run from aoe's, fear and mana drains, not to mention the return of the missed DT's from EQ. With the first 4 bosses down we got to eventually got to face the 5th boss of the zone which also bit the dust as last dish of the night.



Next week we will return with epics and better gear, and hopefully with the zone finished, so check back soon!

Darkwind is currently recruiting: Fury, Templar, Inquistor, and possibly space for 1 zerka/guardian as back up.

Once again this community crosses another new year's line!

Having formed over a decade ago, Darkwind keeps on proving that we are more than a guild.
On the early 2009 we made our official appearance in World of Warcraft based on just veteran Darkwind members, and it has been developing at an amazing speed, climbing on ranks up to the top 3 server-wide.

Parallel to Blizzard's monopoly, our members have also been actively checking on other MMORPGs where we could deploy a steady community, being Aion: The Tower of Eternity (the irony...) the most notable of them, where we fought together once again achieving some great feats. In the end however, the game was a disappointment for most of us, and decided to move on without any regrets, for our time there was as priceless as usual.

Let me mention that, besides having small groups of people playing around in Steam, Xbox, EVE, Heroes of Newerth... a small EverQuest 2 squad has recently started in the EU-Splitpaw server formed mostly of original EverQuest players.

Going further than gaming, our members have also had the chance to meet up yet again this year, and though the photos haven't been made public (we don't know what kind of content they have, but everybody involved in them seems to go with a Raj-style Wat pics? I don nou dood!), either way everybody seemed to have a blast.


All that and a lot more are the reasons why we want to wish you a happy 2010, with lots of loot, even more boosts on the rank of WoW's Darkwind, another meeting with even more attendants (with DKP!), and who knows if another decent game we can play together once again (hello Bioware?).

Thank you all the people who have trusted the guild, and thus have been trusted back, those who have applied, those who have persisted (through the bad and the good times), the additions from other games that will continue checking on us and probably join in the near future, those who are fighting for their loot and name, the officers and people who guide the guild, the people that donates to keep up this page and community, the members that try and endure new releases, those that attended the meeting, and in general, everybody who is, has been, or will be in Darkwind for making of us such a comfortable group of awesome people.

Being in a hardcore guild with friends and having a life seems like a mutual exclusion, but Darkwind bends this urban legend, and if you wonder why, try us!

On Sunday morning a raid call was made that the big ksellid Andre had been found. Darkwind gathered in Eltnen and after a bit of organisation and waiting for people to arrive we finally started the epic battle against this beast:



After a long while...



Unfortunately I didn't manage to capture a kill shot, but congratulations go to Runzelruebe on a nice new warhammer. Our first raid boss drop!

Congratulations Darkwind yet again.

More news from Aion!

Last night we managed to finally find something to raid in Aion! Grand Chieftain Saendukal, known to be a tough mob was up in Kaidan HQ with his accompaniment of henchmen.

After a few unsuccessful attempts at pulling him solo, hehe, we finally assigned our sorcerers to their respective mezzing tasks and set off on the roller-coaster of attempts at this mob.

Anyone who has tried him knows that positions and timing is crucial, and we learnt and learnt some more until finally...




Congratulations to Darkwind on our first true raid boss kill!

Regards,
V

Hello folks,
As things start to shift up a gear in Aion we are now actively recruiting specific classes to fill out our ranks prior to the larger scale PVP we wish to take part in. We are now raiding two days a week (Friday and Sunday) and hoping to increase that as people reach higher levels.

Currently we are looking for the following classes:

Templar
Cleric
Chanter

To wet your appetite here are some screenshots of Darkwind's latest escapades. Enjoy!

Darkwind sets off to capture artifacts and help in a fortress assault:


Some random guard which crossed our path in Asmodean lands:

Applications are currently open, so feel free to browse the forums if you wish to join our Elyos Legion.

We all hope you will enjoy Aion as much as we all are currently, and looking forward to some PvP fun in the later levels.
