Dear members and friends,

This is the news post that I never thought I'd write. I went through a lot of funny openings... stuff like "When vapor becomes solid" and some "Vaporware lol" references and a classic Firstborn reference. But the fact that Darkfall is "coming soon" is not a joke any longer - it is in fact the most important event for our guild in many years.

Darkfall is build around all the core concepts that SUN was made for - boiled down to a single phrase it would probably be "conflict with consequences". In some ways Darkfall is a bit unpolished but it has all the important core mechanics - so Darkfall will be the new maingame for SUN.

Prepare yourself

We have not seen games like this in a long time, but we know that it will be a big challenge to compete. It is now the time for you to stock up the fridge and spend the next 14 days buying flowers, making dinner, and making massive love to your spouse - so you have limitless credit to start playing from the 25th February 2009.

PK is a lifestyle

Besides all the cool features of Darkfall (full item drop, manual aim, friendly fire, no instances, and much more) it will be a clan based game of conflict. It is the first game in a long long time where the oldschool PvP guilds can show if they are all talk or if they actually have something to back it all up.

SUN will take the only path a guild like ours can take, which is to be a red PK guild. It is gonna be a tough round and we need all the best players we can gather for something as ambitious as this.

Online gaming has evolved a bit during the years which has created some huge zerg guilds. Since SUN will never mass recruit - our role in the large scale politics is difficult to guess but our plan is clearly to be a small PK guild with a city, having a lot of great fights with our enemy guilds. If we at one point get overrun by some of the zergs then we will find a chaos stone and live the outlaw life.

The enemies

As seen before there will be a lot of goodie guilds, anti guilds, and of course a lot of PvP/PK guilds - and a bunch of noobs.

There are many oldschool guilds from the old UO and AC, classic PvP guilds like SiN and PRX. Several of the big zergs like Goonfleet and RUSCorp - in the last years games it has become clear that the zerg-guilds has to be aknowledged - even if mostly due to their insane number of members.

For amusement we have guilds like TheMercs. I still dont know if they actually believe the shit they are spewing, but I sure would like to put money on them leaving the game after two months claiming to have won Darkfall. The only really interesting thing about them is that Chuck Norris supposedly paid their guildleader one billion dollars and a small island because Osium actually wrote the pilot of Walker: Texas Ranger AND invented the roundhouse kick - but apparently got tired of it after a week and left.

Playerkill fest

The release days will be insane and especially because you know that every single PvP/PK guild worth anything will be there - and either the servers will die on day one, or we will have the biggest and craziest playerkilling fest ever seen in a MMO world.

In other words this is the time for all the PvP/PK guilds on the planet to show if they are worth anything - SUN will play our part best we can.

So with this "Call to Arms" we openly declare Darkfall to be our next main game and be assured we will go in bows blazing - killing, raping, and looting everyone we meet on our path.

En Garde,

P.S. Why are you still here? Go and buy flowers and a ten-pack of viagra so your wife can get the best 14 days in her life - cuz it surely will be the last she gets in 2009.

We are playing Darkfall on the EU-1 server. Below is a list of ig char names.
