If you ever get into Online Only games like Everqest, Dark age of Camelot, or Asherons Call. You’ll know that some people can create some funny clans.
[url=http://www.borg.ac/]http://www.borg.ac/[/url]This is taking role playing to a whole new level!
This is on Asherons Call Player Killer Only server where sudden death is a way of life. Anyone, at any level can kill you for any reason they see fit. One of the nice things about AC is the ability to macro or script your character while your working, going to school, sleeping, ect. These guys have the smartest scripts ive ever seen! They only attack players when that player kills them. They wont see you as a threat until you **** them off. And once you **** them off, instead of one attacking you, they all attack! You can kill one Borg, seconds latter, all of them are jumping your ass!
They automatically put people on a KOS list (Kill on sight) and its updated hourly from their server. All borgs, no matter where they are will know friend from foe and will immediatly attack them reguardless if theres no chance of surviving.
In Asherons call, when you die, you are given a penalty of all your secondary skills by 5%. You can get a maximum of 40% penalty, and this is the way they play! To return to 0% penalty, you simply kill enough monsters to earn the XP to burn off that penalty. These guys play at 40% 24/7.
There is huge monarchy responcible for making life a living hell for everyone. They cheat, exploit, hack, crack, you name it! They have no rules at all, so natually all crackers join up knowing full well they wont be punished. They take PvP too far, and ruin the game for most people.
The goal of the borg, is to make this clans life a living hell just like they did to the server. Pretty soon they will camp their HQ and wreck mass havok, and the beauty of it, its all done via script. Automatic grief!
Now theres another clan, they call themselves the Federation. They too run on scripts, except their scripts are so simple so weak, that they automatically kill anything that moves. They cant distinguish friend from foe.
Only in a video game will you see The Borg as friendly folks, and The Federation as evil PK scum. Weird dont ya think?
