The Brief History of Dark Solstice Dark Solstice, under the tag "House Maelstrom" was conceived in March of 2003 when myself and others became sick of our current guild at the time's recruiting policies. Unfortunately, the GM allowed anyone with a pulse to join and the guild grew to over 350 people in Shadowbane who knew absolutely nothing about each other. So, with the release of Starwars Galaxies just around the corner, we decided to split from the huge machine the guild had become and go at it on our own. During SWG beta we found a few other like minded folks that seemed to never log off. Oompa, Kyan, Omah and Enoofu joined up with myself and a very talented Architect to start the team. Soon after release, old friends from DAoC RavenX and Ang came on board the moment they logged into SWG and House Maelstrom was formed. ML became the first PA on the Kettemoor server (7 days). We quickly recruited up and coming crafters and dominated in PvP and the crafting world. ML was with out a doubt the strongest guild to ever walk the face of Kettemoor and will always be the first. After several months in SWG, it became quite clear that the game was no where near finished. That coupled with a pathetic cloning system and complete lack of content, ML was forced to leave. Now without a game, ML joined up again in Final Fantasy temporarily then Neverwinter nights and DAoC until the release of Blizzard's World of Warcraft. Approximately four months before World of Warcraft's release (and after two months of debate), ML officially changed its tag to "Dark Solstice". The name possesses meaning, as it signifies several aspects of our past. We joined the Laughing Skull server of WoW and quickly rose to be one of the premier guilds there. We fought against some decent PvP guilds most notably The Mercs, SoB and Disciples of the Darkhand. After the defeat of Raganaros most of the guild realized the game is too heavily PvE centric and started looking towards our next conquest. We are currently set to begin the Darkfall beta sometime "soon". We plan to be the strongest once agian. God have mercy on anyone that gets in our way. Draive
