I asked KGB Knight, Sir Vyse to write down an account of that faithful 24 hours when we took our first city in Darkfall. Here is it:
Quote:
2/27/09 – A day that will go down in KGB history

A little back ground to begin with. The server came up around 9:30 PST after being down for over 24 hours. Going into this evening there was already a lot of frustration about the overall Darkfall experience so far. This was about to change.....

Objective #1 – Use the V keys! – Method: Donk - Kamakazee

We were a little spread out through the starter cities at first. Donk, Heidi, Jet, Hare, Romeo (need all the names here) were meeting in in upper Yishku (sp?) to then head out to the V key dungeon. As we ran to find the dungeon we discussed strategy and Donk would hold the keys while others ran in and took aggro. It took a while to find the chest but Donk was able to use both keys and escape with an extra 2k gold and some loot. (Hey Jet add more here because I was not actually in the dungeon – share the mobs, the excitement etc I was still trying to catch up to u lol)

This took from about 9:30 pm PST til 11:30 pm PST

Objective #2 – Farm Gold – Method: Newb Quests

From successfully using the V keys we all met up in Upper Yishku. We got the newb quests and zerged them. Many people around the gobs – but KGB had the numbers, not to mention the wicked awesome ninja looters. Donk had a great idea here. Anyone ninja loots our kill and each person go grey with one hit on them. People were running around so confused it was hilarious. They go grey and then all of a sudded 10-12 people hit him once each? Yeah I would be running away too. We got enough kills and axes to continue on through the grinding quests and then was time for the 1 hour times goblin quest. At this point Arkh was on and told us of a much better spawn. We followed him and he was so right. Tons of gobs, less camped and all of us got our kills with time to spare. During this venture someone thought it would be a “wise” thing to attack Donk. Donk starts to deal with her and then calls in for the help. Jet, Heidi, (a couple others can’t remember who can you?) pursued the bitch and took her down. She had so much stuff on here they spend a solid 3 minutes just looting. The goblin spawn also had a weapons rack nearby so it was very worth the little extra time running there. At this point we all made a run back to the bank to sell and see how much we had made. After the last person had turned over their hard earned cash we had just over 10k!

This took from about 11:30 pm PST til 3:30 am PST


Objective #3 – Operation Clan Stone – Method: Escort Jet safely to city

This is where we began to get the true feeling of “the good ol days”. You remember the butterflies, hoping not to get killed while carrying precious cargo. Jet had the all important 10k clan stone. 1st we headed to bind at a point nearest to the city (city name?). Next we met up with Arkh and Donk, Hare and Romeo. As we get to the coast and are on the final leg of the run Thomas was about 1 minute behind us started getting PKd. Donk pulled off to help and the rest of us charged on in. Jet used the stone and the city was ours!!!! With out time for celebration we all immediately left to go assist Donk and Thomas. Some how the pricks lost us in a spawn of centours and other creatures that were besting us. After regaining our composure we all had time to celebrate and enjoy a nights hard work. What an amazing team effort and one that I personally will never forget.

I learned several things about KBG this night.
- Never underestimate our leadership in Jet
- Never Fuck with Donk in PVP (It is like playing call of duty on veteran mode: you will not survive)
- Never underestimate the sneakiness of Arkh (that dude appears out of thin air I swear)
- Most of all I learned that we have what it takes to fight as a team, to work as a team and to give as a team. There was not one selfish act this night and it showed in our end result.

I got up this morning at 3:30am to get ready for work, I didn’t go to bed til 5:30am. 26 hours of no sleep has never been more worth it smile This is the first step of many and what a night it was.

This took from about 3:30 am PST til 4:45 am PST

Thanks all for the solid effort. I know that Jet has a special reward for all those involved.

BEERS!!!!!


Once again, I have to say, this game is not perfect, but I have been having the best time that I can remember. Join us today!

No, just studying for an exam. Bored to death out of my mind. I'm sort of thankful the game isn't in my hands yet, and hopefully it won't be until Tuesday morning once my exam is over... but I also want to secure my copy before it sells out.

LOL, my exam is Tues morning as well. Hardest material I've ever had to go over in my life, Sooooo many acronyms and details and redundancy and redundancy and redundancy. In fact, in the next few months, they're going to start giving Master's degree credits for attending this AF Lieutenant PME course.

As always a silvered tongued devil with the written language. Damn you all who were able to get accounts. j/k

Great work guys, I had a chance check out the location - must say what is not to like about being surrounded by a moat of acid?

Sorry guys this was meant to be edited a bit more. My bad I forgot to tell Jet to add in some parts.

Those who were part of that night that I missed please let me know - it is important to me that you are in there. I know I left off at least 5.

I agree with everything said here and Jet has described the "hand shaking" pvp experience very well.

This night is one that should live in KGB history!

In addition to the account from Vyse let me add that Donk and I (mostly Donk) and I think Romeo or Garcia was there, were in the city before Jet started to it. No one has said yet that every few minutes there was a system message that another guild was the proud owner of a new city. My point is that I was very worried that any second a group would roll up and claim the acid city. All senses were heightened as we ran to the city.

When I got there Donk was engaged in a fight with a single player who started to run when he saw me join the fight, bad move. Then we had a group of 3 come in from the West (my first 3 on 3 fight) after we dispatched them I ran West to see if there were any others forming in that direction since Jet and the group were coming that way. 2 more players showed up and we chased them a bit and they got scared off.

So the night was even more intense than Jet and Vyse knew. Although Jet was chitting bricks carrying the city stone, I can't tell you how important that 10k was for us that early in the game with a decent city left for us to take. I don't think it could have been more intense for him.

Seconds ticked away like hours almost and what a relief for Jet to claim the city while sprinting from the group of pkers right on his tail.

This was a night of Epic events. Every passing day in DarkFall just adds to the lore.

Thanks for letting me run with you guys.
