Guild Info:
[DkR] is a long established UK & Ireland based online gaming clan/guild which tends to lean towards PvP whilst maintaining a strong presence in all areas of the games we play.

Although we aim to be highly skilled and thrive on competition, our priorities are enjoyment and a strong sense of community and friendship, and this will not change. Ensuring that all members feel welcome and valued is hugely important - we never want anyone to feel like they are just a name on a list or an anonymous follower.

Many of those who join [DkR] are considered members for life, and will always be welcome to participate in the clan even if they play in other clans at the same time, or if they decide to return after a long absence.

We normally only accept applicants aged 18 and older, and want members who take gaming seriously enough to play competitively, but not seriously enough to rage or get upset about it.

Our rules are mostly common sense and we ask for a reasonable level of activity from all of our members.

Head over to our website for more information or to apply.

Cheers!

I joined them in GW2, found the guild to be fairly rule intensive/wooden with a sprinkling of overly sensitive political correctness.

Maybe i didnt play long enough with them to see them coming into there own but i generally like to have the freedom to do what i want in a game and not be dictated to.

Can you be more specific? What did you want to do that we didn't allow?

Beyond not putting up with things like racism I don't know what you mean by "rule intensive", "overly sensitive" or "politically correct". I think I've only kicked out two people in the guild's entire 14 year history, and I can only think of one or two instances where the rules have even come up.

Not sure exactly where you got that impression from but it certainly hasn't been my experience.

I've been with them since just before GW2 launched and have nothing but good things to say about them, I would highly recommend anyone looking for a guild/clan to join for Wildstar or GW2 for that matter to look up DkR.

Dont get me wrong the type of guild is not a bad guild and DKR does allot of good, i particularly liked the time that you (darkademic) put into making custom avatars for each person.

However as this is an Irish forum i am generally advising people of what it could be like. It wasnt a "what couldn't i do" it was more the general atmosphere that i found very rigid and there seemed to be allot of politics involved. By that i mean things like rank ect had a certain formality and seriousness around them.

However i play with Omphin fairly regularly as ive been following him around MMO's since WoW and he has advised that the atmosphere was created by 1-2 people that have since moved on.

Also its important to note i played early on when the guild started, so i could have viewed the guild atmosphere incorrectly. That said i know there will probably be multiple different folks from the Irish community playing this game, some will suit DKR some wont i just wanted to add some perspective.

Chuey

DkR is probably the best gaming community I've belonged to. Friendly, relaxed and adventurous! I too followed Omphin in as GW2 approached and have never looked back following the guys into Neverwinter (tonight!!) and Wildstar in the future. There's also a contingent focused on ESO let's not overlook them.

DkR's green tide is rising and I hope people pop in to see what we're about.

That's fair enough, just curious where the impression came from is all.

I expect the ranks might come across more strict/formal than they actually are because I'm a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to making everything look professional and tidy -- they're really just to indicate the people who help to organise things, rather than implying "you must do whatever this person tells you to do".

Joined up in October for GW2 and must say they are a real nice bunch of people. Haven't really had any bother with rules or anything like that, most of the rules there are just common sense really so don't even notice them.

One thing that particularly stands out for me is the Guilds Mumble. Very inclusive and everybody is encouraged to join in, especially during Guild events like GW2's guild missions. Great way to get to know other people in the guild.

Dcully

I joined soon after GW2 release and had no major problems that i can remember.
I do recall a few small incidents on mumble or vent where the leader of WvW would shout at people to shut up while they were chatting away and not actually talking about the game and the task at hand.
While it wasnt directed at me [i usually say nothing anyways] i thought to myself thats waaay out of line and not in line with what i want from my gaming time.
Also since im more of a pve player in my MMO`s i was always asking in G chat and mumble for dungeon runs and never got to go with the guild as it was always mainly WvW which i didnt enjoy as it was/is just a zergfest imo.
There always seemed to be a group who ran PVE together and would never ask in G chat for others to come along,when i asked to come i was always told full group.
Eventually i hooked up with two others in the guild who said they suffered the same faith while seeking PVE groups.

But these issues are minor and expected with such a large guild [i always prefer smaller guilds where i actually get to know people]
From what i saw/see Dark puts in a huge amount of effort to keep things as smooth as he can and the minor issues i touched on were out of his control really, he cant be everywhere at the same time.
Id have no hesitation recommending DKR to people looking for a guild.

If only GW2 had something meaningful to do at max level.
Wildstar looks promising for sure.

was a member for a few months, seem to have been removed last week. one of my chars i think anyways.

While I wouldn't say shouting is a good way to handle it, it's very inconsiderate to talk continuously when someone is trying to lead or when people are trying to coordinate in voice channels that are specifically set up for it. We're not a super-serious or hardcore guild, but we still want to keep things reasonably organised. It's a bit of a balancing act, but I think we've done pretty well finding a nice middle ground.

Totally agree about WvW and GW2 though. Was great for a while, but zerging gets very boring, and there's not enough content specifically for guilds. Hence why we're looking at WildStar, which promises a lot of content for large organised groups.

copeyhagen wrote: »

Yup. Kicked out around 300 members last week. Had a big message on the website and on the guild panel in-game for about a month saying anyone who didn't specifically ask to remain in the in-game guild would be removed from it. Then those who were kicked from the in-game guild who hadn't visited the website in a long time or who had zero posts on the forums were removed from the guild entirely.

copeyhagen

yeh i had zero posts on forum.

Kiith

I was a member at launch of GW2 as well, and had a great time (still on the forums, though not often). If i had a pc, or wasn't in Australia, i'd happily join again for Wildstar.

Ah I probably took it up wrong so, it's not like I'm against proper structure as I've raided in a few guilds I just took up ranks wrong outside organised events .

Omphin

[DkR] are a great clan with a fantastic structure thats why i'm promoting them here. Sure I came across one or two people i didnt have much time for but I'm old and ugly enough to know that will happen in a larger network of people. There's loads of great people in DkR, some of the funniest guys i've spoken to in ages and plenty of down right decent fellas. I'm looking forward to exploring Wildstar with them as GW2 didnt reward guild play in WvW it only rewarded community zerging,(in tier 1 anyways)

Saviour_Angel

Regards to been kicked from DkR
This was done to clear out the dead weight, nothing personnel.
If you've been removed but wish to re-enter just let myself or another officer know - in-game mails please.

Regards to select few joining PvE groups
I've always had the stance of 1st come 1st served.
I always anounce in game "LFX for XYZ dungeon"... The first to respond get in the rest I'm afraid I just reiterate myself "1st come 1st served sorry".
It just so happens that the usual crowd join mumble which is a comms tool, which allows faster responses rather then the in game chat.
I've always encouraged people to join and get involved.
Mumble is just simly faster at shouting out to join a group then the normal chat function.

Regards to shouting on mumble.
I don't believe there is a defense as such for this,
Although it is not nice to join a mumble channel and begin to ramble when people are currently using that channel to organize parties.

Regards to ranks.
Ranks are for simply displaying people who have helped out with the guild and have powers (ability to start guild missions or invite to the guild).
I still am not clear as to how or why I'm senior officer.... most people just view me as another grunt in the front lines.

DkR is not just for one game but many, don't feel like your restricted.
I myself play many games that other do not.
World of Tanks,
World of War Planes,
League of Legends - about a dozen in guild play.... good fun on mumble

Coming games would be,
Wildstar,
The Elder Scrolls Online
and many more which people in guild have mentioned.

The Irish tide surged forward and swamped DkR back in Jan + Feb when Darkademic was away and I ruled with an Irish fist.... muahahaha
We had quite a few Irish individuals join us in this time.
This community is for anyone and everyone, with English been the primary language.

And my final note is that I have no idea why I wrote all of the above as I forgot why I am writing this....

I shout on mumble, not because I want to, but because I've had to. It's a very rare occasion, but there is something seriously wrong if I have to. I play hardcore and I like to play well with whoever I'm playing with, which sometimes in the past has required me to raise my voice. It is a last resort but working method for good leadership and us winning large group fights.

Irish in-particular have made great leaders and guild members from my experience, I really hope to see some of your applications on the site for Wildstar!

You Can shout at me anytime Toglos!!!!
In Fairness some gamers today want to be treated with kid gloves. If someone is acting an ass in your raid and repeats it, then a good strong "wtf you doing!" is in order

Yah but counterpoint to that is their are egotistical assholes who think they can say what they want to others as they are a supposed leader in a fictional game. You treat people like adults first and if that doesnt work then try the kid approach.

Im not saying that happens in DKR but just counterpoint to your off topic point.

So nothing to worry about there, I have equal amount of respect for all members in DkR and equally they have respect for each other. In DkR we all have our strengths and weakness', and I like to accomplish our achievements by working together, as opposed to being an egotistical asshole (Being an ENTJ, I can certainty come across like that to some but it's certainty not intentional). Without the core members in DkR putting in the work, we wouldn't be where we are today.

End of the day, I'm Darkademic's bitch so if there are any problems go straight to him and he'll let me know, and I like to work on where I can improve in my leadership skills and maintain a good relationship with all our members.

Dcully

Was that directed at me? since i was the one that mentioned the shouting.

For the record nobody was acting an ass in raid, people were simply talking about the game and then were shouted to shut up!, a simple request along the lines of "if people want to discuss the game please do it in another channel" would be better served

Toglos

I doubt it, he doesn't like shouting either! :rolleyes:

Honestly, I don't think anyone does in DkR! We do however prefer banter, essential for any healthy community.

Wasnt directed at anyone. It was a general statement. I actually had a different personal experience in mind. And i agree with your quote above however i remember several people talking over the commander many times and after a while it even pissed me off and i think the issue has been well blown out of proportion, even dramatically so.

I think it's been addressed. :cool:

Aye well lets get the thread back on track so. I can vouch for [DkR] being a great community and I believe people here on boards should come experience Wildstar with some likeminded folk that love gaming and having good fun. here a reminder of how it is

Toglos

Omphin wrote: »

And WvW.

Toglos

We worked very closely with [ThUn] when we created the alliance and community which originally populated GunnarsHold in GW2, I'm sure Darkademic would like to elaborate. We have had a strong relationship with them since then and still do as we work exceptionally well together.

Look i'm not having a pop at DKR, i have raided in wow, done organized/competitive pvp across multiple games so i do understand what is required to make a guild a success. You can't carry people but you also can't be so over the top that the core are the only members involved in anything, to build a good guild/community its a bit of both.

My comment was only in response to another point which as you can see from the thread i wasn't the only one who was thinking along those line.

Finally i suppose you must remember the Irish gaming community is small enough, boards is a focal point for many gamers and we do talk about all sorts of stuff including guilds. Having some critical feedback isn't a bad thing as your response shows how genuine you are.

From the responses so far DKR in my opinion comes across as a very community driven guild, yes there have been issues in the past which you refer to

I think it's been addressed.

but they are addressed and feedback is take on board. So overall it looks like a place i would like to play .

I personally would really like to get more members from the Irish gaming community involved within DkR. We are something that advertises itself to a large number of mature gamers and are really enthusiastic about Wildstar.

I've been trying to rally the irish gamers for years. In WoW first with a guild called Erin Go Bragh [EGB] and for a time we did quite well. for the most part alot of irish gamers have been spread out over several games and when in a game, they are on different servers.

I personally made an alt on every english speaking WoW server and would announce the pressence of EGB on Doomhammer. That was several years back. So getting alot of the irish into one place with one focus has always been something i wished to see. I also made a facebook group called Emerald Dream group. http://www.facebook.com/groups/153782087979231/ This is a loose collection of irish players I have made contact with over the years.

I see [DkR] as the best place to rally irish players to for the upcoming Wildstar. I've played with DkR members and they are a great bunch. You have the freedom to be as involved as you like. For example I ran with Iron guild in Gw2 after DkR stopped doing organised WvW events, there was no drama because of my decision. The DkR forums are great and aways active, I even wonder where some of the crazy topics come from, always fun to read.

DkR also picked up a fair few irish in Gw2 and we have been very active within the clan. I would dearly like to see more guys from boards being active DkR members so that the irish gamers have a place to focus on and build. Most of my best experiences have come from playing with UK players and I think the Irish really fit in well with them. The banter is always good and i think often our different accents help deliver our own stories in a refreshing and entertaining way

i'm always available for people to have a one on one chat with. If anyone has any questions please get in touch with me. I hope you consider DkR when would wish to try out Wildstar.... see? it even rhymes!

Working in the outdoors I've always climbed, surfed and drank with the Irish since there were always a handful at the activity centre's I've worked at. Some of which are still my best mates who I'm planning to go travelling with down to Indonesia, Oz N' New Zealand! (Can't wait)

Like you say the reason I personally get along with the Irish so well is because of the Banta. Accents are such a strong point in DkR which makes it so interesting being on mumble since we have members for practically everywhere.

Here's a couple of screenshots from our member map.

Darkademic

I'm actually half-Irish, so DkR has had Irish blood from the very beginning! :cool:

Calhoun

That explains why ya put up with us :P

Donkzy

Hello everybody, I'm Donkzy from DkR, just wanted say hya to you all, I read through the thread, and in response to one or two of the slighly negative posts would just like to put it in to context, a little back story. Upon release of gw2, we had about 300 very active people most not played together and with that many new people you will always have an idiot or two, and not every person will love everybody else with that many people, it just normal, and these was sorted out very quickly. As from my perspective we are a gaming community first and so massive egos or being an arsheole not wanted :P

The people that are still with us are some of the nicest, and funniest, people you will meet in a game and not bad players to boot. Many many hours on mumble having a 'craic' as Saviour puts it. Hope you consider us any questions ask away
If you do we playing a lot of other games atm while waiting for Wildstar so nice to come and get to know you before release

The guilds turning green

Omphin

Donkz everyone already knows you from your famous event farming video >.<

Poisondwarf

Hi Guys

I'm Poison and have been in DkR since the GW2 BETA. Like Donkz said the guild is a great community, is very well organized and full of some really decent gamers. During my time with the guild I have made some great friends and now find it hard to play games in which the guild is not active.:)

I was mainly a WVW player which was always well organized and if I ever wanted to do PVE or a dungeon, all I had to do is ask in Guild chat and I had a group in a few minutes. In fact I never did a Dungeon with a PUG group.

Anyway why not join us and see for yourself what a great community we have.

Hey guys, This is exactly what im looking for lol.. an Irish community/guild across many games as I know everyone plays lots of games.
Ive gone over to your website and contacted you anyway so it would be cool to join, I play swtor atm but bored now as you can imagine and can't wait for Wildstar to come out!
It would be cool to already be in a serious guild on the first day. my friends in swtor won't be playing wildstar I think.
anyway nice thread and hope to play with you all soon

Hya nice to meet you glad you applied, please be patient tho he got a lot on atm

I'll take this as a chance to update DkR

With Wildstar ever slowly getting closer (yes still a couple months off) we are beginning to decide on race, still a long way off till final decision but everybody opinion is welcome and taken on board so now is good time to join and have your say. Closed beta also interesting but as you know NDA can't say too much, but a few of us may of gotten in.

I'll give you a bit of our background when DkR was leading up to gw2 release, We made a build tool website, Our leader DarkAdemic made http://gw.guildex.org/ which we used to choose server and alliances, before release.
We recruited and was selective about the people we accepted and we got up to about 300-400 people before we decided that was enough.
On release night our mumble server which can hold 200 was pretty much maxed out all waiting for that first person to say 'I'M IN' at about 5am. exciting times.

Upon release we played all aspects of the game to a high standard in wvw, we had a very nice alliance with ThUN, think CiR and a few others as well till a few people lost interest numbers dropped. (mainly due to lack of updates from Anet, if anything they removed more stuff than added) lots and lots of occasions 40+ people well organised by Toglos and a few others

PvE wise Saviour (officer) could walk you through any dungeon step by step without being in party, Most of our PvE'rs all had full dungeon master achievement and very very high achievement ratings. but again the content ran out for a lot of us

sPvP we had a lot of set teams at start (7 I think), a few did pretty well but as the competitive PvP never really took off this dwindled similarly to wvw.

So for a lot of us we got burned out in gw2, Think I had 1600 hours on it and enough is enough, I miss the gear grind from other mmo's it must be said

Now wildstar we have have guild server website up http://wildstar.guildex.org/ and are working on a Wildstar skill website http://wildstarbuilds.com/ and recruiting slowly

Also we are mainly Uk and Ireland, but have people from all over the world

So now I think as a guild we looking for next big MMO, was kinda split between ESO and Wildstar but from looking at the features of wildstar (20/40 man raids + massive warplots battles + focused pvp) we mainly looking towards Wildstar.

In the mean time we still play togeter on mumble lots of people playing many different games, a lot more lately after the steam sale (we have a steam group also) The games mainly played atm are League of legends, Terraria (we have server), Borderlands 2, Battlefield 2, Path of Exile, Civilisation 5, Sins of a Solar Empire and a few others are pretty popular also.

So yeh if this sounds like the place for you please apply, we a are a community first all friendly, but also skilled and dedicated players look forward to meeting you

Ah the fond memories from mumble while guiding ye through Arah Path 1 1st boss, and the sweet sounds of your teammates
"Ahhhh the blobs there everywhere, run back..... ahhhh spiders... runaway..."

I remember hearing the soft whimper as your team ran from the blobs into a pack of spiders (hidden in the walls on the left hand side - ye were warned), then ran away from them back into all the blobs, and one by one proceeded to die.

With Wildstar ever slowly getting closer (yes still a couple months off) we are beginning to decide on race, still a long way off till final decision but everybody opinion is welcome and taken on board so now is good time to join and have your say. Closed beta also interesting but as you know NDA can't say too much, but a few of us may of gotten in.

I'll give you a bit of our background when DkR was leading up to gw2 release, We made a build tool website, Our leader DarkAdemic made http://gw.guildex.org/ which we used to choose server and alliances, before release.
We recruited and was selective about the people we accepted and we got up to about 300-400 people before we decided that was enough.
On release night our mumble server which can hold 200 was pretty much maxed out all waiting for that first person to say 'I'M IN' at about 5am. exciting times.

Upon release we played all aspects of the game to a high standard in wvw, we had a very nice alliance with ThUN, think CiR and a few others as well till a few people lost interest numbers dropped. (mainly due to lack of updates from Anet, if anything they removed more stuff than added) lots and lots of occasions 40+ people well organised by Toglos and a few others

PvE wise Saviour (officer) could walk you through any dungeon step by step without being in party, Most of our PvE'rs all had full dungeon master achievement and very very high achievement ratings. but again the content ran out for a lot of us

sPvP we had a lot of set teams at start (7 I think), a few did pretty well but as the competitive PvP never really took off this dwindled similarly to wvw.

So for a lot of us we got burned out in gw2, Think I had 1600 hours on it and enough is enough, I miss the gear grind from other mmo's it must be said

Now wildstar we have have guild server website up http://wildstar.guildex.org/ and are working on a Wildstar skill website http://wildstarbuilds.com/ and recruiting slowly

Also we are mainly Uk and Ireland, but have people from all over the world

So now I think as a guild we looking for next big MMO, was kinda split between ESO and Wildstar but from looking at the features of wildstar (20/40 man raids + massive warplots battles + focused pvp) we mainly looking towards Wildstar.

In the mean time we still play togeter on mumble lots of people playing many different games, a lot more lately after the steam sale (we have a steam group also) The games mainly played atm are League of legends, Terraria (we have server), Borderlands 2, Battlefield 2, Path of Exile, Civilisation 5, Sins of a Solar Empire and a few others are pretty popular also.

So yeh if this sounds like the place for you please apply, we a are a community first all friendly, but also skilled and dedicated players look forward to meeting you

Awesome reply thanks
I have contacted through the DKR website, but as you said you guys have a lot on so I can be patient no worries, Wildstar won't be out for a while yet lol.
The only game i'm really playing at the moment is swtor , I have a lvl 80 character in GW2 on Piken square, went there with a few guildies from swtor when it was released, but got to 80 fully geared and bored very quickly.

I actually started out on desolation but it always annoyed me when vizunah just took everything over while us guys were asleep lol so I just stopped altogether, much prefer the pvp in swtor.

Wildstar looks like everything ive been looking for and I consider myself a decent pvper, I have been asked to join some really good pvp guilds before, but they all fell apart due to people leaving and such
In the process now again of setting up another ranked team lol

Id be happy to join you guys in wildstar if your looking for another Irish cupcake so ill probably hear back from my application through e-mail then ?
thanks again !
