Guild Spotlight: "The Dark Legion" of Regnum Online
Our Interview with the Leader and Members of "The Dark Legion"

Recently I had the honor of speaking to one of the largest and more renown clans (the Regnum Online version of guilds) of the Horus server on Regnum Online. For those of you not familiar with Regnum Online, it is an independent fantasy MMORPG developed by the Argentina-based company NGD Studios. The game is free-to-play, with some fee-based premium content. They have recently made a major upgrade/update to their game, entirely replacing their old character models with new (and much more visually appealing) ones. If you haven't yet taken a look at Regnum Online, I suggest you do. You can read about them on their official site at www.RegnumOnline.com.ar. We will have a more thorough review of Regnum Online itself in the coming weeks, but you can get some insight now from our interview with Wyatt (leader of The Dark Legion), and the other members of the clan who weigh in on our Q&A:
Q. How long has The Dark Legion been in existence?
A. The Dark Legion has been in existence since beta under a different name on the International server "Ra". First it was under the name The Chosen Ones Of The Dark for about 2 years (The clan at that time was English and Spanish speaking). In 2008 we reformed the clan under the new name The Dark Legion as an English clan. This clan launched a few months before the English speaking server Horus opened; once it opened we all moved here, and it's been home ever since.
Q. About how many members do you have?
A. On average we have a wide range of members, our clan is mostly active on the weekends for obvious reasons with about 12 members online during our peak times (Mostly during Europeans afternoon times). Our lowest number of online members is about 5 or so, during US Times. We have a total of 194 members (some are hardcore gamers and most are just casual and play from time to time and of course we all have alternate characters so that reflects in our current numbers).
Q. Are you strictly a Regnum Online guild/clan?
A. Yes, we are a strictly Regnum Online clan. It's the only game we play.
We're a Clan with rules and standards and we believe that everyone should abide by the rules we have here. Of course we give members chances but that is an exception and depending on the case of the matter. Our rules are there so that members know what is expected of them and that they could do right by doing what they can most of the time and following the game rules and following our rules (which isn't so hard if you ask me). We are a clan with a family feeling and we all care for each other a lot.

Q. What draws your guild to Regnum Online over other fantasy MMORPG's?
A. The Dark Legion Clan feels like a family inside a game. We all get along, it has an enormously great atmosphere, and the members are all friendly toward each other. We do events that most clans in our realm don't do and we try to do stuff together as much as possible. We strive for excellence and we do the best we can to make every member feel at home. The clan is totally awesome.
As another member put it: "I think The Dark Legion has found a home in Regnum Online that no other Fantasy MMORPG's could give. Regnum Online is an awesome game, great graphics, lovely people and the game play is, well, cool!"
Q. Does your guild have goals in terms of what you wish to accomplish within the game?
A. Our Clan has the following goals in mind:
- Do Clan Events as much as we can (Every weekend we have events going on, on the last weekend of the month we do tournaments).
- We also do Clan Meetings so members can discuss what's on their mind and give promotions to those that deserve it.
- We want to be a very well-known clan in Regnum Online and we are striving to make that possible. We're a well respected clan on Ignis and among other realms in the Regnum Online English server.
- Still be the united clan that we are.
- Develop interesting features for the website for both the Regnum Online Community and clan alike.
[Other members also indicated that helping each other and banding together is very important to their clan.]

Q. Do you hold special events in game, and if so are they open to outsiders or members only?
A. Our Events have always been for members so far. Sometimes we find someone interested in joining our clan and they see what we do.
We do special Events like: Boss Killing Events, clan-only tournaments, Clan Meetings, hunt together, war together, Weekly Arena day. We try to pool every resource we have inside the game to make our game experience unique and to feel unique.
Q. What kinds of activities does Regnum Online offer, and what does your guild focus on?
A. Regnum Online offers the possibility to do RvR action in Warzone or PvP, and kill Epic Monsters like Tenax or Daen Rha with the Ignis Realm. Sometimes we go after other realm bosses like Evendim or Thorkul for example or we do the endgame of Regnum Online which is Invasion(RvR), and PvE. Our Clan focuses on doing stuff together as much as possible. We're always united; you would not see a Dark Legion member alone most of the time. We are always doing something [together]!
We hunt, war, boss kill, we try to do everything we can come up with. We grind together if we're close to each others' levels. We help members anyway we can. I would say we focus on every aspect equally.

Q. What qualities of Regnum Online have kept you interested this long?
A. I will say that the thing that has kept me going so far has been the Community and my Clan, The game is truly awesome and unique, but it would not be the same without friends.
The Developers at NGD Studios are also very awesome guys! Surak, to name one, is a very awesome guy that works for them. The developers value community interaction and that makes me personally feel great in this MMORPG, and as a Spanish person born and raised in New York City, I am very proud to be playing an Online MMORPG made by Latinos.
Q. What is the PvP and RvR like in Regnum Online, and what kind of role does your guild play?
A. PvP [in Regnum this is mostly an uncommon 1-on-1] you don't see much to be honest. PvP is something you mostly see at the Arena or in Warzone on some occations, but when PvP battles happen they are awesome to see; most of the time they are very balanced. RvR on the other hand, it depends on the time of the day.. Syrtis [an opposing realm] mostly outnumber both realms in their peak time and sometimes its not fun to war against the odd 2 to 10 for example. But when RvR is balanced, the wars can be very fun and unique to play. Ignis and Alsius [the other two realms] have a peak time as well, but balanced fights are the ones to enjoy the most.
RvR plays an important part in the endgame, which is referred to as "Invasions". Each realm battles for the sacred gems that the realms have to open a portal that will take them to a special place in which they will be able to vote for a "wish".
Q. What do you think the future holds for The Dark Legion?
A. We have so many plans as a Clan. We believe The Dark Legion will expand and grow in many ways! We're always trying our best to be a successful clan and we always value members opinions. The Dark Legion has great leadership (Me[Wyatt] with the High Council) and has awesome members. This clan will continue to grow and expand and continue to have the family feeling it has always had inside our MMORPG. We even connect through Facebook.
[The other members of the guild also point to the excellent clan leadership that keeps things together.]

Q. Do you have a website where someone could get more information on your guild?
A. Our Clan website is http://www.thedarklegion.org - This is our official clan website. Come join us and have a chat with us. You don't have to be a member to join our forum!
We're developing interesting features for the website that will increase its visitor count and userbase, and make it more on the radar. So stay tuned and check back with us often! All information on our clan is on this page. If you want to ask questions you can do so on our forums.
Q. For those interested in joining The Dark Legion, what are your requirements?
A. Our requirements can be found here: http://www.thedarklegion.org/phpb/viewforum.php?f=24 (In our Recruiting Room Forum) It is a lot to read, but we believe that each clan can do a lot to succeed if they have the right rules and right state of mind in how to manage a guild! So don't hesitate to join us!
We're recruiting actively !
Q. Is there anything else you would like to share with our members and fans about your guild or Regnum Online in general?
A. Our Clan has members from all over the world and we want to continue growing. We grow at a slow pace so that members get to know each other better and see how the clan is. We don't like to mass recruit; we've never done it, and never will. Sometimes we close down recruiting and delete members that no longer play (or because they never informed us that they were leaving, so we keep the clan reflecting real numbers).
We are a well balanced clan and we think we can offer anyone and anybody a place for them inside The Dark Legion.
Our Clan Website has been around for almost 2 years now and we're on the way to developing interesting features! There is one that we hope we release sometime this month(April) that will increase the site's popularity. So be sure to stay tuned for more!
We also have a YouTube page so you can see what our clan does in Videos: http://www.youtube.com/user/pcharmingangel7 - Go ahead and watch the videos, you will love them!
