once upon a time we had something that was perfectly magical <3

If I remember correctly, XK tried to x-team "light" by only recruiting cat bards. Raid targets became very difficult to kill without resist songs and bard mana regen, but it was still a hard pill to swallow for the proud dark races of VZ. X-teaming was a huge stigma back then.

When that failed, they merged with Fated into Aduentus and were shunned for a short while until Defiant and AO/ED followed.

Ebon Dawn was the last big darkie raiding guild for some time, until they merged with Ancient Orden to Ancient Dawn and eventually battled for the topdog throne with Defiant for a few expansions. Not sure if either side won before the Zek merge killed the community -- and with it the server.

One other darkie guild emerged quite a while after Ancient Dawn had formed. I can't remember the name. They were pretty successfull in their own way, but with each expansion x-teaming moved further from much needed convenience to absolute necessity, so they never really had a chance.

This was a very long time ago, so I'm not 100% sure about it.
