World War One is Officially Over… and we won! Hyperion was the largest and most powerful alliance when Darkfall launched as they had been forming for 6+ years prior to release. Within 2 months, AC/TC and the Coalition of the Chilling completely destroyed and dismantled Hyperion, causing massive death in game and even more QQs on the forums.

With the war being over, the coalition will move from a “bloated zerg” to a more streamlined CC 2.0 — we dont need to be huge as fuck if we’re not actively engaged in world war. This means that we will be seeing less green names in the field and more enemies that we get to kill which hopefully is what everyone wants. We’ve already cut several guilds(United Front, Head Hunters, Insania, Fraggle Rock, Empyreans, etc..) and expect more to go in the following days. This doesnt mean we’re completely disbanding, in fact we always consider bringing on new clans as long as they’re active, organize, and PVP centric (PKRL for example).
So congrats on a job well done in winning the war — even if we lose Mar Shral, we’ll always be known as the guild that won DF’s first world war
I have been keeping up with the Paragus Rants blog and I just wanted to say you are a pimp.
I almost purchased DF after reading your post under the Alliance Leaders Interviews. I first read Man Anus’ post and immediately thought: douchebag! Then I read your post I thought, “damn”, lol!
I showed that post to a bunch of my friends that play MMOs and they all laughed their asses off; and they had the same reaction – join the coalition and rape Man Anus.
I wanted to give you a congratulations after beating down the main douchebag of DF. If I ever decide to start playing, you will be the first person I talk to.
DF reminds me a lot of Star Wars Galaxies (pre-CU, pre-NGE) – did you ever play that?
Yesterday’s patch was very large, and there were some things about it needing correction. We are currently applying a new patch, during our daily maintenance, which does the following:
Tooltip on spells will now always show even if you have the hotbar on the right side of the screen
Some spells would skill up when using Conscript (Starter) Weapons. This has been fixed.
Launch in Lesser Magic will now skill up when used
Bone was incorrectly selling for 2 gold from the Arcanist (less than the open market). It’s now selling at 4 gold
A problem some players had with selecting a starting town in the character creator has been fixed
Volcano buy requirements have been adjusted
There were also some concerns regarding password security while logging into the external web interface. These are unfounded as a challenge-response mechanism is used for authentication and your password is never transmitted.
Recently there has been talk and rumors about Hyperion being dead, disbanded, and done with. This is far from the truth. Every ventrilo conversation, every forum post, and every in-game chat is seen, monitored, and evaluated by members of the KGB GSS as well as Section 50. Through combined talks, we have decided it is time to reveal previously classified information in hopes that the general public will no longer be blinded by Manus and more importantly the puppet masters of Hyperion.
Manus may be gone, but Hyperion is not. Alliances remain, and plans are in the works for them to re-form in to an even stronger clan and continue their goal of domination without Manus and without Duchy proper. Hyperion is attempting to reform without the tainted name of Wessex and Manus, which you can gather from the secret Ventrilo meeting that I will supply.
The screenshots and recordings below are a mere fraction of the information gathered. It’s not possible for me to share the vast amount of real-time intelligence we gathered during sieges and other crucial in-game moments. I hope that you will find these entertaining, comical, and most of all truthful. Truthful about how backstabbing and tyrannical Manus and his regime truly are.
The effectiveness of Section 50 and KGB GSS spies have been astounding. Forumfall has in the past doubted their legitimacy and even their existence. I can assure you this is far from the truth. I understand that at times the humorous posts of Francois and Zarithas may not boost their ethos, but credit is certainly due.
The following posts and Ventrilo conversation has been released by the KGB GSS for public viewing:
Personal PMs are not able to be shared in order to protect those who supplied us with them.
Here is the most recent Ventrilo meeting to discuss the future of the ex-Hyperion guilds and their plans to reform. To view it, do the following:
- Open Ventrilo
- Right click the channel you are in
- Select View -> Record/Playback
- Click “Open” and navigate to the saved file location
- Hit play
These posts will not come often, and they will not release information that is crucial or time sensitive. All posts will remain anonymous. I feel after a few months of Darkfall, and the all-but departure of Mannus, it is appropriate and safe to release a sample of some of the various intel we have gathered. KGB GSS and Section 50 will continue to keep our eyes open and see to it that Hyperion is completely dismantled, not just fake neutral standings in-game towards each other.
Hyperion would NEVER resort to desperate metagaming in order to win Darkfall? Wrong! This guy has no problem abusing his government job in order to pursue petty personal vendettas. http://www.vulomedia.com/images/49254huntyoudownIRL.jpg
So what exactly is this crazy man’s government job? He’s in charge of nuclear ICBM’s, given his propensity towards retaliating against his e-enemies IRL, I think we can safely blame him if Baltimore is mysteriously destroyed in the near future. http://www.vulomedia.com/images/53474nukes.jpg
I’m sure we’ve all seen that cute little “surrender” post that King (m)Anus made on the Darkfall Online forums yesterday… done laughing yet? What kind of fool does he think I am? Does he think that if you’re at war with several different groups that surrendering to one of them means all of them accept your terms? While he may have tried to save some face by surrendering to “Death”, the rest of the major alliances who stood up to Hyperion’s aggression have no interest in accepting this surrender and we pledge to finish the job.
However, out of respect for the Death alliance and mainly LoD, I have decided to flex my diplomatic muscle as well. Here’s the terms of surrender that I agreed to with Obs-LoD last night:
Hyperion will lose all of their assets on the mainland of Agon except 1 city
The 1 city they will be allowed to keep is Longmarch
Yssam Coalition will be left alone (you guys got lucky)
Those guilds who left Hyperion after the deadline to quit Hyperion had expired will still lose their cities
The overwhelming majority of the remaining cities/hamlets to be taken from Hyperion will be put up for public auction on the DFO forums so that smaller/regional alliances have a chance to become land owners
Now I know many of you are upset with these terms as we’d all love to see Longmarch burned to the fucking ground and these Imperialistic roleplaying tax-mongers forced to bind at chaos stones and newbie cities. However Obs-LoD felt very very strongly about letting Hyperion retain one city on the mainland in order to “save their alliance” and “show mercy.” I balked at this first but eventually decided to agree to let them have Longmarch because it will always be a nearby spot to raid and I’m sure one of the regional alliances nearby will eventually take it anyway (sup KFC… want to be heros?).
No one wants Hyperion to quit the game, not even me — I want this game to have as many players as possible and while a good number of Hyperion clans will still be losing their cities, maybe giving them Longmarch helps keep a couple hundred more roleplayer going out to cut trees giving us more targets to PK
In the end, Hyperion is on the verge of defeat and will last maybe one or two more weeks before theyre finally eradicated(although it may be longer as the remaining Hyperion forces have appeared to reorganize with the entire Yssam Co). Mannus’ claims of acheiving any sort of success are BS… he claimed 37 clanstones because he prepared for this game 6+ years in advance and had a 3000 man army at launch. In reality though, King Mannus and his Hyperion empire that took 6 years to build was destroyed by in under 2 months… not bad for a pothead and his loyal band of UO faggots
So to those in Longmarch, good luck with the rest of the game and to those who are in cities denoted by a yellow dot on the post below, see ya soon – nothing but more good fights ahead
Knowing karate didnt help the Japs either… How does defeat taste Mannus?
It’s truly funny to see the cowardice that Hyperion has displayed in World War I, isn’t it? First they siege their own cities in a futile attempt at preventing the first battle of WWI to start(they still lost 1 city and 3 hamlets that day). Then this weekend after being annihilated in Darkfall’s greatest large scale combat operations to date, Hyperion continued to show us their gutlessness by attempting to “leave Hyperion” in order to save their cities. People may call me the DF Hitler but this Hyperion tactic is the same one the Nazis used when they fled to Brazil to avoid being tried for their war crimes — you cant try to exterminate a race(Yssam) and get away with it…
Hahaha Nice Try Tempest, Bloodfest, SSR but youre fucked.
The above picture shows the state of the Hyperion alliance at the time the 72hour offer for Hyperion and Yssam Coalition(Hyperion Jr) guilds to defect expired. These guilds at this point chose to stay on board the Hyperion alliance declaring their loyalty to King Mannus thus forever sealing their fate. Any attempts to leave Hyperion since then(especially after this weekends hijacking of 3 Hyperion cities) will only be recognized as signs of cowardice and will not spare you your fate. You guys are going to learn a lesson and be an example for every future guild alliance on this shard, you might as well man up and go down fighting…
CC vs. Hyperion(and The Mercs)
The CC sieged The Hundred’s city this weekend… and of course we took it. Hyperion tried their best(lol) to beat us, even spending 100k on The Mercs but in an evenly matched battle at the Terrible Company hamlet, CC forces defeated The Mercs + Hyperion twice and won the siege, conquering Andruk:
Why does Hyperion keep hiring The Mercs to fail? Sad…
I’m not an MMO King who wants to run a fantasy-land empire to satiate my desire to LARP 24×7 — I’m a PVPer who grew up on saved by the bell, 2 liters of coke, and making people rage in UO. I have no place for roleplayers and non-PVPers in my guild and I have no place for roleplayers and non-PVPers in the Coalition of the Chillin(CC).
If for whatever reason you find yourself in a CC guild and you realize that you’re not a PVPer you should quit and save yourself the embarrassment of being kicked out of the CC and having it youtubed for everyone to see:
Skip to the 1:40 mark if you want to just see me rape some guy out of the CC
Bundles of Sticks = Censorship
Why does the DFO forums allow members of Hyperion to “troll” as hard as they want in their desperate attempts to save their doomed cities, yet I get banned for 10 days for admitting that I am a huge faggot. If you guys cant hire forum mods that will be unbiased then its time to find some new ones…
Well are new school director wants to save money and “To seek maximize the potential of all of our students” witch is a load of bullshit. Its all about the money and thats about it. Anyhows about 1-2 mouths ago teachers got the papper witch was not supost to be shown to the kids but i got my hand on it since my one teacher is cool. Anyways i dont know if you know but we have block Scheduling witch means we have 4 periods a day that run 1 hour and a hafe and we split the year up into 2 semesters for different classes and lunch is built in that 4 period day. It makes the days faster and eaiser to foccos on one subject. So when i got ahold of this information it tryed to spred the infromation about this new change that no one was told about to everone, all the other teachers were geting pissed at me and were saying “were u hear that” “how u know that?” i just tell them im magic, haha! Anyway they just told everyone about it yesterday. Our new school director knows were under money and shes trying her sllezey way to get out of it saying its gonna benfit us to have 7 up to 8 periods a day when it just relely saves them money. The school wants to do 7 periods a day a optional 8th period for people who want it. Classes will be 50 mins long with 25 min lunch’s. As well u can start at 7 and get out at 2 or start at 8 and get out at 3 But there is a catch if u do the 7-2 one u need to get ur own tranpertation witch is a load of shit. Thank god i live in town and can get There by my bike or a ride from my mom. What can i do what should i do i have no clue i don’t want that bullshit.
-That Hyperion has been mass recruiting for their roleplaying zerg since 2002.
-Nine Eleven
-That while Hyperion has been taking many losses(both in game and politically) to the CotC, they still hold more assets than any other alliance
-That just because it feels like it will be fart, doesn’t mean it will be just a fart
-That if they were allowed to remain in their current state, Hyperion would simply try to re-zerg the server once the CC leaves for NA-1
-That pretzels are bad as shit for you, even though they seem like a healthier alternative to potato chips
-That both King Mannus refuses to duel me… then again, so does Osium Woof, leader of The Mercs
Let’s be honest, I’ve been a man of my word thus far and have already proven many of my doubters/haters wrong about me. I will continue to prove these naysayers wrong when I reduce CC holdings/size big time upon the true defeat of Hyperion… failure to do so would be dooming myself to the same fate that now awaits King Mannus, a server wide death.
Anything but pushing Hyperion completely off the mainland is asking for another 9-11 when NA-1 comes out
Cya Mannus
I can finally start playing this game and PKing
