Welcome to recent update of "Blast from the Past" thread. I first like to thank guys who posted information in this thread. Also i like to specially thank Jamie and Chrss for their help in keeping this thread updated.
I am starting a new section in this thread called "Oh No You Didn't" in which i put a quote from post from Top 12 alliance discussion thread.
Date:
04/19/2010
Rank 1: Semper Fidelis
Last month rank: Rank 7.
Location: Started as MRA, now mostly in O64/O74
Kings Blade and Flux merged to form grand MRA Semper Fidelis/Semer Fi/SF. They have distinct acclaim for being only top 12 alliance to be disbanded twice by spys. Their current leader Biscayne is trying hard to remove inactive and noobs and now it seems it can get rid of its MRA tag.
Rank 2: Serpentine Medea
Last month rank: Rank 2.
Location: They were based on O46 and O45 (partial).
One of few elite alliance since early days of this server. They lost many good player due to inactivity and morale system, but stayed on top due to selective recruiting and merger. Force Recon merged into them and then few members of Hephaestuses Rage also merged. They recently merged in Grepohugs.
Rank 3: SWAT
Last month rank: Rank 1.
Location: MRA, they are everywhere. Highest density in O43/O44/O53.
Bjamer and 8kin formed SWAT. No more information about them. If SWAT leader is reading this, please take part in discussion and enlighten us about your history.
Rank 4: The Illuminati
Last month rank: Rank 3.
Location:Always located in O56/O66.
Illuminati formed after disbanding of Condemnd by its founder KarmaKaze. They followed it by partial merger of Piraeus and Cynocephaly into Illuminati. They are the one of the few alliance who were in top 12 from the start (first Condemned and then Illuminati). Others who were in top 12 since beginning are SM and GH.
Rank 5: GrepoHugs
Last month rank: Rank 6.
Location: Not sure where they started but after merger I hate sandcastle are spread in O34/O44/O54/O55.
Similar to Serpentine Medea they survived inactivity and Morale system by smart recruitment form Najgul/Revenge of Najgul/Killer Bunnies. (I am sure they recruit from other alliance also, so any other information will be much appreciated). They further get boost of life by merger of Serpentine Medea into them. Recently eclipse quit and took name with him. They change name to Nameless for short period of time and now they are called I Hate SandCastle. They are fighting against CJ and loosing players and war. Their elite status, greatness and low recruiting standard is being questioned.
Rank 6: 420s
Last month rank: Rank 5.
Location: Do not know where they started but now spread out. Highest density in O53/O57/O63/O64/O74
One of three MRA longest lasting MRA (along with SWAT and semper fi). They have one top 10 player (ggc1) and few other good one. Trying hard to get rid of MRA tag.
Rank 7: Achean League
Last month rank: Rank 9.
Location:
Demon Law Breakers disbanded and formed Achaean League. In time Achaean League also disbanded and better player from them formed Orion elite. Later on Orion Elite merged to Nightmare of Elysium along with The Vigilante Pirates to form Fusion. Remaining player of Achaean League merged with Sands of Time to form Orion. Orion and Akkadian Empire then merged to form Sentinels of Valhalla.
Rank 8: Revenge of Nazgul
Last month rank: Rank 11.
Location: (Started in O54, only few left in that ocean, now mostly located in O63 and few are in O62, O73, O74 and O52)
Nightshroud formed Nazgul during early days of Gamma. They were dominant in O54 and had few skirmish with GH. When Nightshroud become active, one of his friend disbanded Nazgul. Remaining players formed Revenge of Nazgul lead by Erilandur. After a month or two Erilandur took best player from Revenge of Nazgul and merged to GH and remaining player formed Killer Bunnies. They recruited few good player from Adrastos and Semper Fi. They fought with Adrastos and cleared them from O63 and recently won against War Path.
Rank 9: Sands of Time
Last month rank: Not Ranked.
Location:
One of the first MRA. Based on my research they went on to form Orion after partial merger from Achean League's remaining player. Later on Orion and Akkadian Empire merged to form Sentinels of Valhalla.
Rank 10: Justice
Last month rank: Not ranked.
Location:
No information about their history. They were fighting with LoE and DU and finally disbanded. Few of elite players formed Dark Angels and Anarchy Collective.
Rank 11: Carpe Jugulum
Last month rank: Not ranked.
Location:O53/O43/O33/O34/O35
Hey TigerBear, BlueJay or PrinceSilk, can you please provide some information about your alliance
Rank 12: Hephaestuses Rage
Last month rank: Rank 12.
Location:
Hephaestuses Rage merged to SM. If someone have any other information about them please reply in this thread.
