Brief History

LotD was founded in 1995 and has dominated multiple MMORPG's over the years. The guild is a mixture of quality hardcore and casual killers whom we have retained over the past 13 years. Lords of the Dead has garnered respect for their successful history of PvP in every game we've played.

Darksun Online:
Founded the guild in DSO, and rose to prominence as the premier PVP guild until 1997. Lord Hades was the #1 single combat champion and was still in the top 5 two years after LotD left the game.

Ultima Online:
LotD played on the Baja Server and was a founding member of the Player Killer Circle (PKC).  Ultimately the PKC won the Anti vs PK wars, and LotD moved on to other games. Hades Hall of Warfare on the Stratics network served as a central focus for the Warhall PVP portion of the site, and LotD served as a PVP representative to the UO Devs during the two and a half years LotD played UO.

Asheron's Call: 
LotD made a brief stop in Asheron's Call while waiting for Shadowbane.  Shadowbane got delayed, so Lrd Hades and some LotD ended up building a monarchy with close to 1,700 followers until he departed in 2001.

Everquest:
LotD gamed with Sinister and others in the Dark Coalition on the Sullon Zek PVP server. The Dark Coalition was the #3 ranked group on the server during the time it played.

Dark Age of Camelot
LotD has been a Top 10 Faction / Top 20 Server guild on the Merlin server, and later a top 50 Guild on the classic server (Gareth).

Shadowbane
LotD created the nation that crushed the most infamous nation in Shadowbane History (Rolling 30's) on the Scorn Server.

Star Wars Galaxies
We founded, defended, and controlled the first PVP city on the Flurry Server.

Guild Wars
We were a top 10, 20, and 40 guild throughout Beta and Retail. LotD returned in 2007 for about six months, and got back into the top 100 before moving on to another game.

City of Villains
We were nominated as the 2006 PVP guild of the year, and ranked by the player community as one of the top 5 arena guilds across the entire game.

World of Warcraft
LotD was the #8 Alliance guild on the Mug'Thol server prior to the 2.4 sunwell patch. In U.S. rankings LotD was a casual raiding guild, but still managed to rank in the top 5% of all U.S. guilds.

Fury
In retail LotD was always in the Top 5 of rated guilds across all warzones, and took the #1 spots overall and in Elimination on several occassions. LotD also had several people rank in the top 30 for individual ladders consistently while the game still had a healthy population.  On the Fury Challenge event, LotD ranked in the Top 10.

Age of Conan
LotD rose to power at the dominant PvP guild on the Deathwhisper server, won AOC's world's first siege, and completed the server's first full tier 3 guild city.

Recruitment Rundown

We are primarily a PvP Guild, and as such PvP is the main focus of our activities. However, there is room for more casual players and PvE oriented players who will find opportunities to contribute to the guild. Examples of such participation could be leading quest groups, organizing events, aiding levelers, and participating in other non-PVP aspects of the game. A burning passion for PvP is not required, but a bit of a taste for PvP is suggested.

The character of our members is important to us. Our ideal candidates are mature players who can be part of a strong community. We have no desire for drama or trolls. We set our standards high and hold everyone in our guild to them.

We are looking for players who will be active. We respect that our members have personal lives and their time is precious. We are looking for players who can commit at least 10 hours/week most of the time. We will schedule various PvP, PvE, and other game related events each week. Attendance to all these events is not mandatory, but participation in such Guild events is a big part of being in LotD.

Voice Chat

We use and require Ventrillo version 3, a free VoIP program.
We have a 150 slot Ventrillo server for general guild use.
