A new legit Guild / Union [BlackHand]

The purpose of this thread it to gather info on how many guildless legits are on venus who would love to join a very old and respected legit guild from xian.

SuicideGrl, The admin here on srf, is on the fence about coming to venus or not. This thread is to see about how much hype/potential there is for a new legit union lead by one of the best and oldest legit guild from xian.

Venus had a 2nd legit union led by Odyssey. Concern for a fair chance at the fortress and lack of members led to that union merging into Avalon. I want to make it clear that if a new 2nd legit union forms, AVALON WILL SHARE THE FORTRESS! We are more then willing to let new legits have a hand at running the fortress. Fortress war is something all legits should be able to experience, not just fully farmed botters like on other servers.

[BlackHand] is one of the oldest and most well-respected 100% legitimate guilds on Xian server. We are the lead guild in a full union of strong, like-minded people who stand for respect, honor, and loyalty. We are a lvl 5 guild with an active roster and a diverse player base. We have an active and friendly union with players in many different countries and time zones.

If you:

* speak English fluently,
* love teamwork and enjoy having a good time with your fellow guild members,
* are, and have always been, 100% bot/hack/3rd party software free,
* are loyal, honorable, and dependable, and
* highly active and driven to become stronger,


then BlackHand may be the place you can call home.

BlackHand recruits the player, not the character, so we don't discriminate on basis of lvl or build, though characters of lvl 42+ are preferred. What's important is trust, character, maturity, and the ability to have a good time :)

For more info, please visit the BlackHand Alliance's home forum at SilkroadSource.com and PM me either there or here. Make sure to include your IGN and basic character info, as well as what time zone you play in. Happy hunting!!



My personal experience with BlackHand:

During the 60 cap we got off badly. Professional was leading the guild and he was too much like me. stubborn and smart. This lead to a pretty long term war which lasted into the 70 cap. Once Sui took control we worked out our differences for a while. Sometime mid 70 cap BlackHand has a large increase of high level members. This led to another large scale war which ended late 70 cap. All thou the war Sui led his guild with honor and respect. After the war came the 80 cap and tons of players on xian turned to botting. BlackHand is the LAST legit guild on xian.

I have been both an enemy and a friend of BlackHand. If sui was to come to venus, I expect BlackHand to rival Avalon, in both power and reputation, in a matter of weeks.


Soooo.... If you wish to give your support to this guild, post here. The more posts, the better the chance of this great guild coming to venus. If we can get a good legit member base formed, it will prove to those on xian that venus is serious about not only being a legit server, but being a server for ALL legits, not only those in Avalon/Union.

My understanding is that eventually, each city is going to have its own fortress to defend. Lord only knows the timing on this but getting a second legit union up and running on Venus would be critical to own both fortresses. I'd hate to see the other fortress fall into the hands of the few botters left there just because there wasn't a strong 2nd legit union.

If my experience means anything, I'm having a great time on Venus. I was guildless until last night so I can't personally participate, but there are new legits coming in every day so I would say to give it a shot.

this would also mean 7 more union stops for legit unions. i know alot of legit guilds are being left out atm because no union space for them in avalon.

if you are in a legit guild and need a union, post here and see what kind of union may form as a result.

I totally aggree with Fly. A second union will bring more fun to the server. And we need more legits to come so we can have more legits than botters.

May start over on Venus but I currently have premium time on Xian and can't afford 2 premiums at the same time so log in is not looking pretty for me.

The login rights for a PT are for the account, not the char. All the other bonuses (5% alchemy, etc) are for the char. If you create a Venus char on the same account, you'll have login privileges even if the PT was activated on a Xian char.

nope. it used to be that way but joymax changed it. the log in only works for the server the char with perm is on.

I will absolutely reconsider to come back to sro if Blackhand moves over to Venus. You peeps in Avalon have done a great job with the server and it would be fun to be part of a hopefully even more growing legit community over there. :)

I would love to see BH and SD back together like the old days on xian. 2 guilds with a perfect legit past in alliance. Convince MaliceArmy from odin and you will have the old BHA intact :D


edit: OMG, i need to go email MasterWong. I luv that guy and this may bring him back to SRO!

I doubt my opinion counts, but I think I'd far rather be in Blackhand / Avalon than DeathStance, considering GodsForce recently stated that legits are weak. Moving there might prove him wrong. My 2 cents.

awesome. I think from both ingame hype and forum promises we have enough people to fill a level 3 guild up. Depending on how many come from xian we are looking at a strong and active guild in no time.

There union looks promising also. :D

If your new char is Euro, it will outlevel your old char in weeks! If it is a Chinese, I will help in any way i can. Money, gear, ect.

I have had people tell me that they spend half a year on another server to reach 50, and it only took them 1 month to get 60 on venus in a well formed party. Being in a very active legit guild helps alot.

But it is original discussion. Rev likes Avalon--he's in it. I like Avalon---I was in it when I was in Venus. So I for one think it's a good idea. Naturally, it's your decision.

I'm a legit on Venus. I don't have a premium which sucks, but I play as often as I can. Server traffic is a real pain in the ass.
But I was hoping to join any legit guild on the server. I dont care which one... Just any one that will accept me. Lvl 32 China Nuker...

In game name Lynnyn. Please leave messages :P Thanks
