Bad Blood is a Gaming Community that has been around for about 2 years. Some of its members go back way before Bad Blood was formed.

As a community, our only goal is to have fun and stick together. If a member is passionate enough about a certain game, they can appeal to the community to give it a go. If they sell the game well enough, the whole community packs up their things and moves to the game. Of course, there has to be a very large majority in favour for us to move.

Bad Blood is always willing to try new things, though we are always willing to admit that we've made a mistake, and move back to a game that we've left behind. Usually to cries of "I told you so" or "Why do we bother? We always end up back here lol". The fact is, we bother because we can, because we like to broaden our horizions and because we're always looking for a new adventure.

If you would like to join Bad Blood, please find our forums section and apply there. If you get on with the community, you'll never be short of fun again. We're up for a laugh, and love to find new tricks and ways of doing things more efficiently. At one point we were able to get a character from 1-50, fully templated and out in RVR within 13 hours on Dark Age of Camelot.

We have also played Counter-Strike:Source since early on, no matter what MMO we are currently playing, when the grind gets too much, there's nothing better than shooting Mike in the face. Try it, you'll see what I mean.

Bad Blood was first coined in late 2005 when a group of 8 friends left a Dark Age of Camelot guild on the European Classic server called The Muppets for pastures new.

Bad Blood survived for about a month on the Classic server. A new patch was released which proved to be too much of an opportunity to miss. Mythic had decided to make Trials of Atlantis easier. So, as a guild, we packed up our things, and went back to our old servers. Powerleveling the folks that needed it along the way. Before long, we were folks down. Ken, Kiera and Gromril went missing. It was decided that Bad Blood would join forces with the larger Sarumans Hand. Which was a guild containing members of an old guild some of the Bad Blood folks were in.

Bad Blood thrived in Sarumans Hand on the European servers. Unfortunately, the European servers were not thriving. It was decided that Sarumans Hand would pack up their troubles and move them over the pond to the US Servers. After a brief stint on WoW, we followed suit.

After about 2 weeks on US, a few of our members came to blows with some of the Sarumans Hand members, and it was decided that it'd be best to go our separate ways. Before long Bad Blood was thriving once more, as a guild on Mid/Kay.

After a few weeks, various members missed their Albion toons that we'd left behind on European Classic. We decided to give Alb/Lance a go. Before long we were level 50, with a decent sized guild, running the odd guild group and had an alliance. Though the state of the server again let us down. Lancelot was too zergy. We decided to find a new home.

After a brief stint on Mordred (the US PVP server), where we met Andy, we decided to give Vanguard a go. Vanguard was a new and interesting game, from Sony. For a few weeks it entertained us, though became rapidly repetitive and was clearly going to be too much like hard work for us. The game was just far too slow!

Bad Blood left Vanguard for DAoC once more, this time we decided to try our luck with Morgan Le Fay, a lower population server on a lower population cluster. We opted for Hibernia, hell, we'd tried everything else. Unfortunately we left Anders behind in the process. But those that did follow found fun. In a little under a month our first characters were level 50, templated and RR5. We thrived on Morgan Le Fay and only left for WAR!

You can now find Bad Blood on Karag Orrud on Order!

This section is reserved for our past members. We salute you, may you rest in peace.

Divided We Stand, United We Fall. We were never really any good at RVR :/

Ken - Kendaris/Malice - MIA
Ken was the Daddio of The Muppets, he came with us to Bad Blood and one day, he went missing. Feared dead until March 2007, Ken now spends his time playing Battlefield 2 and there is a suggestion that he's into basket weaving in a big way. He's a strange'un.

Andy - Gromril - MIA
Andy was a founding member of Bad Blood, and went walkies one day out of the blue. Being a farmer we do fear that he was lost to a combine harvester on his way to the lower paddock. We shall avenge you.

Connor - Blackspirits - MIA
Connor was last seen planting a root potato crop in the sunny fields of Ireland. We shall miss you sire! :(

Kiera - Kiera - MIA
Kiera, or "the wee scottish lass" was the love of Ken's life. We think this had something to do with both of their disapperances at around the same time. Strange? Mmmmm. Dirty old git, she was about 20 years younger than him!

Rich - Igneous - MIA
Rich put up with a lot of shit over the time he was in Bad Blood. But turning his back on Mid was too much for him. When Bad Blood left for Albion, Rich decided not to follow and currently resides in Sarumans Hand.

Andy - Boviine - Midgard with Sarumans Hand
Andy was first recruited to Sarumans Hand by Whoodoo, though after many a late night PL session, become close to the Bad Blood lads. A week or so after the split occurred, Andy decided to slum it with Bad Blood, though when Bad Blood left for Alb, he opted to stay with Sarumans Hand on Midgard.

Espen - Thomp - MIA
Espen really made people laugh. His laugh was deep, and evil. Not everybody got on with Espen, and so after a while we all went our separate ways. Though Espen left behind a legacy of good memories. "WHO THE FUCK PULLED THIS?!"

Dan - Letara - Eurowhore
Dan followed Bad Blood when they split from Sarumans Hand. Since then he's played with us on Alb and PVP. Unfortunately Dan decided to turn his back on DAoC/US and returned to DAoC/Euro, where, from template requests, we assume he is playing a druid.

Dan - Gilade - Mordred
We found Dan on Mordred, we left Dan on Mordred. Having only played Mordred 2 weeks, we never really got to know the guy that well. Although some members still keep in contact with him.

Dave - Various Morgan le Fay/Hib toons - MIA
Dave was a navy boy, which helped both him and Andy settle in quite nicely. Unfortunately in recent weeks Dave has been somewhat absent. If and when he returns, he will take his place on the active members list with everybody else.

Bad Blood have played together on an assortment of games for quite some time. Our roots are in Dark Age of Camelot, though since then we have ventured into WoW, Archlord, Vanguard: Saga Of Heroes and of course Counter-Strike Source.

Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning

WAR is an MMO based on Games Workshops Warhammer boardgame and was developed by Mythic (Creators of DAOC). The game appears to be pretty good so far, only complaints are its instabilty!

Dark Age of Camelot

Dark Age of camelot is a MMORPG set in... well.. the Dark Ages. It's got a great balance of PVE and PVP. DAoC PVP comes in two forms. Bog standard PVP, on specific ruleset servers and the more common Realm vs Realm. RVR is basically a large scale on going three way war. Between the realms of Albion, Hibernia and Midgard. It's a very complex game, containing crafting, questing standard grind and ofcourse PVP. There are different ruleset servers, such as PVP, Classic(No TOA) and Roleplay servers. DAoC is where Bad Blood was made, it will always have a place on our hard drives.

Counter-Strike:Source

CS:S is a source mod availiable on Steam. CS:S is the same concept as the origional Counter-Stike, though has been implemented on the source engine. Meaning better graphics and physics. The game in essence is still the same. Basic scenarios, terrorists have to plant a bomb or hold people hostage, counter terrorists have to save the day. Bad Blood have played CS:S and a modification of CS:S known as Gun Game. Gun Game is a standard deathmatch environment, where there is no scenario other than to kill the opposite team. Each kill you get, you progress to a better gun. This climaxes in a grenade level and then a knife level. It's really good fun, especially with friends.

Vanguard: Saga of Heroes

Vanguard is an MMORPG set in a fictional world. The game is good vs evil, and there are PVE and PVP servers. Whilst there are many quests, and the game as a whole is a cross between DAoC and WoW, it is just far too slow to get anywhere. After two weeks we'd only managed level 15, and it was getting progressively slower. Although this game had great potential, with great concepts and really interesting classes, it proved to be far too much of a grind to get stuck into. This is always a problem with a new game, because there's nothing worse than getting to max level, it having taken ages, only to find that your class sucks, or you hate the gameplay of it and would prefer a different character. Bad Blood likes its variety!

Archlord

Archlord is an MMORPG that, well, to be honest with you... sucks big time. After only a month of the game going live they realised that people wouldn't pay monthly for that crap, and made it free to play. In Bad Bloods opinion there just wasn't enough skill involved in the game. Winning a fight vs another player depended entirely on how many heal pots you had in your backpack. If you had more than your enemy, you won. If you ran out, curtains I'm afraid. Fact is, the game was new, slow, lacked healing classes, and the ability to be certain sexes for certain races. It was depressing to play, and long before beta ended, we couldn't be seen for dust!

World of Warcraft

Bad Blood played WoW briefly, after a month most members missed DAoC and realised that the game seriously lacked something. There's no point in writing a review of such a huge game. Fact is, if you're interested in games, you'll know all about it, and if you're not. What the fuck are you doing on this site? Foo'!. We didn't get on with the game. Fin.
