PART #1
Blood Clan Orcs
NOW RECRUITING
History
Bloodclan’s orgins are in OSI Ultima Online. Bloodclan’s roots start in earlier clans who called them selves’ orc clans. Some of these orc clans were Storm Reavers, Shadowclan, Kor of Pac and Bloodrock. These orc clans held a common vision for role playing in Ultima Online. The vision was to have real players role play by taking over the place of OSI Ultima Online’s computer generated orcs and to create a more challenging enemy for normal players. Ultima Online unlike later mmorpgs, only allowed the human race. So role playing an orc in Ultima Online was not supported by any in game race choosing option and relied purely on a player’s own imagination.
These early orc clans took the place of Ultima Online’s computer generated orcs by wearing only orc armor, using only orc weapons, speaking only orc language and creating a base and living area directly in the middle of a large purely computer generated orc spawn. The ultimate goal of these early orc clans was to appear identical to computer generated orcs yet provide a much more challenging and immersive fighting experience for normal players who came to kill the computer generated orcs.
Due to OSI Ultima Online later implementing many unpopular changes such as trammel in 2000, many Ultima Online players and early orc guilds gradually left OSI Ultima Online. The orc role play scene subsequently scattered and died out as a result of orc guilds leaving.
A new era followed OSI Ultima Online however where several felucca based free shards began. Among these were UO Gamers Hybrid, In Por Ylem, Abyss Reborn and Rebirth. UO Gamers Hybrid became the largest and longest lasting felucca based free shard among these. On UO Gamers Hybrid the most powerful orc guild to date would emerge known as Bloodclan. Bloodclan would carry on the torch of role playing an orc in Ultima Online without the support of any in game race choosing option by relying purely on a players own imagination.
Bloodclan was founded on UO Gamers Hybrid, in November 2003 by a collection of ex orc clan leaders who previously played OSI Ultima Online. These orc clans included Storm Reavers, Shadowclan, Kor of Pac Orcs and Bloodrock. On UO Gamers Hybrid Bloodclan was the sole hope of regenerating the old orc style role play previously experienced on OSI. Bloodclan regenerated the old style of orc role play by creating a new clan of people who would simulate the computer generated orcs of Ultima Online.
Bloodclan grew big on Hybrid and became the largest most dominant role play clan on the server. Bloodclan then expanded to Hybrids brother shard Divinity where Bloodclan again became one of the largest and most dominate role play clans. Today Bloodclan is the largest active UO style orc role play guild in the world and the biggest influence in the free UO server role play community.

Bloodclan has additional sub branches on Halo 2, World of Warcraft and Guild Wars. However Bloodclan’s main most active branches remain as UO Gamers Divinity and UO Gamers Hybrid.
Race
Bloodclan is proudly a pure orc guild. Bloodclan has role played as orcs for five solid years on Ultima Online free servers and is proud of the fact that we have role played orcs using purely our own imagination on Ultima Online where there is no race selection option for orcs.
Alignment and Allies
Bloodclan will have no alignment with any race, even orcs. Bloodclan views non role playing orcs as impure and weak. However Bloodclan is open to allying with selective role play clans of any race or combined races if the clans show their role play worth and fit in with our lore.
Play Style
Bloodclan is a pure role play guild. Bloodclan’s style of role play was developed in Ultima Online and differs from many other role play guilds for several reasons.
[1]
Bloodclan doesn’t avoid non role players but instead actively encourages non role players to interact with members of Bloodclan in the form of Bloodclan providing an intelligent monster to fight.
[2]
Bloodclan strongly believes in merging role play and pvp into one flowing experience that’s fun, unique, competitive, heavily group oriented and entertaining for non role players to fight against.
[3]
Bloodclan strongly believes in creating and sustaining it’s own role play environment without outside assistance of any kind.
Bloodclan members are expected to role play 100% of time no exceptions. Role play will consist of dressing like an orc, talking Bloodclan orc language, following a very strict militaristic chain of command and following all rules thereof. Bloodclan’s playing style encourages bonding among players and a strong sense of loyalty and camaraderie. Bloodclan most importantly encourages sacrifice of the individual for the benefit of the larger clan. Bloodclan’s members pride themselves on being aggressive cogs in an efficient killing machine.
Lore
Blooclan predominately worships the Bloodgod. However within Bloodclan there are warring tribes some of whom follow their own deities and tribal customs. These tribes include: Howlurz, Bluudskhulz, Peeratz, Blackrok and Spird Warriurz. Any Bloodclan orc can create their own tribe after meeting certain requirements.
Language
Bloodclan’s language is a combination of partial “Black Speech” and Bloodclan’s own self created vocabulary. However Bloodclan’s language is ever evolving and Bloodclan plans on dramatically deepening and expanding language for Darkfall.
Recruitment
Bloodclan is an open recruitment clan.
Anyone can join Bloodclan regardless of age, pvp experience, role play experience or gaming background. In fact many members joined Bloodclan with zero role play experience and came from a purely pvp background and have found the transition enjoyable, simple and not lacking in pvp at all. Equally Bloodclan has received many veteran role players who enjoy our lore and inner clan tribal system. However even though Bloodclan has open recruitment you will be expected to learn Bloodclan’s language, customs, rules and military structure. You will not be officially accepted into Bloodclan until you can present basic Bloodclan orc knowledge.
Rank Structure
Bloodclan has an extremely strict military style rank structure. A Bloodclan orc is expected to obey and execute orders without question. Refusal to follow orders results in a role play punishment (example: gather 50 pieces of leather). Further refusal may result in bigger punishments or demotion. A final punishment for repeat offenders who commit severe crimes will be expulsion from the clan. Note expulsion rarely happens.
Bloodclan’s rank structure is simple and has proven itself over five years with 300+ members. Bloodclan’s current structure starts with Pug as lowest and Elder as highest:
Melee Ranks
1. Pug
2. Gruntee
3. Grunt
4. Ward’r
5. See’r
6. War Boss
7. Elder
Magery Ranks
1. Bone Mender
2. Mojokii
3. Mojoka
4. Elder Mojoka
Leadership
Bloodclans top leadership is called War Council. The War Council is a selective group of eleven members who together vote on important issues.
Current Accomplishments
Bloodclan currently stands as the largest active UO style orc role play clan in the world. Bloodclan has 5 years of real game play history with proven a organizational system, leaders, lore, ranks and a track record of satisfied members who enjoyed our unique role play and pvp. Bloodclan additionally prides itself on being a currently active clan on the largest UO felucca based free shards in the world and having a large already currently active player base that will follow us to Darkfall.
Goals
Bloodclan’s goal for Darkfall is to carry on our tradition of providing a uniqe role play experience for members and a challenging enjoyable opponent for non role players. Bloodclan intends to create a full scale base of operations located in a high traffic area, which would encourages fighting. Bloodclan also expects Darkfall to be it’s largest gaming branch yet.
