The Dark Born (Old Thread)

The Dark Born represents elements of the Dark Caste from Clan society, who are associated as nefarious characters from multiple origins. Normally represented as bandits within the Clan worlds they also have mercantile and other associations deep within its Dark recesses. Please note however that this unique kind of game play will be treated with some maturity and that respect to other pilots in MWO will be expected. So other than reasonable RP elements presented as part of the role to make the experience more enjoyable, any personal disrespect to other players or units outside of this context will not be tolerated.

The Dark Born community then represents both lone wolves and pilots interested in playing in more team work orientated game play like 12 man competitions though the focus of the game play will be orientated towards Community Warfare where the use of either lone wolf or Mercenary aspects as a Merc unit to cover all the appropriate game play options.

This recognising a complete spectrum of player interests from casuals to more competitive as well as veterans or newer players. The Dark Born is then both an idealised Merc Corp and a site for individual lone wolf players who want to play this game with a more "criminal" perspective as part of Clan society. With PGI limiting gameplay options (at the moment) for CW however the Dark Born will initially be representing itself in CW as a Clan Loyalist faction in order to associate the use of Clan Tech.

The community has both a forum site and TS3 Server with various tools and links to other community sites to give a comprehensive guidance to playing MWO in the Dark Caste. This includes training aspects and guides that are being incorporated to help pilots in their various team games with an appropriate command structure known as "The Silk" to also help guide these interests. In addition new features have been and are being developed as alternative trial systems different from Clan Zellbringen that helps personify the interests of this group better.

Diplomatic interests with other groups are also being established to help provide gameplay opportunities and further social interests as the Dark Born group develops. This also identifies with the idea of respectfully keeping player and RP interests seperate despite obvious canon associations with the Clans. As such we are representative as part of the Clan society and their community interests being included in the Clan community forums etc.

The Dark Born site can be found here: http://mwodarkborn.enjin.com which includes the TS3 server details for use. So even if you want to join as a visitor or lone wolf before considering committing to joining more organised elements of the unit feel free to come and check us out.

Come to the Dark Side, we have cookies, and bacon doughnuts dipped in JD.

USPs of the Dark Born:

A two branched pathway with its structure, "The silk", that accommodates both the casual player and more organised team play as per pilot preferences.
Clan tech accommodated. Future Bandit status hopefully to be considered by PGI.
Alternative Clan trial system that incorporates more social considerations more relevant to the Dark Caste.
Orientation programme being currently tested to help prepare and train pilots for the Dark Born life. Both Veterans and newer players alike.
Future further specialised training as ongoing content.
Codex (Pilot statistics and analysis tools) incorporated to aid piloting awareness.
RIG Tool (Battlemech analysis system) incorporating the Codex above to allow for applied pilot comparison of mech builds to look at pilot potential in various mech chassis.

Consider the Dark Side, we have more than just cookies, and if your not having fun, well that's just criminal.

Also if reading this as a member of your unit's leadership or as a diplomat please review the following Operational services brochure which describes ways in which the Dark Born may be able to help your unit.

Governor Noesis
