Sound Familiar?

@SS: That was my point when we discussed on Sunday evening. I'm 100% for contact with those guilds. "Keep allies close and your ennemies even closer!"

Just seen this up on the HoD recruitment thread:

It has come to our attention that a couple of guilds are masquerading as the Hands of Darkness, going so far as too even copy our mission statement.

Neither of these guilds are related to the original and true Hands of Darkness.

If you want feel free to show your support here:

Wow!! Just wow!

Why would they even do that? Sure it's a great name, but why not just join the guild if you like it so much?
Has to be said though, I'm a bit jealous that they actually have people who will willingly carbon copy them.

No EPOCH clone? :'( We're not famous and awesome enough?

EPOCH should be quite safe. + most of the guilds that are spawning have population = 1 (leader). Created in the flood of Pax hype, they sparkle and will disappear as soon as appeared.

You have to get Idea+People+Game+Time+Atmosphere+Dedication to create decent guild. 3/4 of those groups will end on the first one. It's funny to see all those one-man Army of Phenix, Black Cohort or whatever. Waiting for the game will be first test for them, then game launch, to see AM I SURE I WANT TO PLAY ON THIS SIDE WITH THIS CHARACTER AS MAIN?

So, in words of Ray Charles: I don't see a problem

Nah, we're just too secret

Ok remember who first mentioned the words "Agents of...."

Now stick that in the Guild Search....

"Hands of" = 12

"Agents of" = 17

Now It's just getting childish.

LOL!

To be fair though, you can do a lot with "Agents of" without even touching E.P.O.C.H. For example, "Agents of the Republic", "Agents of Sorrow", "Agents of Salazar" etc. So some (although not all) could be honest attempts at breaking it to squabble for members.
