How long have you been a member of eXile? I founded the guild due to being eXiled in games due to my play style, I'm always the 'bad guy' and i wouldn't play any other way.
Favourite eXile moment? In SWG the last remaining 2 weeks we organised a server wide guild war which was 24/7 fighting, Only eXile and a few small IMP guilds took part against basically all the rebel guilds, We were outnumbered but it was amazing to organise such a huge successful event filled with PvP, There's videos on our forum in the media section from this event. It was unpredictable which was the best feeling.
Worst eXile moment? There's bad moments in every game, But you gotta take these bad moments to make the good moments feel even better.

D.O.B:
16 june 1987
Hometown:
Groenlo, The Netherlands
What do you do for a living?
Currently a student, but am graduating this schoolyear.
Character Name?
First name is ALWAYS Blade, my last names are:
Bloodthorne (main)
Bloodreaver (1st alt)
Other names for Alts (i rarely make more then 2 unless PVP characters are possible), it always starts with Blood e.g.
Bloodscythe
Bloodslash
and all kinds of other dumb stuff .
What MMO's have you played in the past?
Before eXile, i tried EVE online (shortlived), Anarchy Online DnD Stormreach and Guild Wars.
I joined eXile in 2008 with the release of Age of Conan. Then I pretty much went where eXile went, which were Darkfall Online and Aion. After those two died on us, we restarted AoC again, but i didnt stick around for long as the game held no interest to me.
What has been your favourite MMO so far and why?
My favorite MMO by FAR is Guild Wars. I played the game for over 4000 hours of which 3000 hours are probably spent doing Guild vs Guild battles. I'm a sucker for PVP and love it in most games as long as the battlefield is balanced and fun. Guild Wars, to me, is the best game I ever played. Hence, im looking forward to Guild Wars 2.
Apart from gaming any other hobbies?
Well im a student and like to game a lot. I do go out with friends from time to time and just hang. I watch several TV shows (including cartoons) and watch a fair amount of movies aswell. Oh and i also watch Bleach and Naruto so if you hear me scream BYAKUGAN! you know why... well you dont maybe, but... yeah...
How long have you been a member of eXile?
I joined in 2008 and eXile went to AoC.
Favourite eXile moment?
The Coalition of the Chilling vs Hyperion Kingdom Wars in Darkfall; that was epic fight after epic fight after epic. Especially thought it was funny when he used a large scale strategy that i thought up and posted, that got leaked and people on the forums were like "lol check this guys, he thinks hes smart and shit!". A month later, without my knowing, we did exactly this plan and it instantly annihilated our opponent Hyperion. It probably was a generic plan that any person with a brain could think of, but i still feel kinda responsible .
Worst eXile moment?
Worst eXile moment is in Darkfall. Dean (Abraxus) decided not to leave the Coalition of the Chilling after defeating the Hyperion Kingdom. Everyone was against the decision and the whole server turned against us, resulting in a humiliating defeat when we tried to rush the gates of The Mercs (i think). The chaos that ensued for a couple weeks was less then exciting, but it all turned around when we went on a conquering spree on rubayat.
What has been your favourite MMO so far and why? Darkfall - because of all the politics and mass pvp.
Apart from gaming any other hobbies? No
Favourite eXile moment? My favourite eXile moment, So many to mention but something stands out so clearly, Was most probably the last days before SWG ended a server wide guild war. Organised by the players it was a 24/7 guild war between all the Imp and Reb guilds, Only a couple of Imperial guilds took part in it and eXile was the driving force vrs all the rebel guilds, And we annihilated them everytime i was there.
Worst eXile moment? I have no worst eXile moments, You must expect the good and the bad in life, The bad makes the good all that much sweeter. Then you forget that there was ever anything bad.
Diekid
Name:
Erik Cedheim
D.O.B:
1979-05-30
Hometown:
Stockholm, Sweden
What do you do for a living?
Developer, IT Consultant
Character Name?
Diekid (Thinking of switching it to Kirec)
What MMO's have you played in the past?
Played longer than a few days: Ultima Online, Anarcy Online, Star Wars Galaxies, World of Warcraft, Age of Conan (honourable mention Aion, which I played quite alot during beta, bought, couldn't log in after launch because of queues and never played).
What has been your favourite MMO so far and why?
Star Wars Galaxies; Because of the open world, dynamic faction based pvp, player driven economy, crafting system etc. It had its faults but it was my first big love.
Apart from gaming any other hobbies?
Mainly programming.
How long have you been a member of eXile?
10 months or so, can't remember exactly when eXile came back to AoC. Before that I played with eXile as an ally and against eXile in SWG.
Favourite eXile moment?
I really enjoyed the early raids, I remember clearing W3 and killing the last boss for the first time. There has also been some really good sieges with high team spirit.
Worst eXile moment?
What I can recall, defending alone one flank of our BK during siege with noone comming to help, really pissed me off at the time. Outside being a member, probably getting ganked in brimstone a few times.
Nikoletta
Name: Nicola Louise Gordon
D.O.B: 7th July 1988
Hometown: Haydock, England
What do you do for a living? Work as a Medical Laboratory Assistant
Character Name? Nikoletta
What MMO's have you played in the past? WoW, Darkfall , Aion, Age of Conan
What has been your favourite MMO so far and why? Age of Conan, because it's where i felt more apart of a guild, there was so much to do as a guild, and i actually felt good about all parts of the game not just PvE or gathering.
Apart from gaming any other hobbies? Too embarrassing to say tbh :P
How long have you been a member of eXile? Properly since january 2009 , but i joined the unofficial eXile guild in WoW probably back in 2005 or something.
Favourite eXile moment? Soooo many too choose from , i liked it when i went on killing sprees with Robzus or Adoreus always had funny outcomes. I liked it when GDI from AoC thought they could come kill us in bori with double the amount we had and with alot higher levels and they failed so badly. Good on them for trying though :P.
Worst eXile moment? Well as Under reminded me , the times when him and Dean would be in a mini with me and they would go 'in the zone' basically not trying to win but just running in and seeing how much damage they could do. Was not fun when i was the only one that needed the quest :/. Was kinda funny though. Also don't like when people spread lies and rumours about me or Abraxus , like seriously how can i be doing things with a guy in sweden and the guy i live with not know about it? But thats the fun of flaming i guess :P.
Under
Name:
James Lloyd
D.O.B:
9th of April 1989 (21)
Hometown:
North Wales
What do you do for a living?
Work in Family Business.
Character Name?
Under / Necropsy
What MMO's have you played in the past? SWG, WoW, Aion and AoC
What has been your favourite MMO so far and why?
SWG by far, amazing game where you could do and be what you want with amazing world PvP and a VERY in-depth crafting system.
Apart from gaming any other hobbies?
Used to play ice-hockey for dee-side, now I'm either working, getting drunk, with my GF (She's studying 100miles away so don't get to see her much) or in the comp
How long have you been a member of eXile?
Must be about 7 years now, you can hear my unbroken voice on the forums from a PvP event when I was 14, but I won't tell you where!
Favourite eXile moment?
KILLING ZIXO and any sort of mass PvP involing brimstone and most rebel Guilds, also being one of the most hated person on the server felt like an acomplishment, before they changed the bounter hunter terminals you could see who your targets were, and I'd join rebel guilds as rebel and use the guild to track them down and kill them. I also cleared out a guild city hall with rewards that took 6months+ to get and sold them, so I become a primary hate target.
Allies among enemies
Worst eXile moment?
Adora
Allies among enemies, yes I said it twice
