My first exposure to the orcs was through Shadowclan on the OSI Catskills shard. I played as an orc with them for about 6 months or so and then quit OSI.

I joined Hybrid a long time ago (probably 8 years ago now), and fairly soon after playing I noticed an Orc running through Brit--his name was GlubGlub. I partied him, told him I didn't realize shadowclan was here and was interested in becoming an orc again. I always enjoyed the group mentality, the organization, the rules, the structure of being an orc. The lore and history that gets created within the orc clan is so much more than any other guild or clan out there. He mentioned that it was not shadowclan but rather bloodclan and he was starting up a branch here on Hybrid. I joined up that same day, and I believe it was me GlubGlub and only one other Orc...I forget his name now. Those were the good ol' days. We didn't have many rules--and I distinctly remember roaming around on ridgebacks and desert ossies, killing random people. We did that for a few months until I believe other bloodclan orcs moved over from IPY. Then we sort of merged groups, reestablished rules, and started heavy recruiting. From there I sort of fell into my role as pug/gruntee smasher and whipped young orcs into shape.

I've seen probably close to a thousand different orc names pass through the clan. Sadly, I can't put all my raiding memories with each of them, but there are definitely a lot of orcs that have stuck out in my memory as being real friends. I've known a lot of you 5...6+ years now, and it's been awesome. I'm glad to have been able to be a part of such an awesome group of people.

Here's to another decade of humie klompin!
