The story of EL-DiabloHF
Back in late 1999 I started playing Diablo 1 on USEast. I was getting owned so bad on the game I almost stopped playing. I did some looking around and found that being in a clan was the way to go! You get help, you get hacks, and you get to stop being killed. So I approached a clan called dbd (Dead By Dawn)… These guys
treated me like the largest newb to ever walk the earth! Lol It is funny now
because a lot of the people back then are now my friends today but these guys
were so top notch they would have nothing to do with me… I mean I could not
blame them I had not even been gaming a month! So about 2
weeks later I went into a recruitment game for Hells Fury. The guy seemed cool
so I joined. He told me there was a Co-Leader (Rev_Amon) and that’s whom I
needed to talk to because he was leaving for some time. He also told me to start
recruiting people, said I seemed like I knew what I was doing so I could start
getting new Members. So I did just that… I went out and started recruiting new
Members for this great clan I just joined. A lot of time went by and I never
seen the so-called leader of HF let alone this Co-Leader he spoke of. I went to
the people that I had recruited and explained that these guys must not be coming
back. There response was “Well you are the Leader, sense you recruited us”. So I made a
website, added some pictures, made some ranks and called myself the Leader
lol… I got mixed up about a month later when I was logging in to Battle Net
and got on USWest. I was gaming for about a week and was like “What the hell
happened to all the people I recruited!” Well a few of the guys came and found
me and we just stayed on USWest. A few years
back the guy that recruited me turned up in our clan channel! It was kind of
funny really when he came in, the channel was full of very loyal HF Members.
When this dude came in and told them all that he was there Leader, well lets
just say the guy did not have a very enjoyable time in the channel! He left
never to be heard from again that I know and honestly I don’t think he would
want to get the same treatment again! I met so many
great people that played a huge role in building HF what it is today! A lot of
people have come and gone from HF and we seem to keep going and growing. I wish
everyone that was recruited never left but that is just not how it works on
battle net. So now I just get to know the people while they are here and enjoy
the gaming fun we all have together. Change is never fun but change always
brings in new faces and new fun! Now that I
have ran HF for so many years I don’t really see it as a game anymore, I get
on to hang with my friends! People in HF always seem to get along and when
needed they are always willing to help in any way they can. I would not trade in
my experience for anything and I hope other people current and future members
find Team Hells Fury a great place like so many other people have! Team Hells
Fury Forever!! -EL
The Story of Abby(HF)
In 1997 I was
dating a guy who was a big gamer. I had no exposure to online gaming (or
computers or the internet for that matter). When he realized this he got it into
his head that I would become internet and computer wise by basically
teaching myself through trial and error. He had a game that had just been
released that kind of interested me....that game was Diablo. I played it awhile
offline before I braved my fear of this so called "internet" and
logged onto Bnet (U.S. East). This is the
era in which Bnet was a hackers dream, and I'm sure Blizzard's nightmare. Within
a few weeks on Bnet I was in a clan and using hacks. This shocked the nerd
boyfriend to no end. He also realized he maybe should have given me some basic
background like there's these things called "viruses" lmao (and not
left everything to my trial and error method). That first year on Bnet is a
story in itself. Let's just say because of the type of people I was associating
with I learned a lot about how "the game" was played. Not much of that
included how to actually play Diablo lol. Due to huge
changes in my personal life (becoming a nurse, moving to the US etc.) I left
Bnet for several years. I came back in 2001 to find a completely different
environment. For starters I didn't know anyone anymore. So my instinct was to
start looking for a clan to join. I soon joined
a clan called Hell Knights (HK). I didn't have any hacks (HK didn't either), so
I went looking for someone to hook me up. My first thought was this Tron guy who
had recently crashed me. I found him and his clan, and in the process I also got
to know people in a lot of other clans both on East and West. Some major names
people would still know, others not so memorable. Soon after I
joined HK the leader left Bnet and I inherited the clan. After a few months the
players became more and more into StarCraft (which I never could get into
playing), so I stepped down as leader. I started my own clan called exe. Most
clans on Bnet were either D1 or SC clans, I started exe as a D2 clan. The mass
confusion I called "running a clan ensued"...I was leader of exe,
trying to learn to play D2, teaching myself to make web sites, recruiting and
making allies. On top of that I was secretly a member of some D1 hacking clans.
I had also allied exe with clans that "officially" didn't have allies.
So all that had to be kept secret too. I was doing all this between east and
west. I don't know how I ever kept everything and everyone straight back then. So one day
I'm sitting in my channel on east, when in comes this EL-DiabloHF guy and one of
his members BoStarHF from west. I had some clue who HF was, because of some west
clans we mutually knew (EDF had been an ally once of HK, and SD was an ally of
exe). But I had never talked to El, and had no idea why he was there... El was there
to fight (based on some false information given to him). At the time clans
normally used D1 channels, and you couldn't kick or ban people. The usual course
of action was fight with the person. So I call some people into the channel for
back up. El and I butted heads for awhile, eventually El and Bo went back
west. Of course me
being me, I was so ticked off I in turn went over west to the HF channel and
commanded El to apologize to me!! Lmao, as you can imagine that went over like a
ton of bricks...there was no apology. However, we somehow moved on and got past
our bumpy first encounter. I asked around about HF and El (I didn't hear
anything bad) so I occasionally started hanging out in the HF channel and gaming
with HF members. It came to a point on east where I knew I was going to leave Bnet if something didn't change. Amongst all the hacking, back stabbing, lying and fighting there also was not a big interest in D2 yet (on east anyways) and especially not for D2 clans. I found myself going west more and more and playing D2 with HF members. I eventually asked El if I could join HF. The rest is history! I quit
east and all the clans I had been in, and settled down with HF. I did take grief
from some east people when they heard I had joined HF and moved west. I'd get
visits every now and then from people berating me for it. I think they just
missed my biting sarcasm and fighting with me lol. I never regretted asking to
join HF. People will
ask me how I can still play on Bnet, how I'm not bored of it. All I have to say
is... if your bored on Bnet you definitely haven't spent any time with HF lol,
and if the only reason I logged onto Bnet was to play Diablo, I would've quit
years ago. HF isn't just
about gaming, it's also about friends. HF members understand that, that's why
I've always been proud to say I'm a member of Hells Fury. Abby(HF)
The
story of Jedi(HF) …Jedi(HF),
part of the intergalactic society of interactive entertainment activists (AKA
video game players) began his journey on the planet of Diablo II: LoD when he
was known as Elvish_Jedi, and was continuously being proved a n00bcake as he
tried playing his Tri-Element Sorceress, his Meditation Healing paladin, and his
Cobra Strike Single-clawed Assassin. He slowly began to realize he needed to
refine his playing strategy, when he met a group of ruffians by the name of
Hell’s fury…. Back, to reality though, tis Jedi and my
history. I honestly don’t remember how I got into HF, although I’ve been
here for quite some time (back in the day shortly after (HF) merged with (GoD)
[God’s of destruction] during the D1 era), and I’ve seen people come and go
from HF more than I’d like. When I first started on battle.net, I was totally
nub to any decent build, and was playing by a single player build that literally
took me 5 hours to get through act 1 hell when it was lvl 94, because it was a
paladin with a max Prayer aura, 10 into meditation, some into Zeal, and some
into some other random skills (this was before synergies). After a while of
playing I began finding people in the game who were willing to offer advice the
battle.net newcomers, and they helped me get started with a decent build. Pre-HF
my most successful build was a Frozen Orb Sorceress that reached lvl 94 with
full Tal’Rasha set. At the time I would have sworn by the sorc because it was
pre-rune word and could PvP decently, as well as take care of anything needed to
be done in PvM (thanks to her Fire act 3 Merc). It was during this time that at
some point I saw someone mention clan HF and their forums so I went there and
checked it out. Shortly after I met some of the HF members of the time (Like
Sasha, EliteKiller, and etc.) and after some time hanging out, somebody
recruited me. Since then, I’ve been with HF for
approximately 5 years, watching people come and go. My original HF account was
Elvish_Jedi(HF), but that got banned not long ago when blizzard did their first
mass ban during 1.10 patch, and when that happened I created the account
Sith_Lord(HF). I’m not totally sure what caused me to quit using that, but
eventually I began to not play on it, and began playing on what is one of my
current accounts, Jedi(HF). Throughout
the years I’ve met some amazing people in HF, some of which I almost consider
more of family to me than my own flesh and blood, because some of them have been
there for me during hard times when no one else really cared. The biggest thing
I have noticed and loved about HF is that if you’re in, you’re a big family.
You have people who you can look up to as role models, and you have some who you
can annoy the hell out of like brothers and sisters. And when you screw
up…they let you know J. I’ve had some wonderful times in HF, and
plan on continuing to have them until HF is no more, which I plan on being all
the way until battle.net servers are shut down… ….and
even then we will have LAN party’s and get our own servers J.
The Story of Kindiliniak(HF)
Rhinoa(SR)
was where it all began, fall of 99 in Diablo Spirit, USEast.
The Story of Dilligaf(HF) Sometime in 1999 I bought Diablo 1. I played single player, but got bored and moved online to USWest. Working by myself I did well and but slowly got to high levels with decent gear. Then the “expansion pack” Hellfire came out and I started playing that. Hacks started appearing, and after a while I figured out several. One day I fought another guy for an hour with hack vs hack, finally we gave up and I decided to use hacks only to avoid getting hacked J After a while I got tired of working alone and started looking for a clan to join. I bought Diablo II and went straight to online play, creating a necromancer on account DILLIGAF_BEAVIS which was essentially a summoner. After getting into hell difficulty with him I realized he sucked in hell chaos. I could not kill anything in hell to summon with. So I abandoned him and made a Bow Amazon. I met a gamer from clan 3:16 sometime in 2001 and I started hanging out with them, eventually joining up with them becoming Beavis3:16. After a year or so work took me away. When I was able to return and get back online I discovered my 3:16 account had been deleted. I searched for 3:16 in the channel/games, but no one was around and the web site was down. I don’t know what happened, but 3:16 was no more. I was back on my own again and hating life. I still did ok as I discovered how to transfer items on my own. (risky, but can work) I played often enough to get to level 90+ on several characters (still have a 96 javazon – high level mule!). I eventually met GamesChief(HF) during a baal run. I followed his runs for a long time and eventually he spammed the channel OP HFCLAN. I, still wanting to be in a clan, started hanging out in OP HFCLAN, firing questions at anyone in HF who would answer about what HF was like, how do I join and so on. I was told the web site, “read rules page” “sign up on the forums” “hang out, game and don’t beg for a spot”. Same stuff that we tell newbies today hehe. I read the web site, signed up on the forums and gamed with the clan members for several months; until one day I was recruited into the clan and I became DILLIGAF(HF). I have had ups and downs with HF, but my dedication to the clan has never wavered. It is not just a group of people that I game with. I truly consider HF members as my friends and in most cases family.
It started back in 2000 when I
started playing Diablo 1 on battle.net, I first
started kickin it with various Mike from [KoW] (I cant
remember his b.net name) Took us under his wing and
had us putting in work for him I was making nice advancements
in (GoD) clan and we had made a big name for ourselves among b.nets finest We had Been friends with HF for
a while we backed them up with Everything they did and one day I got my wish. As far as I was concerned that
made us a stronger group...we became like a family and to this day still are... Now a days you can find us
Still Reppin Hells Fury... 9 Long years later we are still standing strong... Hells Fury Will Never Die!
The
Story of Narada(HF) (AKA
Info_b0t, NaradaB0T, CaptainStumpy, Phuck_Yiu, stumpmeister) Note:
My memory is absolutely horrible, sorry for forgetting dates and people! My
introduction to Battle.net came somewhere in the year 1998, when my old buddy
Tim got me into StarCraft on USWest. Aside
from the fact that we were in 6th or 7th grade, this kid
was pretty leet. Under the name
“aliencannibal” I got quite good at StarCraft, though I’ll confess that my
skills lost a bit of their edge with the release of Brood War.
This lasted for at least one year, maybe more, maybe less. Next
I moved on to Diablo, beginning my gaming as a warrior named “KillaOfDemons”
(I was like 12 or something, cut me some slack. :P) Anyways, no sooner than I started playing I quickly found
myself disgusted by those who PKed, so I decided to go into bounty hunting…
hunting PKers, that is. Inevitably,
I ended up running across hackers who ruined my shit. So like a good little nooblet, I found myself a copy of
BoBaFeTT’s trainer and Nightrider’s Item Editor. I then took on the new name of “Narada” and got started
on honing my leet skiddie skillz. These
worked pretty well for awhile… until I met people who could crash Diablo
itself. I suppose it was a bit of a
mixed blessing, because without these assholes I never would’ve started to
mingle with clans and the hacking community. Sometime
around 2000 I went back to StarCraft under the new name of LoH-Narada, creating
the clan Legion of Honor. I made a
website from scratch with only notepad and HTML as my sword and shield; the clan
lived for awhile, then kinda died… well everyone knows how that goes.
Well
somewhere in the middle of that (I was still playing Diablo at the time) I met
Sasha, who was a member of the Gods of Destruction (GOD).
She gave me some basic .dats and taught me how to use them with the aid
of Dhack, and soon I was able to monkey stomp all of the other noob script
kiddies using dats like myself. Yeah,
I thought I was pretty hot shit. <.< Long story short, I ended up becoming
good buddies with Sasha and some other guys from (GOD), and to tell you the
truth I secretly idolized their 1337 h4x0r skills and wanted to be “leet
enough” to someday join them. I
finally ditched the carcass of LoH- and joined with a new Diablo based clan
called -MF-, or Mobile Forces. Among
our ranks were King-MF-/Bringeroflight and Blizdogg-MF-, the latter of which
some of you may remember being an old leader of Mess With Us You’re Dead (MWUYD).
It should be noted however that Chancy(MWUYD) was the leader when I
joined, Blizdogg taking over after Chancy left.
No
earlier than 2003, I ended up as a fairly “beefy” guy in (MWUYD), (meaning I
don’t remember rank, but it was an upper one) and things were going pretty
well (albeit some people had attitude problems and held grudges like you
wouldn’t believe.) I believe it
was also when I was in (MWUYD) that I first met Lithium[Le] and EJ (Savage), who
I also became friends with. Somewhere
along the way I invented the “Nuke-0-Meter” to stick in profiles on Diablo
in order to count your successful crashes… simply listing names doesn’t work
when you get in excess of several hundred users. :P For
reasons I do not recall (I think grades or something), I was unable to be on
b.nut for a good 2 weeks. Apparently
in this time Hell’s Fury (HF) and (GOD) had owned up on (MWUYD) like it was
nobody’s business, in all honesty flat-out eradicating it.
You can imagine my surprise when I came back and joined Diablo USA-(MWUYD)
only to find it completely empty. Everything
being complete chaos, I just wandered around trying to find people I knew (who
didn’t want me dead) to game with. Sasha
again ended up coming to my aid, offering me membership in (GOD) as she had with
many of the old (MWUYD) “refugees”. I
finally became a member of (GOD), and although it wasn’t necessarily under the
best circumstances, I was happy. Not
too long after joining, I was inducted into the ranks of the Elite Guard and
gamed under the alias of “Narada(GoD)”. Unfortunately,
it didn’t last; (GOD) [also (GoD)] began to die out. El_Diablo_HF and Sasha, once bitter rivals, now friends, came
together and had a talk. Being the
leader of (GOD) was taking it’s toll on Sasha, so she turned the clan over to
Sire(GOD), and her, myself, and a handful of other (GOD) members merged with
Hell’s Fury. Primarily leaving
the old days of Diablo behind, (HF) tended to be more focused on Diablo II.
That being so, I mournfully allowed my (GOD) account to expire, and
became known from then on as Narada(HF). While
in Hell’s Fury, I’ve been known by the handles of Narada, Narada(HF),
CaptainStumpy, Phuck_Yiu, and stumpmeister (though the names “Narada” and
“Stumpy” appear to be the ones that have stuck.) As a highly active member, I rose through the ranks of (HF),
eventually earning the rank of Lieutenant General. After several years of serving in that honorable position,
work began to bog me down. Soon
school, family trouble, and serving as an administrator/staff member for several
online hacking and security communities cut back severely on my free time, and
as a result my Battle.net activity dropped to a bare minimum.
When it became apparent that what I thought would be a temporary decrease
in activity was to gain permanence, both El and I felt it would be in (HF)’s
best interest for me to step down. Relieved
of the tension of my awkward position, I settled down into the normal
“member” rank, of which I currently reside in to this day. Over
the years, I’ve been to Hell and back (pun intended) with Hell’s Fury.
Hell’s Fury is not just a clan or group of people you game with –
Hell’s Fury becomes a part of you, a part of your life.
(HF) has been nothing less than a second family to me, I don’t really
know of any other way to better describe it.
Friendships may come and go over the years, but those of (HF) are always
to be eternally cherished. And with
that said, I close with our time-tested battle cry of victory – Hell’s Fury
forever! Before I played D2 I watched some of my friends play while at their houses, I thought to myself, "I have got to get this game!” I bought it and played it for about a week, then Blizzard released the 1.10 patch on my birthday and I spent the next 2 weeks retrieving my body because they had made the game so much more difficult. Then I got divorced and didn’t play for a few yrs to take time to get my life straightened out, but I was hooked and D2 was on my mind. I finally was able to dedicate a small amount of time to playing D2 in Dec. 2005, the first thing I did of course was install the 1.11 patch and I thought to myself "I wonder how much more difficult they made it this time :\". I played when I could after work during chores and such, much like the rest of the people who play this game. Then one day I found this item I knew nothing about, it did nothing for me, couldn’t sell it, couldn’t equip it, and couldn’t use the cube on it. I went into the channel and said, "what the hell l is a Key of Hate and what the hell do I do with it?" Some weird little guy I didn’t know told me to join a game and he would explain it to me. After spending about 30 min. listening to him tell me to go and get the rest of the keys and he would help me with ubers I thought "ok this guy is trying to scam me because I am new", but his story never changed. I collected the Keys and went to the channel he said I could find him in (op HFclan), he was never there it seemed, so I yelled "BEEEEENNNNN!" after all, he said just yell for me and somebody will find me. They found him and he not just helped me do Uber Tristram, but he didn’t steal the Torch, my first Torch, and a Pally Torch at that! I spent the next few days hanging out in channel Op HFclan and met El, Abby, Jedi, and Haze(HF) all were very forthcoming with answers to my questions and even offered help. I had been in a clan when I met Hells Fury, but my own clan was nowhere near as helpful to a member as Hells Fury was to a stranger. I was told the same thing each and every one of us has been told " sign up for the forums", hang out in the channel, don’t beg us for entry, we will offer it", so I stayed there and talked and played and laughed. Then El came to me and said you can’t join if you’re a member of another clan. I immediately submitted my resignation to my former clan and was recruited into Hells Fury 2 days later. I had trouble making the meetings due to my work schedule but I always remembered to send an email stating I couldn’t attend, but I made sure to be around as much as was possible for me. I spent most of my time playing with Ben my "little buddy" as I called him for some time, I played a practical joke on El on the cell phone and all was taken in fun and I thought "Ok! These are my kind of people!” I then decided to make every effort to make Hells Fury the place to be, all in my own way of course. Now I am ranked as Brigadier General and couldn’t be more proud to be a part of this Clan, Team, Family, all are appropriate terms in my view. Gameschief(HF)
The Story of Blacknova(HF)
I started
battle.net on east as HellBent(FK) after being introduced to d2 by --BlackNova
I was first introduced to Diablo 1 by a friend of mine from the neighborhood. I can’t remember exactly when but it was most likely around 1998 - 1999. After playing single player for some time we moved on to play online to find the game was drastically different. Luckily for me he playedbefore I did and figured out where to get hacks and basically learn the ropes of online play which meant I didn’t have to go into games asking noob questions. After playing online I loved it so much I got the game for myself. Soon after playing I joined my first clan known as the fallen angels. They were a new clan and were in need of members so I recruited as many people as possible for about a week. Then one day I logged on and everyone was just gone. It was like everyone left at once like maybe there was a memo I didn’t get or something. After playing clanless for a while I eventually decided to find another clan. I came across blacknova(V) from the madmen clan. I joined and spent allot of time with the clan. You may remember deadlysorc(V) grimreaper(V) and blacknova(V) as they all eventually joined HF. Deadlysorc however used the name magicman(HF). It was during my time spent in (V) that I was introduced to hells fury. (V) and (HF) had a long history sometimes being enemies sometimes being friends. Its funny that I now sit as co-leader of the very clan I once went to war with years ago. Eventually it got to the point where only me, nova, deadlysorc, and grimreaper ever played. So I decided to take el up on an offer he had extended to me about joining HF. Soon after nova, deadlysorc and grimreaper followed suit. While in (V) I had made use of my friends list as a way to keep track of the clans enemies. Back in the d1 days if you added someone to your friends list you could see what game they were in regardless of them adding you or not. I continued to use this system in HF and even took it a step further. I kept a bot online and used its entire friends list for this sole purpose. Being that persistent helped me make a name for myself within HF and move up through the ranks at a decent pace. After a little over a year spent in hells fury I stepped away from battle.net for a year and a half. The break was long over due. Upon my return I found that most of the people from HF I had became good friends with had either left battle.net completely or join Darknexus a clan ran by Pk_killer(HF) after he left hells fury. I played solo for a while debating on joining my old friends in DN or rejoining my old clan. My decision to rejoin HF was based upon the fact that most of DN was just old friends that were getting burnt out on the game and never really played so I figured if I wanted toactually play HF was the way to go. I’m
not 100% sure but I think ive been in HF since sometime in the year 2000 minus
the year and a half break I took. I’ve seen many come and many go. I’ve made
several good friends and ive watched some leave (come back sniper :( ). Over the
last year or so we have been using Ventrilo and it has really turned allot of
from a group of friends into more then friends. Hells fury is as close to an
online family as you can get. I have never played another game where I have
gotten to know people so well. I was never good at English and I can’t write a
non-cheesy closing statement get over it. Insanekobra
My first
experience with Battlenet came in the form of StarCraft via dial-up.
It was a love hate relationship. I
loved to play StarCraft but hated dial-up.
;) That was only for a short
while however and I subsequently took a very long break from BattleNet play.
It was fun though to hear people whine about setting up my first pylon,
Forge and a few cannons in their base as my opening move.
If I didn’t know better, I’d claim to be responsible for all those
maps that have minerals that block base exits for the first minute or so of game
play and game titles that have “NO RUSH” in them.
:D Guess I never was good at playing by someone else’s rules
when the game allows otherwise. Fast forward a few years to high speed internet and me becoming acquainted. A few co-workers and I started playing D2 after hours. I had played a lot of D2 offline during the dial-up days, but never played it on Battlenet. I found my new form of crack after having a falling out of sorts with my longtime favorite of online games, Quake (all hail iD!) I started playing D2 much more than was healthy for a normal person, but crack addiction is crack addiction. o.O One of my co-workers that I played with was a real life friends of the then HF member Bentoons. As time went one, we played on Battlenet getting some much needed info and tips from him. After a few months he asked us all if we were interested in joining HF. I checked out the website and thought it would be pretty cool to have some backup from time to time when playing since some things D2 are more difficult when you are playing by yourself without a loader.
Bentoons recommended me to El who gave the thumbs up and both ran me
through the grueling gauntlet of HF recruitment.
Ahh, the days of hearing “Holy crap!
A lvl 92 Zon!” from various folks.
Old hat these days huh? J
I quickly became acquainted with the HF crew that was around when I came
onboard. Sadly, only two remain,
one of which was ready to unleash some Hello Kitty! wrath on me after I
suggested she should just copy the Arreat Summit site onto hers.
Right Abbeh? Luckily I live
˝ way across the U.S. and was able to dodge certain death long enough to let it
be known I was being silly. Humor
can be so hard to pull of through text messaging sometimes.
:D Thinking about memorable moments during my time in HF brings quite a few thins to mind. Some of the best though would be the classic maneuver involving spamming public channels to get a ton of people into the Clan channel followed up by a vote ban via the bots. Always funny to see someone vote to ban themselves. Of course who can forget this jewel: http://z4.invisionfree.com/Hells_Fury_Clan/index.php?showtopic=1852 A toast to HF! My home away from home.
