These days we all know Stack as an unstoppable damage dealing juggernaut. However, this was not always the case. The path to success was not an easy one for Stack. He had his own personal demons to battle along the way. This is...

In the early 1980's Stack (then still using his real name, Biff Stackenstein) was discovered by a talent scout and his legendary career began. As a founding member of one of the first boy bands, he made an impact on the music scene that would forever change the course of history.

Unfortunately, this prosperity was not to last. Unhappy with the billing he was receiving in the band, Stack left the group in 1986.

Stack stepped back into the studio with former Rangers bandmate Mack in 1989. Neither of them was prepared for the massive smash hit the record would become.

As Brother From Another Mother continued to top Domestic and International charts, the power and money began to have a massive impact on Stack. He began to associate with a man from New York known as Hrlmknight or the "King of Darkness" as he was often called. Hrlm was no stranger to trouble, having been in and out of prison for years. It was through Hrlm that Stack got hooked on Prism Powder. He found himself using more and more frequently.

"I really don't remember a lot from that time period," comments Stack. "All I wanted to do was wake up, shoot arrows at things, and get invisible. All day, every day. There were entire weeks where nobody saw me."

Stack hit the wall in 1996. He was stopped by police for driving while invisible. This very public arrest crushed any chances he may have had of revitalizing his now dormant music career.

Reflecting on these events now, Stack states "I guess you just have to hit bottom before you can start coming back up. That's what happened in '96. I was on so much Prism Powder in those days. I finally just said to myself 'this is it.' No more prism powder, no more womanizing, no more living in the public eye. I just decided to retire from the music industry altogether and dedicate all my time to doing what I really loved- killing stuff with arrows."

And so he did just that. In the years that followed Stack's hunting skills became the stuff of legend. Under conditions of anonymity, one of his former peers comments:


"God damn, I hate to see him coming. I think I've pulled about five hundred arrows out of my horn... uh... I mean wings. Yeah, I have wings. Arrows in my wings. ...shit."

CONGRATULATIONS STACK on the completion of your YOICHINOYUMI!



Zader was wandering around (probably looking for Dark Ixion pops or something) when he found himself in a place he had never seen before. Cautiously, he approached.

Not sure what he would find within, Zader gathered all of his courage and pushed open the door.

Intrigued by the strange things he had found, Zader proceeded into the holding cells. As his eyes wandered from one decaying corpse to the next he suddenly noticed something sparkling brightly from within one of the cells.

It was here that he discovered the remains of a fallen Darkhearts Legend. Alongside this sad sight he found the great treasure of generations past.

Congratulations to Zader on completion of AEGIS


In the spirit of the Olympic games, Darkhearts decided we needed to have our own world record. Having dispatched our team to the various corners of the Shadowrealm we sought a record that no average linkshell on any server would be able to accomplish. We are proud to announce....

Dark Ixion #50

Yes thats correct, we have just achieved our 50th Ixion kill on Ramuh giving us a 90%+ claim on the mythical beast.



Greetings fellow FFXI addicts! This is your old buddy Stinky here to bring you another Darkhearts news update. We have a hell of a lot of things to share with you this month, as recent updates to the game have given us a bunch of new content to sink our teeth into.

I had a little bit of a dilemma in constructing the update this month. You see, I want to show everybody all this cool new stuff we have been doing but I don't want to offend our rival HNM Linkshells. I don't have the big hard-on for Rona that some of my shellmates do, so I didn't feel a need to be excessively cocky. I sat around for a little while wondering how I could depict Darkhearts dominating all of this badass new content in a way that wouldn't upset other linkshells that stick to the old stuff. What I've decided to do is downplay things a bit. I'm going to tell you all about the cool new stuff but I'm going to disguise it as very old content so nobody gets jealous. Therefore, I bring to you...

Darkhearts entertainment system: The 8-bit Update

The Legend of Ixion

Once upon a time in a land far away there existed a terrible beast. This beast was carrying three valuable treasures, together known as the Triforce! Darkhearts adventurers tracked this beast down and recovered the Triforce pieces all month long. Here's a look at this badass Wizzrobe in action.

Dark Ixion

Pretty friggin' hard actually. We've never seen it happen in 09249782347 kills.

Artist's Depiction of Damsel Memento

At least Ixion gives us full drops on a regular basis. It almost makes up for our crappy luck with other mobs.

Other linkshells aren't quite as lucky with him...


Hey, no peeking!

Altoc and his friends

Congrats to our members who have obtained valuable triforce pieces!

Moving on...

Darkhearts is proud to report that we are doing our part to help exterminate the giant worms that have begun to infest the countryside. We're significantly less proud to report that we haven't been nearly as lucky with the drops here. We farm this thing constantly and all we ever get are those retarded White Tathlums. I am so damn sick of seeing Serket.

Hay guys need some Tathlums?


Sandworm alongside rare HQ pop

Congrats to Arrithon on Antares Harness, the only noteworthy drop from all of our Sandworm kills

As usual, we continued to run Einherjar throughout the month. Two Odin runs to report on this time around.


Arthurx and Stinky are now proud Omega ring owners

Odin's really not too tough, though we hear he's been giving some of the softer LS' a bit of trouble lately.


Congrats to Zader for Valhalla Helm, Cordarrel for Shadow Coat, and Arrithon for Shadow Breastplate. Can you say 8/8 Body Abjurations? Arrithon can! That's a hell of an achievement, congrats man.



Additional Odin drops:

E. Body x2. Grats Dre and Stack

Of course, DH continued to run Dynamis twice a week all month as usual. I'm not going to list all the city drops because nobody really cares at this point, but here's what we got in Northlands:

Sorcerer's Petasos
Altoc
Stinky
Tristan

What month would be complete without a few of these?

Shadow Ring (Kazuy, Eldminster)
Shadow Mantle (Onica, Fargus)

This month there are a bunch of other achievements worth bragging about that don't really fit into any particular category. First and foremost, this deserves some attention:


Love him or hate him, that's pretty unbelievable right there. I know I'll never do it. God damn dude, I don't know how the hell you had the patience to endure that much exp. Very impressive work Z, now you just need to merit them all fully.



Grats on completion Farg!


We spent a little bit of time farming some items people wanted in sea and sky. Congrats to Jast on what I believe is the second DH Heca body in the last two years.

Novio Earring (Onica)

Grats on these two ZNM drops Tyreal


Congrats Evarwerks


Grats Eldminster.

Phew! Well that about covers what we were up to this month. I guess I'll take a moment to address potential applicants here at the end of our update just to keep everything even. In keeping with the rest of this post, I'll use a NES analogy.

Which would you rather be? One of these...

Or one of these...

Ain't nobody gaggin' here baby. We'll show you power.
