Update 1: Catacombs (June 16, 2011 to October 12, 2011)

Around this time RedBranch dissolved because of the difficulty associated with leveling at top levels. The active members merged into clan Everfear along with Wolves. People would still cooperate on bosses no matter what clan they were in. When a person saw a boss, they would announce it to the zone to get help. Although groups were limited to four people, many would come to help and Everfear would distribute the drops based on attendance, depending on class and level. Everfear was the dominant clan and helped others, but they still competed against others such as the clan DragonRiders who counted Kooks and HassanJomaa among their members.
It is also worth mentioning that there was a bug that caused anyone in the area to lose the target they had on the player or mob they were targeting, when a mob cast a skill. This was a major annoyance to druids trying to heal the tank in a room full of people.
Another bug that affected the economy of the server at this time was that cloak of fire would kill all of the new Catacomb bosses almost instantly, allowing any mage to solo them for the best armor in the game. The spawn rate on these bosses was 10 minutes, so you could do a lap of the three rooms killing all placeholders, and repeat it over and over again.

During this time, Raven and Bronn made secret alt characters to see how people in the clan would treat noob players. Bronn made Bubbles, because he thought that with a silly name people would think he was young and inexperienced. Raven created xSarahx and would ask silly questions that only an inexperienced player would ask. They found that most people were very helpful, and treated them well. The exception to this was when Bandit sold xSarahx a ruby for an exorbitant amount over shout. Bronn and Raven told the clan about the experiment, and learned that the ruse had fooled everyone.
Juppongatana's philosophy was that they would try to help everyone that was a good player and showed dedication to the game, regardless of whether they were in the clan or not. They believed in building friendships and interclan groups.
In early October 2011, Bandit was able to use his jailbroken iPhone to give himself 500 million gold. He may not have been found out until gold was included on the leaderboards, except that he gave it away to everyone online at the time using one of his alts named GoldenArrow. Many people took the gold, and didn't consider that it might be hacked. On October 7th, because of this, Bandit got banned. However, everyone that he had given gold to, and had over 5 million gold, were also banned as well. Raven, Wolf, Xellaya, Tomo, sandlander, and JcBeast were among those banned.
When the Admin relented, he returned the accounts to most people minus the gold that was hacked. Raven was one of the first to be restored, but he was stripped of all gold and luxury items. Later, Raven was credited some gold to help pay for the lost luxury items. During this time, Bronn took a break and gave his character to Wolf because Wolf was banned.
Some people, including Xellaya and Kooks, were able to hang onto their gold because they had spent it quickly and had transferred it off to other characters. Because of this gold hack, the economy of Arawn was ruined for quite some time. It also caused the prices of the upcoming Halloween event on October 28th to be increased massively to take the hacked gold out of circulation.

Trivia:
- Juppongatana means "The Ten Swords", and they had 10 generals running the clan. The name came from the Kenshin anime series.
- Although there were many clans, it was not uncommon for one person to have alt characters in other clans.
- One clan evolved over a short period of time. Wolves became Legion, which became Sparta.
- In Update 1, Raven was the highest level character at level 60. This was quite an accomplishment because back then the highest level mob was the level 50 Fireswords. Bronn hit level 60 second, then Kooks.
- Because of the gold hack, the Broom of Doom cost 1 million gold, and the only people who could afford it were people who got money from the gold hack.
- Before update 1, there was a bug that allowed rogues to use a warrior hammer. It let them hit for 1000 hp and instantly kill a Black Revenant.
- Xell is a talented artist that created many cartoons of Celtic Heroes characters. One of them can be seen at the top of this blog post. Click here to see her art
- Another good clan during v1 was kingOwing, headed by SirWinston. This clan merged with Juppongatana to create Serenity in update 2.
