[edit] A Brief History and Introduction of the NC Blue Lions
[edit] It all began at Planetside 1's launch!
The Blue Lions were originally formed on the second day of PlanetSide beta testing... May 21, 2003... Our outfits founder "Mike Massino", was a young US gamer (who played under his real life name). Mike, assisted by his real life friend "Metoria" set up the Blue Lions outfit during the afternoon of May 21 2003, right after school.
[edit] What's up with the Poodle?
Beta 2003 was very successful for us. Under Mike's leadership, the Blue Lions quickly attracted a loyal following to became an Emerald NC success story by the end of beta.
Just after the end of beta testing , Mike handed over outfit lead to a talented female member who played from Canada, named "Jezebel". Jezebel was a hardened veteran of MMO FPS organizations of the time, as well as her husband "Spender". Spender also acted as Jezebel's second in command, and they both competently managed the Blue Lions until the spring of 2004.
In 2004 Jezebel promoted another Canadian named "Kaya", to replace her as outfit leader. Kaya maintained the outfit for only a short time.
In the fall of 2004, Kaya surrendered the outfit lead to an active and skilled US player named "Gride". Gride soon after taking over the outfits helm, appointed another active outfit member named "DasAlteSoldat" as his second in command. At that time the Blue Lions outfit was just shy of their 'first' one million outfit points, out of a possible ten million.
Between the fall of 2004 and December of 2006, our loyal members fought hard and earned the outfit well over five million gross outfit points. That ranked our outfit on PlanetSide Universe stats as the 28th top ranking outfit in 2006... for all time, all empires, and for all servers. No small feat in 2006 as there were literally hundreds upon hundreds of outfits in PlanetSide.
In January 2007, Gride passed on the outfit leaders torch to his second in command... "DasAlteSoldat". DasAlteSoldat..." Das" as he is known by the membership, in time promoted two very effective old school officers... "DragonPrey" and "StarFire" to assist him with the management and command of the outfit.
By early 2011, the Blue Lions had joined PlanetSide 1's "10-million outfit point club" (the maximum points allowed to an outfit), as the 'second ever' NC outfit... 'of all time' and for 'all servers', to earn that honor. On Gemini the final server for that game... The Lions continued on to close out their legacy game, as the undisputed dominant NC outfit on PlanetSide. When the Blue Lions ushered out their beloved legacy game, they had quite literally finished at the top of that game!
[edit] Planetside 2 ERA!
The Blue Lions historically have only supported PlanetSide and that focus will continue. Our outfit has served PlanetSide 1's faithful each and every day for the past decade... without ever missing a single day. We never went inactive as the majority of PlanetSide's outfits did during the last years of PlanetSide 1. The Blue Lions intend to continue on with that tradition in PlanetSide 2.

We continue to capitalize on our well earned reputation as being a strong, stable organization with adult values. We enjoy alliances with the finest New Conglomerate outfits on the server. Our steady success as a team of serious gamers, is due in no small part to the solid management model that was put in place so many years ago. For as long as there is a PlanetSide to play, there will be Blue Lions playing it. There is no end in sight for the Blue Lions... the future is ours... we are PlanetSide!
