History
Vortex started as a neighborhood named Sinnale, primarily managed by OneManWo1fPac and Diamond_Boss. OneMan became interested in making it a PvP guild when he won some diamond PvP equipment. Sometime during this period, the guild was named dfd[1]. It was difficult to get players at the time due to the popularity of Arcane and several other PvP guilds. However, he found cockroach14, who went on to join the guild, along with several of his friends. It was at this point that the guild was renamed to Vortex. They were still a small guild, with approximately fifteen realms; however, they expanded significantly when Army of Darkness disbanded, leaving its members at loose ends. Tiny_Tiger2012, Dilsifprosif1, Ullabooyy, and MkMan2008 all joined Vortex after Army of Darkness disbanded[2].
After causing much controversy, OneManWo1fPac stepped down as leader of Vortex in December 2012, appointing cockroach14 as guild owner, cubeguy314 as co-owner, and guige1 as secretary. For the time, however, he remained a member of Vortex[3]. It was at this time that Vortex ceased to offically be a PvP guild as a result of the conflict resulting from it.
On March 24th, 2013, cockroach14 instituted a strict rule against PvP logging[4]. It included an immediate kick for any PvP loggers in the guild, after which the only way to get back in (assuming that cockroach14 decided to permit such a player to rejoin the guild) was to pay a fee: 5K for the first offense, and 10K for the second. After the third offense, the player would be permanently barred from Vortex. Cubeguy314 and infamouspally, upset by the new rules, left Vortex to create their own guild, Akatsuki. After a short time, they resolved their differences and rejoined Vortex.
