Always my favourite Eve movies.
Absolutely
agreed!
so damn right or in the word of Tychus Findlay: "Hell its about time" ^^
agreed!
100% agree
Watching this 8 years later, this is still one of the most epic EVE online videos ever made. Miss you guys!
You don't need to play EVE to understand that the people behind this film are geniuses.
Yeah. When you consider it, it really does show what lengths small groups can and will go to to defend themselves. R&K, Bomber's Bar and Wingspan Delivery Services are prime examples of this. It's really interesting to see how these groups form tactics that require so few people but can be so devastating to even the largest groups. When 20 battleships and a titan, or 10 bombers and a few recons, or 60 bombers, a blops and a recon can reduce fleets or ships of the largest alliances in the game to rubble, you can begin to understand just how much survival in this game depends on the development of tactics, not numbers.
No one will ever fully grasp the magnitude of those with balls and minds as great as the stars themselves.
Still Unnamed as cool as they are. I can't put bomber's bar and wingspan in the same league as Rooks and Kings
oh hi
@@KaonashiKobayashiyou mention wingspan a literal collection of nubs that have never accomplished anything in the same breath as RnK 😂
“We got Rooks and Kings on our home station!
In our home system!”

I haven't played EVE in many years, but looking back at this almost brings tears to my eyes.
All the friends I made, all the random games we played, middle of the night pings on abstruse phone apps for crazy hotdrops and the endless hours of keep at range to a titan while scanning the horizons of EVE for fleets like a wolf on sheep.
I miss you guys.

Forever.

This video should be subtitled "Fuck guys. Update clones."
#cynosup #updateclones #ballofwrecks
shouldn't it be ''align to the sun align to the sun warp warp warp''
I love how everyone seems to either respect the hell out of RnK, or absolutely hate them. Suppose that's how you know you're doing something right.
"Upgrade your clones" this takes me back.
Cmon get back ? Rookys need Their Kings !!! Its time to finish the story....Rookys can be Kings also ;)
As a man that has spent 20 years in the US navy, I have studied tactical doctrines and strategies of many nations. It was required reading to a degree. I salute the troops and commanders of RnK. Simply, they wanted to fight the good fight.
They knew they were outnumbered and outgunned yet devised a cunning strategy that fit what ships they had and the numbers they had to do the most damage as quickly possible. They laid the traps and patently waited to spring them.
As I think back to my military days I remember these words from The Art of War By Sun Tzu.
~ All warfare is based on deception.
~Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.
~Hold out baits to entice the enemy. Feign disorder, and crush him.
~Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected.
Simply put, RnK as taken The Art of War to a whole new battleground, even though it is Cyberspace.

"It is always more effective to show someone the fire before setting them alight"
What a line...
that force field rights revoke trick was beautiful
indeed! is this still possible?
+AAAAAAAARRGHH no it was fixed shortly after i think
Unless this has been changed pretty damn recently, Yes. The trick still works.
If you and your buddies are sat in the safety of a tower with its forcefield live.
Revoke access to forcefield and watch your speedometer fly up as newtonian physics take a backseat.
hawkwreak As newtonian physics take a backseat...I liked that part, nice. :)
The Imagination alone of all those hundreds of faces with their chins falling down when all their prey getting away fully unharmed is priceless 😍
Ok probably one of the most hardcore awesome line I've ever heard "It is always more effective to show someone the fire before setting them alight." Holy crap that is a fantastic line. Freaking goosebumps all over.
The laughter even after losing entire fleets astounds me, being able to crack jokes and enjoy even being completly dominated, one of the things i love about games!
+1, well said !
TheBlueEyedGamer Wingnut those players were probably regular PvPers to be joking like that so easily. Or they were pleasantly surprised and reacted out of respect for the skill of their enemy. There's always a certain respect amongst most players in the game, and the best players are usually the most humble due to years of great experience. That is, unless you join some type of politically corrupt corp or alliance that's not really doing anything beneficial for themselves or the game. If you know of the Titan Madness, you'll you what I mean.
Since i wrote this comment, ive seen both ends of fights, sometimes the GF's people send are full of anger that they lost, sometimes its just in pure joy of the fun.
We all respect eachother. outside of the insults, the smacktalk, the backstabbing, We LOVE that someone has come to give us an interesting time, Whether we win or lose.
I get mad when i lose. but then i smile, laugh, and carry on :D
Also Jacob Lucero, Titan madness?
Arnt we all mad?
We dropped their loot off at the military headquarters.
when your in a huge coalition,pvp is going to be mainly what your doing, killing ships and losing ships is all part of the game,null sec players you will always see laugh about losses where as low sec and high sec players are usually the ones to moan about losses,at least that is what iv experienced in this game
So. I was flying in a CFC Hurricane fleet yesterday, and this one guy brought a Machariel. I looked for his name so I could call him out in chat, and to my surprise it was a familiar one. GoldSnake. I checked his employment history and there was several years in Farilight (an R&K member corp). The R&K Titan pilot who had the honor of hitting the big red button of a pipebomb. I talked to the guy, and apparently he sold the character to a Goon. I don't know why, but it was very sad and moving to see it. Just, "Long ago, he was great. He was a part of a legend. He was the fist of the greatest weapon that has ever existed in online gaming." and now it's just a name. Even if it was the same physical toon that did these things, he is dead now. It's like talking to a man who introduces himself with the last name of an ancient line of rulers. But in reality, despite my awe and hope, he shares no more with them than his name.
o7
+Galileo Gaming that is sad indeed. Greatness to mediocrity.
Bobaa Fett
And that you should use a titan pilot to fly a normal BS...
+Galileo Gaming i saw him on sisi and found out it was not the original. i would rather see that account collect dust than see a goon fly it. so sad.
luthoriousOG
Pretty sure this was the original account that I saw. He had a lot of time in one of the main R&K corps.
i meant not the original person behind the character. it is the original account
14:23 "Mang?" - "What?" - "I blame you!"
This brings back memories of how we always blamed Mang whenever something went wrong on RvB roams. He got so annoyed sometimes it was hillarious.
These were the days... Hard to imagine it's been almost 10 years since then. Time flies, and god only knows I wish we could all go back. It was so much fun getting off of work and jumping on EVE for hours at a time, I spent over 6 years playing that game and don't regret one single moment of it. From my earliest days micromanaging skills to get as many ticked off as possible while mining Veldspar in .9 space to finishing off my last Battleships 5 skill. EvE will always be the pinnacle of what I played, as a gamer.
As a non-EVE player, this was incredible to watch. I had to Google a few terms that went unexplained, but the rest was really well-done and it felt like following a really well constructed narrative. Thanks for such a great video!
The preeminence of Rooks and Kings PVP in New Eden is unchallenged ! If ever there is a group of people in ANY game so worthy and deserving of the title " The Elite ", surely that title would belong to every single member of Rooks and Kings. You capsuleers are what make me play Eve, and though only recently discovering the universe of New Eden, what make me damn sure I devote all my time in Eve to eventually join your prestigeous ranks .Your movies inspire greatness as your tactics inspire apperception! For my Eve ambition is to achieve the honor that is Rooks and Kings!
well said, /salute

Fantastically produced. Closer to a documentary than a watch as we pew pew, always a pleasure to watch a RnK production.
This video released 2 years before i started playing and yet was on of the first I got shown. It's 3 years now and still you hear the name rooks and kings in many many fleets. You guy made yourself legends and I don't think this legend will die until eve does and maybe not even then.
Story: 10/10
Presentation: 10/10
Grinning while watching: 10/10
FUCKING EPICNESS: 11/10
Long live The Expert.
My hats off to you guys for strategic, operational, and tactical brilliance in the face of overwhelming odds. You raised the bar on strategic skill for EVE, and broke the meta through sheer innovation. It really does you credit that merely spotting a single RnK ship of any kind causes panic and doubt for an entire armada that has no force capable of matching it in the area.
I stopped playing EVE years ago, and I will always watch these RnK videos with great admiration of their ingenuity prowess. It's guys like this that hold together a game, to always offer new perspective of warfare. May blob warfare die, and tactful skirmishes live long. True incarnation of mind over matter.
Gods. It's almost enough to make a fellow re-sub. Beautiful on so many levels. I started this vid and said oh hell no, I'm not watching an hour of this. And now it's over and I must have more.
Exactly like me. Was thinking okay let's see the first 5 minutes and then move forward... but in the end watched it all. :P
I haven't played in almost 2 years now, it might be time to re-think that. A lot has changed, but I lived in Providence during the events of this video, and fondly remember some of the drama played out. I might not have any friends left, but combat bookmarks are forever...
Possibly the best Eve video ever made. I won Eve a few years ago and I still find myself coming back to CC4 and CC3, watch them for the full hour they last, and literally cry everitiem.
This popped up in my feed today, and I couldn't resist watching it again. Oh the nostalgia! New Eden will always hold a special place in my heart.
The Starburst is still to this day one of the most genius escape moves Ive ever seen.
Awesome Movie. I'm a -7- member and we appreciate all the help from you guys on the never ending waves of reds that come our way. We are the few fighting the many. Keep up the good work.
Fly Peanut's Channel greetings
its been years and I still love these movies. if your still reading these comments, your movies for me any way will always be the best Eve movies ever made.
Outstanding video as always guys. I was more than happy to spend an hour watching that. The Clarion Call series is so special. Thanks for the effort put in here. I got killed by an R&K fleet during the battles in Provi (prior to them assisting us) and met Maldoror in a system a couple of days later. I congratulated him on his victory and he was as professional and awesome as I hoped. Was one of my favourite moments in Eve.
While i can't see myself returning to the game i still visit this gem of a video atleast once a year. Excellent editing, superb writing.
The Clarion Call series are historic in every sense of the word. I was active in Providence, Cloud Ring, and Syndicate during the era documented here and I get chills every time I revisit these films. The endless hours we spent staging, assembling, and sitting on titans. All worth it when the fight was finally on, as short lived as it always seemed. It was a rush like no other. Even when you whelped into RnK.
Once again, the wait was long for a full-length feature, but the reward was more than worth it. As ever, this was a classic example of clear narration that distilled cutting-edge EvE tactics into a form easily comprehensible by newbies and veterans alike. I've never gone beyond a trial account in EvE myself, but I never have any trouble understanding what's going on in these videos.
I especially love the hilarious but tasteful poking of fun at the victim FCs.
Hopefully Lord, Mesh, Gold, John and other great people like one particular Swed, still play and keep things together. This video made me remember things i've already forgot, made me laugh really hard. I drink to you, friends, cheers! / Portable Decoy
I miss you, Mr Portable Decoy ♥
I've never even played Eve Online, but I find your videos fascinating.
Same here. Maybe when I have the money and a good enough computer I'll play it.
eve can be run on really low end machines, the graphics scale up quite a lot though but since it was made in 2003 it can be run on bad machines if you turn stuff down
GROGOLOG Believe me, my computer can hardly run anything. The reason I haven't tried the trial properly is because I can hardly run it and it ran at about 5 frames a second.
I occasionally get reminded of this video and come back to it even after six years. It's still the most engaging video about eve I have ever seen. I miss playing at times but you can't do anything like this anymore.
The most epic sci-fi movie I have had the pleasure to watch in YEARS! This is Iain M. Banks-style space opera at its finest. Fantastic. Never stop, RnK.
I've watched this numerous times over the years and I'm always brought to tears of laughter. This was brilliant and so well executed. Just have to admire the ingenuity of the whole thing.
This is a great piece of cine work. You chose your narrator perfectly. The work to pull all the audio and video clips together is fantastic! Thanks for sharing this.
I wish to say THANK YOU(!!!!!!) to whoever made this. This was great, and the best Eve Online video I have watched. My computer is not smart enough to play this game but I like to watch the vids. With the virus keeping me cooped up, I am able to bing watch. This was the most enjoyable video I have watched of any stripe. Thank you so vary much.

"I come out of warp in HED... Wait a minute..." LOLL
still beautiful all this years after. this is eve in perfection.
It's not often I watch a one+ hour video on TH-cam in its entirety.... but damn the production and comedic value in this is just awesome.
Thank you Lord and all the other R&K friends for letting me join you in a Clarion Call video.
Was an honour and a pleasure to fly with you guys.
I'll always remember you!
Fly save.
RnK videos are not tutorials......or to show off....Its just pure art. Amazing narration / Production / Story Writing
Very impressive
When Maldor said, "time waits for no-one" and the epic music swelled in the background, it really sent a shiver down my spine
As a non-EVE player. This was FUCKING OUTSTANDING!!! ... Didnt understand all the EVE slang, but understood enough to be in awe.... fucking epic :)
I only played eve for half a year back in 2012 cause I never had the time and dedication to dive deeper into it. But Videos like These always remind me that this game is one of the most breathtaking expiriences I have ever glimpsed. Ihope it will be around for a very Long time so although I don't play it myself I'm always awestruck by its community and the Storys evolving in it. Thank you for sharing this.
Always love the editing and narration of the clarion call series. Good job!
Dam... I was in FA and felt the horror of the smart bomb doctrine. Those battles were epic. I'm tingling all over my body watching this... Such awesome memories
I come from the first dvellers in EVE-Online, hardcore ex-BoB / DICE / Omega Corp / ATUK member. I quit EVE just because of this issue, people have no honor and just bring more and more people. I remember when DICE went up to help PA, we sat on a gate with 150 pilots for 6 hours while the cowardly enemies had over 300 pilots - they never jumped in.
I hate cowards in EVE. Back in 2004 when SA was fighting CA on a daily basis, we fought for fun, for the sake of fighting. No hotdrops, or logins - just balls-to-the-wall fighting.
So i say this with great respect. I would've loved to fight against or alongside Rooks And Kings while EVE was still fun.
***** the new jump changes will make hotdrops so much less frequent that you might enjoy eve again ;)
They are changing a lot of things concerning force projection at the moment. It should be a lot harder to hotdrop people now. Check it out. :)
You know, because picking your fights is cowardly....not like that's what happens in REAL WAR or anything.
That's BS and you know it. If DICE had those 300+ pilots, we would've jumed in on those 150 without problems.
Dreez76 You have no idea what was going on with them. For all you know they had a comms breakup and couldn't effectively communicate. Or maybe they just didn't feel like fighting. Not fighting doesn't make people cowards, it just means they didn't feel like the fight was worth the time.
I salute you for making me watch the whole hour of this story. Very well told and great footage.
Finally! You have NO IDEA how long I have waited in anticipation for this!
The legend lives on....
I have nothing but respect and awe for Rooks and Kings :)
Six and a half years on and still some of the best eve videos out there. Outstanding firm!
I now finally understand the whole video of "This is EvE-uncensored".....
"Op Success" got pipebombed ... This made my day....
Man, I do love watching RnK exploits. This video was by far the best so far. the story evolved enough that it was like watching a film. Can't wait for more. Keep evolving RnK, we love watching what crazy tactics you come up with next.
You guys always bring me the very best violence.
Than you. I thank you years later! Thank you!
Holy shit. This video was well worth the wait.
Wow long day at work come home to new RNK Clarion call vid ? Glorious !!!!!!
You sir's , i tip my hat to you.
Magnificent job as always. Shout out to LM and linkleo, good to see you guys around again
After 5 years this is still a video I show everyone interested in Eve :) This is one kickass piece of gaming cinematography :) Well done RnK...
*watches "This is EVE - Uncensored"*
*goes to re-watch a few Rooks and Kings*
*sees this video*
"HOLY SHIT YES"
Miss these Videos so much! Almost have to cry so beautifull. Brilliant
Kept this subbed for a reason. Well worth the wait. Found a good son to go with this too, Let it Rock by Kevin Rudolf. Very slick video, enjoyed every pod squishing minute of it.
I retired from Eve in 2008, but I always come back to TH-cam every few months to take a peek and see what's happening. This video is the best I've seen in a very long time. Nice work.
Well done LM.
I've scoured the internet for over a decade. Thousands upon thousands of hours logged into entertaining myself with this modern marvel. This is by far some of the best content I have ever seen.
Thank you RnK for this great video. Again I am impressed by your creativity and out the box thinking. It's awesome! Keep up the good work! Hope to see many more videos of yours :-)
RnK videos are often the catalyst that renews my drive to join the fight in New Eden once again. Though each time I join back up.. I do so with a small amount of sadness. I'll never see Rooks and Kings return as they were, if it ever happens. My Eve career started during the final years of RnK and I never got the chance to fly with or against such genius. Now I go to renew my subscription.
Great video
Yep, I waited months for this, and it goes beyond my expectations.
One of the greatest eve videos of all time.. not because rnk is awesome, but because of the work they put into the guys that are fascinating them.. VERY GJ!!
Loveeee these videos. Great for those who want to play Eve but are too lazy for the learning curve and dedication it requires. I liked 'The Roman.'
Lol thx XD
Freakin' awesome work AGAIN from the videographer at RnK. You guys make us all want to do better in Eve! Keep up the awesome work!
Waiting patiently for Clarion Call 5 ^.^ hehe
I haven't played EVE in forever, but this channel still brings back memories. Excellent work RnK, enjoyable to watch as always.
51:11 "user left your channel"
i think someone ragequit
Not really. they probably died and just didn't need to be in comms anymore.
Cat Faber: There will never be a better song about Eve Online than Providence Skies. This video just sold me an album.
ohhh fuck yea! been waiting along time for this one!
Dude this guy's voice is so epic, such a good narrator. I can watch all his videos a day and I never get bored of it!
I scream like a little school girl whenever I see a new Clarion Call RnK video in my subs! Nice job as always fucking love this shit!
Rooks and kings. Best eve has ever seen. All tactics and skill , not just numbers
Varus. Oh Varus, give me back my legions!
Amazing video.
No matter how often I watch this, I still find it fascinating, and hugely entertaining.
The system they mentioned... Poitot.. did you know that's the only named system in Syndicate?
Really tell me more .
Someone should do a survey to see how many actually know this.
Who cares?
Cojpe well clearly not you...oh wait you must have cared a little to leave the comment.
I just can't figure how that is worth to be mentioned. Was expecting more like "pipe bombing is gay" type of comments :)
I've just come across this channel because of the post on Eve forums doing the 2015 roundup and have to say your videos are an excellent watch! Having left Eve a good few years ago I still have many fond memories of flying in small nano skirmish groups back in the northern war era.
I look forward to going through the rest of your videos and eagerly await any new content you bring out.
This guy should be payed for doing this.
+Bandit Leader
if he has applied for monopolization...
Bandit Leader
nope. yt doesn't just send u money. they can't. they need your personal, bank info etc. u need to apply for it.
+Bandit Leader We have never monetized any of our videos. Eve is where I spend money, not make money :)
+Bandit Leader We have never monetized any of our videos. Eve is where I spend money, not make money :)
Lord Maldoror
u should! they are professional grade documentaries bro!
Rooks and kings brings the best from online gaming all the time! Love ya guys!
"The jaws of the assembled horde"
Love this.
This is what EVE pilots do as a labor of love. That amount of talent behind developing the game and playing the game is off the charts. There is no player community like it.
One must love the french guys. "We dropped the loot at the Military HQ" :)
That was awesome.
Again, Rooks and Kings show not only their incredible piloting skill, but also their ability to make a story feel real and intense. A masterpiece of a Video. I myself can sadly not afford a standard account, but hopefully I will at least get a glimpse of the game. If you are still out there and are still fighting the odds, PLEASE do a Clarion Call 5. Cheers and o7 for your awesome videos!
The Budgie Admiral good news! eve is going free to play on the 15th so you can try it out for as long as you'd like
That's so awesomely narrated and edited - makes it even more badass.
Best video ever , best game ever, best pvp ever,
Agreed.
I only played Eve for a relatively short time compared to some others here but I periodically come back to watch these amazing videos predating my Eve career (And eventual winning of Eve). So cool, such high stakes, such good times.
Perfection as ever.
Still can sit and watch the thing in entirety after seeing it 10 times already. Just well done.
I miss more epic videos of Rooks and Kings! Stop hiding in the wormhole
+Sagara Sousuke actually they dont have any corp in wh's anymore
I said Wormhole because they are quiet and hiding from TH-cam, i didn't mean it literally
