Generation Black Death
Sherwood Temples - October 15, 2002
Sherwood Temples, also known as swamps, was the Sherwood before Sherwood Classic. Not a lot is known about this age, however, we do know the first established clan was a renowned clan called Black Death, of which, you could argue were the first clan ever on Sherwood. Little historical records exist of Black Death but we do know that they survived for some time as no other established clans existed. Most people spent their days joining either the red team or black team in a red vs black battle. Picture below is what Sherwood Temples looked like. Sir Gene, the creator of the game, actively spent a lot of time playing the game along side the players.

Fall of Classic
Scarred by depopulation through these stages, Sherwood Classic fell.
In 2006 Sherwood Dungeon entered open beta and the shift from Classic to Dungeon began. Sherwood Dungeon offered a noticeable improvement over classic with its graphics, multiple teleports and a new fighting system which relied on blocking. As a result of which the old Classic “angling” and “combo” systems were discarded and a new era began for clans and fighting.
