That's it! Thanks! What was it's downfall? Didn't deliver?

A few things:
- Facilitated RMT. It was common to buy a character on eBay, transfer to Stormhammer, get a name change, then transfer off. GMs weren't really allowed to say no to a Legends subscriber so stuff like name changes was always granted.
- Low population. Almost everyone transferred at level 65. The server was dead outside of raids. PUGing was nearly impossible. Some soloers liked having the entire world to themselves though.
- Custom zone controversy. Legends subscribers were essentially paying to beta test zones like SolC and ChardokB, which were eventually released to the other servers. The only zone that was exclusive to Stormhammer was Marauder's Mire, which was just Erud's Crossing with different mobs.
The whole idea was just kinda ridiculous, but I'm sure it made SoE quite a bit of money.
