That is an awesome old school MMO story right there.

<Silent Redemption> was the top guild on Brell. I can't remember exactly when they took over, but they were on top for 6 - 7 years.

I remember <Magister> was top on Emarr. I'm not sure if that was during classic or if that was slightly after. I think you had to have cable/DSL instead of dial up as one of the requirements.

I played on BB and was in Circle of Legends until the end of PoP. It was a pretty competitive raid scene. I recall guild leaders (Pouty) Club Fu and (Vabeeker?) Arch Overseers didn't like each other much and was a good source of server drama weekly. AO faded away, I don't really remember why and after that it was pretty much Club Fu, Ring of Valor and Circle of Legends.

After PoP I have no idea.

I was on Druzzil Ro and it was very top heavy. Vindication (Seekers,Township Rebellion whatever they were that week changed names a lot), Hoss, Mythic Legion, L’malla, Valiant Elite, Novus Invictus. Hoss/Vindication/Mythic Legion were the top 3 guilds up till Luclin when Vindication transfered to The Ledgends server and changed to Township Rebellion. Server had a pretty good rotation going at the top end until Hoss woke the sleeper and everything went FFA. Hoss still has the forums up where you can read through all the old arguments.

I played on AB even though I’m American. I remember many good guilds but the ones that stuck in my mind were Tide, Raging Fury, D’Pikey, Shadows of Doom. Some damn good guilds

...
 

I played on rallos zek until LDoN - The Top raiding guild was without question <Ascending Dawn> but <Wudan> and <Magus Imperalis Magicalis> weren't far behind. I believe MiM eventually went on to gain the upper hand, but that was after my time.

Funfact, it was AD and Wudan and my own second tier raiding guild, <Seekers of Divinity> that were the first to kill the sleeper, on any server.

Solusek Ro was HoSS - VVV - Paradigm & Magna Carta - > merge with Bristlebane rip Paradigm eventually

Was a sweet server till bristlebane!

Dragon Council had a bad reputation? I don't remember that for some reason... Then again it was a long time ago and I was pretty young. I can certainly say we had some great people and great players in the guild.

<Divine> and <Prophecy> were the top 2 early on. Divine ended up fizzling out and eventually <Phantom Raiders> showed up and became the strongest guild at least Velious-PoP.

Honorable mention to <Order of the Scattered Winds> who really grew in strength and had many awesome races against Dragon Council.

We also had the greatest leveling guild of all time <Guardians of the Mossy Log>

Yeah, that’s right. I remembered CTV but for the life of me couldn’t come up with Valon. Was bothering the sh#* out of me.
