Just how much of a "big deal" was Fires of Heaven back in the day?

[Safon]

I read an offhand comment about them in RnF today, and seem to recall hearing the name elsewhere on these forums as well. Were they some legendary guild during live? Anyone got a quick history lesson on what they did and why they were so famous?

It's interesting how a guild's name can live on in fame or infamy, I kinda miss having IB around. As a newb here they held a certain lofty image. Reminded me of my server's elite on live.

Anyways just curious about what history throughout live I missed (pre PoP, before the game died)

I think afterlife and FoH were the top guilds for game firsts

[Silverain]

Most of the original firsts revolved around FoH and AL, and a couple other guilds. And Furor was big, among other GL's, about posting cutting edge stuff on their page that may or may not have gotten encounters/bugs etc looked at rather quick. He also went on to work with/still work with? Blizzard with WoW I think. I remember I used to like readin their pages on new stuff just cause my guild wasn't quite cutting edge, but we got there eventually.

Mith Marr was my home server AL used to rape everything they were pretty legit.

Not nearly as big of a deal as the people P99 claim to be. :P

FoH used to be pretty good. Now they just read like reddit.

lol. you jealous? They were the only big name guild that didn't play on my server that I had heard of before the Rathe Council stuff.

As far as top everquest guilds of all time go, you can't not mention them. Everyone knew who they were.

There were three strong guilds on Mith Marr. AL was only slightly ahead of the other two, and they had better pr. (I'm referring to early times).

Afterlife was top, North America based, just behind was Forsaken Realm, Europe based, and Team Japan (they were more an amalgamation of guilds that raided together).

I mean big enough that I heard of them and visited their website as a midlevel player on a different server
