Having been in the tail end of Nihlium before their implosion and Empire/Holocaust from Late Kunark to basically every velious 1st but AoW and Sleeper (happened when I quit due to the sheer boredom of velious kcicked in)

I can say that most of core in Nihlium at the time I was in it were unbearable people. Bad attitudes. Always talked big of themselves. I remember vaporize telling people how good he was at the game then as you become more familiar with eq and pvp you realize how average he really is, if not quite poor. Just see the video where he is keyboard turning and has jboots/sow in 3rd or 4th slot??? This from a "pro"...and this dude was basically 2nd incharge and controller of the rmt scheme that was Nihlium.

Empire/holocuast had a nicer core without a doubt.. and I really think this is what drove the sucess of the guild. I never gave to shats about gear myself. Only ever got frustrated over 2 items so that comment isnt laced with a weighed opinion because of gear attainment.

I distinctly remember Colgate helping getting peoples corpses after a raid in ToV before he logged off vrs seeing Nizzar letting people die in trak tunnels after "rushing / camping" to juggs and then leaving them there because they were people that didn't know the way/died and were only apps/new players.

This example alone speaks volumes of the leadership type in both guilds.

Cyren was a nice dude in Empire and really helped the whole offpeak people have things to do...till he got really bitter in Apex/his dislike for people in Empire.

In my experience most people that have a hard on for Nizzar liked him because they were there when the gear flowed, not because he was a nice person.

Most of us wanted to have fun, troll each other and get a kick outta reliving eq/experiencing a new type of EQ with PvP. It was when people started to get bitter and controlling when I personally switched off.
