Hello, im bored and need something to do. So im creating this server history, almanac style. Im drawing this all completely from a very alcohol damaged memory, so bear with me, there will be things wrong. Feel free to correct me, or give suggestions on anything i need to add. Bicrius shoves dildo's in his mother's anus.
The information here is attempted to be purely factual, and not based on opinion at all. It would defeat the purpose any other way. Basically im making this because there have been so many topics started here along the lines of "Who did xxx first" "Whos the top guild" etc. Im also in the middle of writing a history of Legacy of Sorrow for the LoS.net site, which is all about glory and my obviously biased viewpoint, so putting things down in cold hard facts seemed like it might be some fun too.
Enjoy it. I know its not my usual "work", so if you dont, kiss my ass.
GUILDS
Guild Succession
A basic history of the guilds of Luclin, concerning the lineage and progression. Not concerning individuals outside leadership. The guilds listed here are the guilds I have knowledge of, if you'd like to add history of another guild, post here, in a similar style to my own if possible, and I will get the guild listed. Refer to the "Server Almanac, Guild Histories" thread for any comments and/or additions to the list.
1. Legacy of Sorrow line
Sorrow`s End ~~> Legacy of Sorrow ~~> (Veil of Shadows)
Sorrow`s End formed on Day 1 of Luclin (January 15(?), 2000), comprised mostly of players from the Karana Server, lead by Thermy (later Sorrow`s and Xeoo), Brizah and Neku. Leveled quickly and recruited heavily from other early high level guilds (Philosoma, Four Corners of Sorcery, Collegue of the Sanctuary). After establishing top guild status with server firsts, Neku forms Legacy of Sorrow (June 2000) after disagreement over leadership with Thermy. Legacy of Sorrow continues through the Kunark Era on top (server-first wise), and grows gradually in numbers. After disagreement with Neku, Xylian leaves LoS with Aililie and forms Veil of Shadows (December 2000). LoS remains on top (again, PvE server-first wise) throughout the Scars of Velious Era, and Shadows of Luclin Era. Large takes over most leadership responsibility in the middle of Velious through the beginning of Shadows of Luclin. Nagumo leads from the end of Luclin to the middle of Planes of Power. Sever becomes LoS' second leader in title during PoP (January 2003). Iggnatius becomes third leader 3 months after Sever. Legacy of Sorrow disbands May 28, 2003.
2. Triad Continuum Line
Triad Continuum ~~> (Apex) ~~> Endorean ~~> (Five Rings)
Triad Continuum formed on or about Luclin Day 1 (January 15, 2000), comprised mostly of players from the Bertoxxulous Server, lead by Odomora. Triad establishes themselves as the number two guild behind Legacy of Sorrow in terms of PvE kills. Early in Kunark, disgruntled members leave and form Apex (August, 2000), lead by Tumble in title, and Wang physically, also had members from Paradigm of Blood and Ascendance contributed to the leadership core as well. Triad is weakened but remains intact. Apex contends for top spot with Legacy of Sorrow, and take the Plane of Sky server-first clearing. Early into the Scars of Velious expanison (approx. January 2001), Apex's top leadership retire from EverQuest, Tumble disbands the guild, and the members are spread between retirement, joining Legacy of Sorrow, reforming under the name Endorean (Guild name formerly belonging to Torlack, Deeva and Amberyll), or in some cases returning to Triad Continuum. Triad reestablishes number 2 status for a short period of time, while Endorean slowly rebuilds what they lost in Apex. Ransom splits from Endorean (I could be dead wrong on this, but I think i have it right), and forms Five Rings (previously a Hawaiian based guild). Triad gradually loses power as Endorean gradually becomes stronger. By the end of the Shadow's of Luclin Era, Endorean has established themselves as the number 2 guild, while Triad continues to wain. Triad Continuum all but disbands early in the Planes of Power Era, Five Rings wavers in the middle of the high end guilds, as Endorean takes the top spot from Legacy of Sorrow with server firsts such as Rallos Zek, Solusek Ro and Fennin Ro.
3. Insidious Blood Line
Circle of Magic + (other guilds, need help here) ~~> Insidious Blood
I dont have much to add here, other than Circle of Magic and some other original server guilds condensed into Insidious Blood, and were lead by Bolak. Legacy of the Chosen also for the most part merged with Insidious Blood later on, I need dates and more info here.
4. Asura Line
Hyakka Ryoran ~~> Asura
Japs, they tear things up with low numbers. Lol, need help here too.
5. The Tiarc Line
Tiarc ~~> Tiarcs ~~> Sacred Sanctuary ~~> (Five Rings to some extent)
Not sure at all on how Tiarc was started, I cant even really remember their leaders. After Apex disbanded, a good chunk of them left for a reformed Tiarc (now known as Tiarcs), then once again reformed as Sacred Sanctuary. I BELIEVE that after SS was disbanded, many ended up in Ancient Crusade or Five Rings. Need more info here.
6. The Line of the Nut
Nuggets of Justice ~~> Tallards
ALL PRAISE THE NUT!
Guild Standings Through Expansions
Based solely on the speed of progression through the expansions.
Everyone did everything together in a hippy hand holding festival that saw the demise of every mob ever. We are the greatest!
Notable Server Firsts
Not much to put here, basically Sorrow`s End/Legacy of Sorrow had every server first from Lord Nagafen through Aten Ha Ra. Apex was the first to clear Plane of Sky and kill Gorenaire. Legacy of Sorrow had server firsts on Agnarr the Storm Lord and Lord Mithaniel Marr in PoP, Endorean holds every other major first in PoP.
