Guild History, what's yours?

Cool post, was interesting to read and think back through the years.

For me from Tarew Marr-Drinal:

Riders of the Storm
Black Company
Numinous
Awakened
Pak'Cafan

I played with Defiant Exodus on Emarr back in the day as Treage the cleric

My memory has never been great so have no dates but..

Venril Sathir/Antonius Bayle
Crystal Spirits was my first guild around 2000/2001
New Dawn Ascended
Dawnraiders
Darkwind
Raging Fury

Virolon the mage, later main changed to Brilhasti, Wizard.

What's up Sand! Kumaddara and I (Gudor) are playing on Oakwynd. Look us up if you are online.

Magister - 1 tanked Vishimtar for serverwide 2nd

Cestus Dei - TSS serverwide 4th

Triality - ?

Realm of Insanity (1/14/13 to present) -
- 11 of RoI's 14 expansion wins
- Plane of War - The Brothers Zek 1st, 2nd, 3rd, & only prenerf kills
- 1 tanked UEE for serverwide 1st & 2nd

Started on Solusek Ro which merged into Bristlebane. Enjoyed my time in various guilds.
Chevaliers de la Vengeance, Knights of Nobility, Clan Donald, Heroes of Myth. Left in 2006 for 12 years and came back and joined Bristlebane Alliance, then I joined the Dark Reign which I am presently in.

Many good times and friends were made.

Been in the same guild sine 2003, In fact its the only guild I have ever been in. Well unless if you count when our guild leader got really drunk and Deleted Ethereal Coven , which forced me and some of the other officers to reform under the name Ring of the Dragon Hearts (Always hated that name but they would not accept Flatulent Coven). We used to do lots and have around 700 members now its dwindled down to less than 10 id say.

I started playing in 2000. My first EQ character was (and still is) a member of Ad Infinitvm - originally on Mith Marr, and on Bertox today.

The fun was on Vallon Zek with:
Ogres Fer Ogres - the funniest group of fatties that ever roamed Norrath
Erudite Death Squad - lean, mean and lethal to PCs and NPCs alike.

I really miss Vallon Zek. If a team PvP server starts up again, I'll be on it in a second.

22 years ago was born on XEV only one guild, OoD (Order of Draconis). Then after the merger been in Champions of Norrath since with a few breaks of playing in there.

Really miss some of the old toons I used to play with and the old guilds we used to chase for raids. AV, Harmonium, etc. EQ was really fun back in the day, very different from now.

After The Nameless created space and time, they looked to the future and saw that heroes would arise on Norrath. They created the guild Omani Winter for the best of these and knew that one day the heroes would join it. That day has come and now the greatest heroes of all space and time are members.

The end.

Started EQ in 1999 on Povar, took a break 2005? - 2022.

I've only been in a few guilds, and all on the Povar->Xev->...->Xegony line of servers.

I learned about and started playing EQ via the ancient online community The Well, so we all made <The Well> guild not too long after launch. By today's definitions we were a casual guild, but that wasn't even a classification back then.

As <The Well> got larger and the more ambituous some moved on to <Grey Council>, but I honestly don't rememebr if I was ever guilded there. I also met a lot of nice folks in the Euro guild <Old Continent> and was a guest SK on a few of their raids.

Later after Povar split were were on Xev as <NULL>. We had a large programmer/nerd contingent in there, and we had to lobby to keep the name but we were so happy when it was accepted. Played and raided with them through PoP, but many left from burnout when WoW started up.

Fall 2022 I came back on Xegony(Live) and after some time in the mighty <Novices of Norrath> I recently joined <Forsaken Destiny>.

This talking about a single toon or all toons you have played over the years?

Legion of the dead.
Dark Horizon
afk
ROI

What a great thread and way to remember where we came from.


Luclin -

Primeval
Endorean
Kratos
Heroes
Township Rebellion
Inverse Logic

Povar -
Triton

Xegony -
Machin Shin

Bristlelag -

Oh how the years have flown by.

I was in Riders of the Storm before I started Lions of the Heart We started on TM and server split to Xev.

I starred EQ in 1999 and joined The Tower of Hate (on Terris Thule) an all evil guild back when roll play mattered. The started allowing non evil races to join so I left and joined Bloodhorde another all evil guild. The guild slowly died as people wanted to raid and the lack of certain classes mattered more. We guest raided with The Silent Minority (on Prexus) a European guild because their earlier raid times worked well for me. We finally shut down Bloodhorde and I joined The Silent Minority in 2005. As more non-European members joined, I was made an officer to lead some US time zone raids. In 2008 I got promoted to be one of the three Guild leaders when you could get more than one Guild leader approved. The other Leaders left, and I became the sole guild leader with all three leader tags on my alts. I have been guild leader for the last 15 years as server mergers moved us to The Rathe. The Silent Minority moved up from three expansions behind to be the top raiding guild on the server as other guilds slowly died out and we caught up and started winning raids ahead of other guilds.

Veeshan server: Wayfarers of Veeshan

Luclin: Heroes, Infinite Elysium, Inverse Logic

Been playing this game way too long...

Tarew Marr:

Clan of Shadows (1999-Velious)
swodahs fo nalc (hah!)

Joined this guild because my brother worked with a founding member (Sloppy Human Warrior). My brother came home from college and showed me Everquest and thought it was very cool. Left after multiple guild failures and GL getting banned and re-geared a few times.

LET THEM WEAKEN IT!

Enrapture (Velious - Dragons of Norrath'ish)
Awakened

Enrapture had a falling out with their guild leader and reformed into The Awakened then shortened it to Awakened. The guild folded after failing on Vish due purely to numbers over and over again. Was a good group of folks and have good memories of this guild.

Drinal:
Pak'Cafan (Depths of Dark hollow - Secrets of Faydwer)

Guild Leader killed this guild after he took over, really only cared about gearing his bots. There was a mass exodus I think, but I can't remember fully.

Undivided Faith (Secrets of Faydwer - Current)

Been in UF for years, will never leave and will see the game die here. Best group of people I've ever played with, we enjoy and have fun while still being relevant in the end game (mid tier).
