fennin ro was the name of the beta server also, might of been one reason

I can't believe people don't remember guild wars. I thought it wasn't in P99 b/c of coding difficulties.

Just because it was published in a written document doesn't mean it's reflecting actual game mechanics or was implemented... I don't think a book scan is evidence of the need to change a game mechanic.

Guild wars could easily be implemented and was classic, someone has even made a jerry rigged code for it on the eqmu forum archives, but at the time it came up I think the response I got was that it was intentionally left out for whatever reason (probably because its just going to cause people to not log in due to fear of grief i would speculate)

You can see server populations if you check the Internet Archive for sites like Everlore back then.

I wonder what Chat Server was :)

Only time I ever went to Chat was when there was a problem. Otherwise, I was killing stuff.

Oh yeah, when servers were down, Chat room would fill up with angry players... you could cut tension with a knife!

Nobody else actually used /guildwar? I wasn't a leader so I don't know the in-game interface, but basically you'd declare war on another guild and a time limit would be set up that both sides agreed to. It was active in all zones and guards would not intervene (I remember us throwing down/getting slaughtered throughout both Highkeep zones and N/S Karanas). It was a little fun but mostly terrible.. basically had to go /anon in order to avoid gank squads of high-levels crushing the mid-teens Exp groups.
