which doesn't state anything clearly but I would probably concede y'all had server firsts on a couple things, I did find some evidence that by Oct 2000 3 guilds on FR had killed Venril Sathir - HoC, Sacred Frye, and TMO, but I could not find which one was first.
a couple things that should be noted for everyone
1) silverwing down thread dated Nov 25th 2000, is approx a week and a half or so before velious was released. Took you from April to basically velious launch to down probably the easiest vp dragon, I know it's back in the day it wasn't as easy as it is now but still having a server first on a shitty server isnt much to brag about.
2) This is the more interesting point to me, but from a little extra digging and seen on the link above Fennin Ro server used a
Raid Calender!!! haha. From what I've been able to gather about it any interested guild posted there intentions in regards to what boss they wanted to kill and then were given the opportunity when there date range came around.
Quoting from another archived thread -
" The planes are booked for the entire month already. Yes, the ENTIRE month. SFy has at least 2 planes a week, and many of the younger guilds are starting thier plane raids." - Stonecloud
from what I can tell there were 3 guilds on FR all pretty equal when it came to progression and they gravitated toward a Non-FFA system and instead preferred a raid calender setup
very hardcore Zeelot, very hardcore.
