I'll tell you a story. It's a true story. When I played live, it was on the Fennin Ro server. That is the original home of the very TMO guild you reference. I played from 1999 to 2003. During my playtime and beyond, TMO ruled over Fennin Ro. And when I say they ruled, it didn't matter if they were farming the top monsters of expansion X. They still back tracked to raid monsters in past expansions and original EQ. You either used your current guild as a stepping stone into TMO to see endgame in Everquest, or you just didn't get access to the content you paid $12 a month for.
When I joined P99 in June and visited the forums, I had a good laugh. Looks like some of the old members of TMO came to P99 to relive their glory days, after all, WoW humbled many of them as players.
TMO was not run off the server without a reason. They were run off the server because they wanted to create the same choke hold over content on red that they had blue. THE DIFFERENCE HERE IS THAT RED COULD FIGHT THEM BACK AND STOP THAT FROM HAPPENING!
People not in the top guilds of blue have multiple threads of being denied even the chance to experience end game. They would've killed for the chance to even the playing field against a guild like, TMO. Red has such a great story of the players preventing an invading force that sought to consume their world. Doesn't that make for a great story in an MMORPG?
Happy to have this new member join our server and offer an honest review of the community.
EDIT
Forgot a word.

I was there through all of that. I remember hearing about TMO, but not in any soul crushing way. But then, I wasn't in a guild that was competing for top end. We rarely saw them in our circles.
