i played a lot of years on Tunare, i can tell you everything about it, so can Sudz.
i know much before the Eci (and then Mayoung) merger and after.
Eci brought a huge and dedicated open style raid (not the first time for Tunare server though.

so to make it short
from classic to velious, It was Talisman who recorded their kills and had strict requirements to join and stay joined. *no idea when they were created*
from shadows of luclin through gates of discord, Talisman STILL held the top spot of the server but that was only 1 head of a three headed dragon.
Cynosure and Divine Crusade were also neck and neck.
Cynosure were that bad boys and girls and came off strong.
Divine Crusade were a great bunch of people who in their off time, hosted open raiding to key *and back flag* people of the server through planes of power though they were already farming time.
Then came GoD expansion, the content there disbanded cynosure and then soon after disbanded Divine crusade, Talisman prevailed and made it through Tacvi before Omens *need source*

Talisman Disbanded sometime around SoD
but not before we merged with Eci and public raiding became the norm. hardcore group ran from Grey Horizon and anyone could join *people sat out there was so many on some nights, alas duel raiding*

this is all the easy to see, at first glance, aspects from my many years on Tunare, there were 5 more guilds through out it all that had their spot light or added to the great community .
