Yes. The culture was also different. On Blue I leveled a Cleric to level ~30 and hated it, quit and re-rolled a Shaman. Got to Level 34 and then a friend and I went to the Manastone camp. There was one guy there. He got a Manastone and then handed it off to us. We got one Manastone each and handed it off to the next person. There was plenty of players capable of holding that camp 20 hours a day, but there was no interest in that. Penoy famously was bound at the camp so whenever he died on raid or anything he would kill the EE before getting rezzed if that camp wasn't taken. Hah.
I didn't play enough on Green to get to that point, but I was around when the /list was announced. I assume it was a pretty greedy affair.
I actually think I would win the character age competition in this thread. My Cleric was originally rolled with my forum name "Wenai". We were worried about people trying to troll and steal our forum names so Nilbog let me log in to my player account like 10 minutes early to secure my name. I logged off and waited for the server to unlock just like everyone else, but the character creation happened probably about 10 minutes before server opened.
That character received a lot of CSR requests and server complaints so I ended up getting a name change down the road anyways.

"Penoy" is Freeze and he lives not too far from me, friends with him on FB still. He was just bound there and would check it constantly.
I'm Magic, probably one of the oldest characters on here as I was playing here even in beta. Quit for a while after Nilbog deleted my Broom of Trilon (server first) because Temple of Sol Ro wasn't supposed to be open. Came back and they had changed my mage's name for some reason. Got my druid to 50, his name was "halfling" and then they changed it to "Deputy" -- all of my characters had lowercase names.
I got a GM banned because i showed him how to do the Tumpy Tonic quest with the koala nuts and he did it repeatedly to get 50 in like a night, lol. Pretty sure his name was Tantalar or something, he was a ranger. [Edit]:
Good read here. Blink was a dude I played with pretty frequently back then, but never got personal and he just kind of disappeared. Apparently someone in his circle had working MacroQuest with ghost hack (attack/kill any mob in the zone from any distance, flying etc). There were a few monks that were pretty sus, which this would explain it.
Reiker and pals were leveling up when me and spoolie and evo were already level 30. They made a guild called Rusty Long Swords which then became Fine Steel Long Swords. I was holding the EE camp and let Reiker and Zexa come down while my pet was soloing EE. Stone dropped, they begged in mumble for me to give it to Zexa since "she's a cleric bro she needs it not u" and Zexa said she'd give it back one day. Never did of course. Reiker then proceeded to get banned for using ShowEQ and some other radar stuff. They all used it.
I remember when Jeremy rolled here. He exploited the jewelcrafting recipes and became rich overnight.
Half of TMO got banned for some RMT scandal and most of my friends quit around that time. Server used to be dope, slowly turned into a popularity contest along with weird inner guild politics where people probably let guild leaders bang their wives for loot. Sad tbh
