Seemed to hit a nerve there to get this much interest.
Seems like there's a story to be told there.

Eh it's just a shame that the thematic RP potential wasn't fully realized by the guild and instead it seemed to be reduced to what ends up in RNF.
Few guilds have managed to add in that part of classic nostalgia, simply by including self-imposed restrictions; requirements that fit a specific, immediately identifiable theme; etc.
This was prevalent in 1999, but has been largely absent on these servers, with the overall atmosphere being more MMO and less RPG. Granted, the latter is at times awkward and excessive. When done right though, without walls of text, there's something about it that changes interactions for the better. Ninik was a good example.
As cool as it is seeing full BiS or learning about the new meta/emergent gameplay amid so much jank, there's that other aspect of the game that's still there, lingering in the scenery while players sock windows and strafe for FTEs. The original idea behind the game, however dated.
