I can count on one hand how few people were a pleasant experience to raid with in DA,while VD/DA co-raided sky. It was so bad in fact I even tried to push VD leadership to team up with TMO to let DA die the death it should have had, and not keep it on life support. Zereh was on top of the list of cool people to deal with.
The day TMO/VD bitch slapped IB and DA at inny, I thought it could be a making of wonderful things. Then the sadness started and the shitbags from DA split up and joined TMO and IB and made it worse over all. Dealing with both those guilds before Kunark was pure bullshit. Divinity, Transendence, VD, TMO couldn't go a day without some bs coming from a DA or TR/IB member.
And how anyone could follow Durison or much of their leadership then allow him to be Co-leader of TMO is simply amazing. I was pretty annoyed with a good handful of friends in TMO who just sat back and took that crap. Hell even Alarti and I got along for a time period and he even asked me to join TMO. Even VD dealing with most of IB ( some people were pretty cool, just like in DA) was just as bad on some levels.
I could never get over Nizzar the monotone talking computer with no emotion or personal connection in vent. Then having Ledzepp cry over loot from Gorglask and pleaded with me so he could have the back-straps. I felt so bad for him, I decided why not this dude sounds like he's about to kill himself, it was that bad. Add that in with having to listen to Dalthab in vent and his condescending tone. As soon as he would log in during DA/VD and IB/VD co raids I would just afk. This guy can be summed up by this clip

He would fuck up draco/cazic races all the time vs TMO or DA/Fusion then fucking rage and blame everyone else. It was one of the funniest things I would hear in vent during my time on P99.
I would say the server over all is better than when DA and TR were running free back in the day. Even during TMO-VD/IB co raids never made the server worse than those two guilds did.
