How was Quiet Solitude the #1 guild on xev?
Harmonium was top guild and Altera Vita was second all the way from Velious through the merger that ended Xev. Harm went back to Povar a few months before Xev was merged into DRO, and during that time AV was the only guild raiding basicly at the end game.
You could argue that Old Continent passed AV around the end of PoP, but they were a Euro guild and don't count (**ducks**).
You could also argue that for a short while Grey Council was on par with Harm and AV when they all came over from Povar together but GC faded out (despite being great folks) when they whole raiding portion of the guild left Xev when the Euro server opened...later on GC folded and became Null. Null got the ball rolling around Luclin iirc, but was never able to catch up to Harm, AV, and OC...most of the raiding members of Null eventually went to one of the other guilds.
Seofon (created by Frackus) from the ashes of Socratic Method and Pover-Tarew Artisans hung in there and prob wins the prize because they were one of the few guilds to transition from old school EQ and stay stable all the way down (I think they are still going on live). Hawkestone was never a top guild, but earned fame for waking the sleeper on Xev, at the time I believe it was the last live server that had never woken sleeper.
I'm sure QS was a great guild...but #1 on Xev? No chance.
