No, technically Awakened from Darkenbane "won" discord. He had a mob named after him I think. The highest level character on the server at the end was Apostle, a 44 HE Cleric, also from Darkenbane.

yea the thing about that is to just not trust anyone and roll solo

I led some stragglers fighting Darkenbane but most of them died out. And like the seaweedpimp says, people were scared shitless to even engage in pvp. We had a huge mexican standoff between our two sides on opposite zones of the gfay/bb zoneline that lasted hours. Nobody wanted to lose all of their shit.

Almost everyone played passively and would gate at the soonest sign of trouble, which is why playing a cleric was useful. I would blind and stun people so they couldn't do that.

The funniest/cruelest thing was when people would die to PvE mistakes.

There was a necro named Vumil who I did play with - very good player and would have been in the winners .... but died to a bad spectre pull. Three days before the server ended.

There was a lot of PvP between the initial formation of the "anti-DB" group and the last week of the server when it was no longer worth leveling a character. It also dwindled because the "anti-DB" group did not have the healing output to succeed. Several large battles we had would end with maybe 1 or 2 deaths out of 25+ in the zone, but the deaths were almost always on our side. Strange I don't remember grouping with any other clerics during that time. I played Ysiel, a 29 human cleric until the server closed.

Discord was a fun novelty, but only because it was a sort of last hurrah for EQ PvP. SoL and PoP had ruined it, most of the better or more notorious PK's had retired, and Discord just brought everyone back for a few weeks. I'd be surprised if a new Discord would even manage 10 players logged in after a week had passed.
