Just how much of a "big deal" was Fires of Heaven back in the day?

I played on veeshan when I first started (which was shortly after beta ended) and remember them having quite the reputation. I don't know when afterlife came around, but at least in the beginning it seemed like FoH wasn't just the best uber guild in the game, it seemed like they invented the concept of an uber guild. I never even heard the name afterlife until a year or two into playing. These guys took, and still take gaming quite seriously. If you visit their website and look at what the requirements are to join it's pretty crazy. Definitely only for the most dedicated.
