If anything, I actually find it more surprising how *few* old players are left. For example, I quit in Dec 2016. I returned a few months ago. I would say I've seen about ten players still playing from when I quit.

Kunark era is when the game grew a lot, so the list doesn't change much here. Detoxx, Liia, Franswa, Eratani, Faumieni, few others (apologies to anyone I forgot are the only people left I remember from that era.

Going back even further - Vanlla, and Guise/Manastone/Rubicite era I only know of a single other Vanilla era player who is still active that I knew personally - Eratani.

Over the 13 year span, I personally played for about one year after each expansion release, so about 3 yrs total. In that time I was in 3 (kinda 4) guilds - Inglourious Basterds, Rampage/TR, and Awakened. Of those guildmatess, I can think of eight people who are still active.

I'm sure I'm forgetting some people, but that's still pretty grim. I suspect the people who have played the most are actually players who began during Kunark or Velious. In fact, prior to.. I guess we'll call it "the zerg era" (when dragons were rooted for god knows what reason) - this game had a reputation for dying quickly as soon as every expansion was beat. Hell, in IB and Rampage we didn't even pretend to want to stay. I remember hearing stuff like "can we wake the Sleeper finally so I can stop playing" or "I wish Trak would drop the staff so we can stop logging on every 3 days". Awakened was the first guild I was in that seemed like it had intention of building something - which it did, quite well in my opinion.

Speaking strictly in terms of people who have played the most - I don't think there's much debate here - Eratani almost certainly is the leader. It's also worth noting he's one of the most well liked and well adjusted raiders in the game. Second place is probably Detoxx, and yeah, things do start to look grim. A lot of raiders today seem to be very unhappy, hateful people. I think the current rule structure fosters an environment where you are competing against your own guildmates as much as anyone else.

Unroot the dragons and Detoxx will have time to deliver all the pizzas again.


You're one weird character, talk shit about a man yet you rock his guild tag as if your apart of the guild.. seek help.

Merge Green into Blue. Merge Red into Blue with all Red players permanently flagged for PvP and unable to group or guild with non PvP players. Make Red players' gear not tradeable with Blue/Green players. Launch Race War.

The people who play on Red99 do not want more people on the server and basically do everything they can to drive people away. Normal, well-adjusted people leave after a short time when they realize how depraved and austically obsessed these people are. It's doomed to fail, which is why there will never be a Red 2.0. It would be a waste of time and effort resetting things, unless the GMs cracked down hard on the awful behavior. Also, there is unchecked cheating on Red99 basically constantly. Fuck em.

Red is super chill bro. U literally can join the zerg and pvp on alts all day long. No one will ever stop u. At worst you might wind up like in a youtu.be video if you're extra-special.
