Outriders of Karana was the first guild created in Everquest ~
(after it went live that is)
Fire of The Heavens (was later re-created as Fires of Heaven), Aradani, Travelers of Norrath, The Companions, The Unforgiven, Da Troll Patroll etc... were all created at or near release. Lots of others that I can't remember offhand.

Arborealus · Post by **Arborealus** » May 14, 2004, 9:46 am

Yeah there was sort of a plethora of little guilds of friends etc which gradually consolidated somewhat...

Akaran_D · Post by **Akaran_D** » May 14, 2004, 11:02 am

Gatekeepers of Norrath MIGHT have been in the first hundred.

Fairweather Pure · Post by **Fairweather Pure** » May 14, 2004, 11:06 am

Far Reachers was in the top 20 I believe.

Llaffer · Post by **Llaffer** » May 14, 2004, 11:34 am

I think Black Dragon Claw had a guild # of about 35ish.

Winnow · Post by **Winnow** » May 14, 2004, 1:54 pm

Dont' forget...

The Oracle!

Serra = GM

Good guild but added too many players without quality control so it eventually was disbanded by GM.

Ahh, Rebels of Le Pal. A bunch of my co-workers were in that guild back in '99.

The Elite Force was around for a long time too, I believe...but I don't recall how early.

Wow hehe lots of real old farts here hehehe.
Great to hear lots of people still remember the humble beginnings of Veeshan

.
I remember a lot of those guilds..it is very sad to witness an old guild disband and become only a memory.
My brother was in the original The wreckinmg crew.. which later the guild leader disbanded and then the guild was remade as wrecking crew without "the".
Wow.. lots of flashbacks come to mind at this time.
Hiya Gemily btw hehe.. and yes i do realise Rage was in at least the top first 50.. just can't recall how old exactly.. only know it was created in mid 1999.
Anyhow.. Glad to hear people have such good memory, you all pass the test hehehe.

Karnettee · Post by **Karnettee** » May 17, 2004, 11:42 am

The Elite Force was created within the first 6 months of Eq going live.

Today TEF remains the family oriented guild it always was, with far more raiding going on bi-weekly.

With membership well over 400 including alts....we are still as strong, if not stronger than we have ever been....and still having a great fun time.

This is quite an interesting post....and brings back many memories.

/waving to all those I know posting here.

Karness/Alurra
GL of TEF

Alliance Of Valor was one of the first 30 guilds made after release.
Honorable Knights
Honorable Few
and the others ones you all named.

Kaldaur · Post by **Kaldaur** » May 19, 2004, 3:29 am

Order of the Crimson Dragon. To this day, I still smile whenever I think about everyone. That was my first guild ever, and it's the only one I'll remember ten years from now.

Burke · Post by **Burke** » May 19, 2004, 10:27 am

Mercenaries of Fate, not sure where they rank as of creation date. Early summer of '99. We later merged with Olath Tatharla (sic?) to become Ring of Shadows.

Mort · Post by **Mort** » May 19, 2004, 11:01 am

Just thought of another... Merciless Justice =P.

Akanae · Post by **Akanae** » May 22, 2004, 2:36 pm

I remember Rebels of Le Pal was my first guild... never did find out who/what Le Pal was.

Adelrune Argenti · Post by **Adelrune Argenti** » May 24, 2004, 4:35 pm

Outriders of Karana was indeed one of the first, if not the first one, created. We used our l33t inside connections. Now, lets see if I can be the first Vanguard guild too.

BeatSoggybiscuit · Post by **BeatSoggybiscuit** » May 25, 2004, 12:11 pm

Obsidian Overlords!

Teutonic Knights was pretty early also, mmm, lots of others that i can't totally remember the name of.

I know it wasn't Dantrin, but which wizard was the one who bound himself in the FG firepot room and forgot about it.... until we got stuck in a fear repop wipeout and he bind looped about a dozen times?

Adelrune Argenti · Post by **Adelrune Argenti** » May 25, 2004, 6:45 pm

That would be Zeddic, or so says Tagad.

Sneakyfoot · Post by **Sneakyfoot** » May 26, 2004, 8:12 am

It really is good to see so many older players are still in the game.
I've seen people come and go and it made me wonder for the longest time just how many old schoolers were left.
I myself got hooked watching my brother play his shaman Bigotes on the first year EQ was released and i got hooked.
To be honest i miss the feeling of those old days.. sure its great for everyone to get into higher grownds of the game but it is only a short time before people start getting bored and eventually leave.
The old days seemed to be so much more simplistic, people always had time for a chat and most importantly Gms actually gave a damn about players and interacted with them a whole lot more.
Anyway its great to see that so many people stuck it through and havent left the game in all it's frustration

Madren · Post by **Madren** » May 26, 2004, 2:03 pm

speaking of good ole zeddic and old times,

I remember Outriders were doing a CR in fearplane, we were dragging and rezzing etc, trying to get a few people level 46 back.

Then Cazic Thule spawns in the middle of the process. What we didnt realize ( not that we even knew he was Due to spawn ) was that respawns the entire zone.

I just remember seeing Cazic's emote, then a few seconds later about 50 mobs coming at us over the hill. Thank you, planar mob aggro range.

Nothing beats the old days.

Fornax · Post by **Fornax** » May 28, 2004, 4:22 am

Shadow of the Darkness has be around for a while, was recreated by a few people.

Winnow · Post by **Winnow** » May 28, 2004, 1:08 pm

I miss the dragon fights. These days, we're fighting all sorts of oddball looking things. A NToV sweep was a great night...or going farther back, Naggy. I think perhaps EQ needs a release a more traditional Mob expansion as I'm starting to feel like im in Doom 3.
