This video came out...hmmm...10 years ago? More? It disappeared for a long time, but people would refer to it off and on on boards and wish they could find it again.
For those of us who knew that strange and heady brew of guild, groups, tactics, and friendship, it really touches something.
After years of doing a Google search every year of so, I was surprised to discover it today. I thought I'd share it for those who remember it.

As a side note, how great is it to be reminded that there used to be a game where it took 6 MONTHS for the first guild to take down the first big boss of an expansion.
Instead of 6 days or something crazy like that.
It is poetry in a timeline.
I didn't frequent the boards (either Saga's or any other) for early EQ as I was off enjoying Asheron's Call so I don't know what you are referencing there.
Brought back memories of our guild -- the crazy drama we have endured years and years ago.
It's funny how, though we all have lives other than our video game lives, we (at least I) can mark game experiences and seasons as milestones of my life. First one up would be virtually grabbing a halfling named Tuppen by his coattails in West Commonlands, and asking if his guild was any good.
I'm dying to know, Korg; what was his answer? :P
You'll be happy to know that, despite his answer, I joined Saga anyway. ;)
