So that explains all the dirt cheap tripots!
Old School Havoc (The strongest EP PVP Guild of the Day) had made a deal with the richest player in the game, An AD named Tiny T to allow AD to have haderus as buff server for trial purposes/PVE in exchange for an awesome deal on tripots (I am talking 100's of stacks of the stuff). Havoc essentially held Haderus as a bargaining Chip against Tiny and the progressive trial guilds of AD (AD at the time dominated trials and NA was even very competitive with EU). This bought peace lasted for a time until the greed of EP started to demand higher quantities of the crimson goodness at an even lower discount. Tiny not willing to give in to this injustice refused and havoc let loose the gates of hell on haderus. I am talking farming like you could not believe. AD tried and tried as best as it could but all for not. Havoc had us pushed to our gates for weeks. Every time a keep would be taken, EP would rally and push AD back to its gates. AD's famed buff server became and EP farming ground. During this time, the great AD PVE guilds of Purple, Eight Divines, Deviance, and WKB's suffered.

There is a thread buried in a forums about the dethrone of Hova (on Chillrend) Rylana organized. Its not a bad read.

Also, the original Deletherus account of the "Guild Summit" is scary, too. Even two years later it is completely relevant.

Ya I was there for the hova dethrone. It was really uneventful. Every keep but Aleswell was undefended and taken within 5mins, then it took travel time for the 5 other raids to show up at Aleswell and it was over pretty much instantly. Probably the most coordinated attack ever in eso?
I remember almost dethroning Naw once, just Alacrity. We got to the last keep, but by then it was a 3bar/poplock inside that last keep vs one guild. No way to actually get inside the keep and siege the inner without dozens of people attacking you while you try to siege. I think that was the first time I ever felt something was completely hopeless haha.

I coordinated a dethrone of T.Hanks back in the early 1.6 days when Havoc was dominant. While I must admit it required working with CN and Daniel, it was pretty uneventful. It was on Thornblade, though. So I'll take credit for that.
We had four groups. AD was back at their gates if I recall. One group started at each of Arrius, Alessia, Chal, Roe. We anticipated heavy defense, otherwise we would have split into six. All the keeps flagged simultaneously and were flipped in 2mins. I took my group to BRK, which is where all EP defense showed up. While my group stayed there and fought, Ash and Ales were quickly flipped. The other three groups ran to BRK and we zerged the heck out of it. Over in 15mins.

Great story. Not true, but great. Did we buy pots from Tiny T? Yes, everyone did. Best way to farm PvE noobs? Cap their buff server and kick the beehive. Saying this as a member of Havoc and WKB.

Is Tiny T smaller than Dignified Mouse? Any relation to Mr. T?
I enjoy historical stories. Everyone seems to forget Fengrush was a very successful stam sorc wayyyyy back when people didn't even know stam sorc was an option in ESO character creation.

And koni was playing as a lizard at the time, yes?
The way I heard it, Sauron was a massive pug herder and basically just camped the Black Mile Gate for AP after getting bombed on the inner breach st Gondor. Everyone was on camp cool downs tho so Aragorn got a decent bomb off and it was GG.

You are right, history does become soupy and muddy. So here are facts. Steve and VE's honor fighting across campaigns for the campaign win. Fengrush's might. Scipio's personality. Wizard Daniel and Chuck Norris making a name for themselves through a ton of bad publicity. Kamikazii, the long reigning DC emp during a time of great peace before the invasions of Chillrend.
Commander Egypt and PainintheAxe working together to bring DC out of the dark ages and into prosperity in the period before Imp City launch. Brandon South Ga's demise and return as an undead EP commander.
