Game: EQ
Server: The Tribunal (and everything it merged with along the way)
Main character(s): Maclypse/Cleric for about 4 years, Maclyon/Beastlord for about 3 years, Maclore/Bard the rest of the time I played ~5 years.
Played a ton of MMOs since (and some even during) EQ. Usually played as Maclypse.
Hmm, I couldn't possibly list all of the games/servers I have been on...but the important (at least to me) ones are:
EQ: Prexus, eventually moved to Maelin Starpyre with my guild. Main was Irriaden - ENC and I had one alt, Glendower (BRD)
WoW: Icecrown, Andovar (Hunter) and Anferth (Druid)
I played each of the above for at least 4-6 years each, and also played Aion for a couple of years...as well as ~ 8-10 other MMO's that didn't really catch my interest (rift, terra, Age of Conan, etc)

Played Vanguard beta for months as well and was thoroughly impressed with it and greatly enjoyed it. I convinced my friends who didn't get into beta to join me at the launch of the game, but they quit shortly after because of some bug issues and the fact we started on a PVP server and were griefed by the strongest guild there constantly. I regrettably quit not long after that and was disappointed because after playing the beta I was convinced Vanguard was going to be the next MMO that I would be playing for years to come.
Other MMO's I've played for any significant period of time: Asheron's Call, Final Fantasy XI, Star Wars Galaxies, Anarchy Online, Age of Conan, Star Wars The Old Republic

DDO: Fernia...merged and became Ghallanda
Those are the two I enjoyed most.
As stated above, I was also on Torv... What were your character names?
My main was a mage named Kishpa. During the primary raiding time (Kunark-Luclin) I was in the guild Blood of the Phoenix. That ended up disbanding and forming another guild by PoP that I was a part of but I am forgetting the name atm.
I played from '99 until just after Gates of Discord was released.
When did you play and what guild were you in? Your character names don't ring a bell...maybe I'll know your guild name? Blades of Wrath? Sacrosanct? Gift of Thought? House Archon? Nexxus of Faith? etc? Funny how I still remember most of the top guilds names but I can't even remember the name of the guild I was in once my raiding guild disbanded and the game started to go down hill.

What year did that happen? I was on Fennin Ro for a bit because my server, Torvonnilous, was merged with Fennin Ro due to UNDERpopulation. That happened in 2004ish. Was there really an issue with Over population after that point? That seems strange.

I started on Fennin Ro the day EQ first launched (3/16/99). It was the highest population server when the game first launched. When the majority of the population starting reaching the level cap (50) or got close to it, dungeons like Sol B and Lower Guk were overcamped like crazy with full 6-man groups sometimes having to resort to claiming a single spawn or two just to get exp, seriously. There were 5-6 high-end, hardcore raiding guilds on the server and with really only 5 raid targets in Vanilla EQ (Lord Nagafen, Lady Vox, Cazic-Thule, Innoruuk and Phinigel if you count him) competition for them was fierce, which led to frustration and bad-blood between some of those guilds.
Verant/SOE made the smart decision of splitting the population of the Fennin Ro. They created a new server, Druzzil Ro, and allowed players on the Fennin Ro server to transfer their characters to the new server for free. Three of the high-end, hardcore raiding guilds (including mine) decided to transfer to the new server, Druzzil Ro and the others stayed on Fennin Ro.
I honestly can't remember when the server split happened and for some reason I can't find any information on the internet of when the Druzzil Ro server launched, but I seem to recall it happening a little bit before Kunark was released, which happened on 4/24/2000.
I played on Fennin Ro from the first day until about a year later when the server split and was on Druzzil Ro for good after that until sometime around 2003-2004 after PoP had been out for a while and my guild disbanded. So I don't think our times on the Fennin Ro server overlapped from what you are telling me. Which is a shame because I love the rare occasions where I find someone who played on the same server as me at the same time and can chat and reminisce.

(I tend to "marry" MMO's and stick with them a long time. I was in vanguard briefly but I dont count it because I got swept back into EQ when the group i was with started raiding. Life happened and I left shortly after Secrets of Faydwer was released.)

Hail a_fellow_Terris-Thulian_&_Valon_member.
I wasn't in Valon long since shortly after it was formed I finally quit playing EQ, but pre-formation Videer would grab his goto cleric Lafiell and his enchanter duo Alefkun, and me (Rogam) with whomever else was on and we'd grind deep into Chardok usually for AAs.
