That brings back memories
I was one of the Knights of Darkmoor honour guard for Lord British (stopping the crowds getting into the castle so we could have the discussions) when we held that protest
I remember the gm's contacting us and asking us to meet them elsewhere as they couldnt log in as it was so laggy
As for Deepwater I was there when it was made and actually trained the origional town guards along with Caelin with my GM swordman
Is the alliance based around there still going? I got KOD in when DD stopped playing (cant remember the alliances name).
