Pretty much everyone associated with that guild were absolute scum bags. I can't think of anyone that wasn't a late addition to their rank and file ('phile?) that wasn't. Rules, fair-play, and law didn't apply to anything they did. So much so, that the dynamics that shaped and governed our server were hugely influenced by the need to counter the overwhelming toxicity of its membership. Vallon Zek developed a culture very specific to the server, and the reaction to the 12P was central to it.
I think many us had such a deep personal connection to that game in part because those we played against in 12P were very real villains. And the sense of obligation we felt to our guildmates to be there to back each other up reverberates even now. This guild <The Purge> is largely comprised of people who fought each other very competitively in EQ on VZ. There was one thing we would drop our rivalry for though every time. 12P.
I felt then as I do now: you cannot be that disgusting in a game and be a nice, rational, respectable person when you log out. These guys were rotten to the core, and not a single one of us with any extended interaction with them would say otherwise.
I wish you the best of luck in tracking him down.
