Has anyone got a list of the guilds in albion (well on excal) and their associated XML reference number? Seeing as this is a chronological record (until recently when goa cleaned up the db cos the limit was reached) of guild creation, im curious to see which guilds created sub 50 id are still active and where TMM are in said list :D

hmm, goa cleaning up seems to have messed the numbering because Asylum has a lower ID than TMM and tmm is by far the older of the two. ah well. cba to sieve thru that lot :p

Yup. the cleaning-up was basically deleting the dead ones, and re-assigning those IDs to newly-created guilds.


edit: I did once go through the original IDs, and wrote out the first 100 or something, but I think that is long-since deleted with BW.

edit2: simple way to go through them (if you can ignore the re-assignments) is to use daoc-stats.com, click a guild, then modify the URL, incrementing the guild ID.

Think there's still a couple of others going, such as Flemish Lions and LoD (actually LoD was 53, but near enough). :)

and
http://daoc-stats.com/top50guilds.php?server=Excalibur&sort=Chars Active&realm=Albion&order=DESC

Just some ids from there - guilds with ID less than 300 that I know aren't new guilds (I didn't include Joy Division for example even though they're ID 14) :)

GoL - 11
Knights who say Ni - 32
Royal Bavarians - 38
Dark Prophecy - 39
Dragon Knights - 43
The Dragon-Fighters - 47
Flemish Lions - 50
Legion of Darkness - 53
Ferus Legionis - 70
Avengers of Pendragon - 72
Crusaders of Albion - 74
Knights of Pendragon - 93
Lusitania High Council - 99
The Royal Guard - 102
Dead Dragons Society - 115
Covenant of Zak - 154
ASq - 156
Guardia Dolorosa - 157
Brotherhood - 161 (pretty sure that's an old guild - can someone confirm?)
Illuminati - 165
Black Falcons - 173
The Merry Men - 180
Herfolge - 202
Humberton Guard - 208
Shadowlords Society - 232
Blade and Quill - 253
The Ministry - 293

probably some more kicking around but that's out of the top 50 active population and top 50 total RPs.

Strange, the numbers don't seem right, I remember my old Dark Knights having the ID of 30, this it was in pins old BW thread, but this says :

<guild guild_id="286" name="Dark Knights" rp="4284047" />

The good ol days :(

I was the gm of Steelstorm with my theurgist called Azudeth who is my infil now. So im still around.

Only other people I know from steel who still play are my 2 guildies in The Ministry (Elisabeth & Morvyn) and of course Alpha was in Steelstorm with Gromit.

Guild still exist with some of our alts in it but I think we have accidently lost the one that was the GM titleholder :eek:
