I was on forum quite a bit from 2010-2013. Some names that come to mind: cooldragondudelozz, Bastion, german_idiot, and a bunch of others. It just goes to show how bad my memory is though. I can remember the names but almost nothing about anyone from back then.
What you remind me! The old KAW was something else. I would never forget the openings of OSF s in wc and the plunder wars. My favorites were Ithaka, Gorilla, QueenVasia, Harbinger and Returnofamar and Wulf.
Long love trueplayer! ummmmm when I started I believe top 5 were majesty, ninja-assassin, lomhanz, teja, laoda, forget number 6... I think 7 was lerikk.
Red star had gone from number 5 to number 1 in just 2 weeks. Majesty was disappearing. Devs had just released epic battles from war beasts to no quarter after 2 weeks of playing. The wars fought in those days were only used to loot and to grow only 1 clan. I forget how that method was called. And some other stuff that I don't remember
