Hey, I played Catskills same time and I think I helped capture COM's first town, it was hard with the dual entry. I was Shadowlords prior to joining COM though. I played: Darth Zen - Tamer/Bard Thor - Macer/Archer Edge - Thief I was usually with Jimmy - Fencer/Archer, we were both in a guild that helped COM capture the town, Crimson II sounds familiar. I can't remember my guild though but we feuded with them next to my property over a log cabin from when housing placement went live. We eventually joined forces and did a lot of pvp together. Do you remember a Minax guild that was pretty big/good? I think it was Exiled or some crap like that.
I do remember Minax being dominant, seems like Arkon (or something close to that) was in charge. The COM base was so terrible and so easily exploited, it was really difficult corrupting those sigils. So many failures prior..!
Overwhelmingly US shards here. I sensed it with most posts coming either early morning or late night in Europe. Yew Militia was a favourite. Someone started to design a website along the old lines: http://www.guardsmenmilitia.com. If I remember aright it also had a solo piper as background, very atmospheric. But I mostly played a smith, and hung out at Silverleaf, with German players: http://www.village-of-silverleaf.de. Great, but I was a lousy role-player.
I rerolled people a lot, even on Seige but if I have a 'good guy' and want to be otherwise I would delete and reroll. OSI 97 to whenever item properties and extra abilities were about to go in. Catskills - Boromir [VMi] Seige - Mac [DOM] and briefly [F@T], Macabre [UND], Ammar (in DOM, UDL briefly, Sheriff of Safe Haven), Dieter [DOM] and [CWS]. Also some Drow guy in [DrW] Angel Island - Mac [UND], Vishakt [SC] & the brief Blackrock Clan. Halex [SVG] UOSA - Vishakt [SC,BrC] UO:Ren - Tarshakt & Vishakt [URK]
