Late reply, but you'll probably know who I am by my story if you knew me in game.
I'm not posting info to oust anyone, as people change over the years and I have no proof anyways. I just think it was an interesting situation.
Really the main two guilds at the time were only Sedai (oldguard) and TDK (new guys, somewhat)
I played mostly in the 2010-2014 Era of Legendro's life. I was a solo player for the majority of my start, and then eventually joined TDK after befriending a member or two, but generally did my own thing early on.
TDK was owned by Gibs, who had a big ego which I can't to this day figure out if it was a joke or not.
Even though Sedai had less members than us by a long shot for most WoE's, they had a decade worth of god items, including two meg's, so we lost pretty often early on. TDK accused them of buying items for the admins, which may have happened, it was unclear, but some staff were shady as f***.
In retaliation, TDK convinced GM Vitamin C, which was friendly with them to make +9 and +10 of many gears, like diabolus sets, etc. That shifted the tide of WoE pretty fast. Also me and a TDK member found an exploit to abuse the slotter npc and make essentially any slotted gear for free. We abused this for a month before staff even noticed and only got jailed for a week lol.
2012-2013 MistaJ showed up and seemed to want to help the GM's and Cuteboi (main admin) fix up the server. Whether his intentions were sincere at first I'm not sure. MistaJ ended up conversing with the leaders of TDK, after Gibs offered to buy Legendro, but Cuteboi refused, and continued to neglect the server. MistaJ gave us GRF edits of things to make mi gao exploit (lol) less laggy on the maps, and precast spots, markings, and making stalker's footprints more visible. After a couple months of this advantage Sedai seemingly gave up, and a 1 guild server is 100% on death row, in terms of competition, pretty much.
MistaJ conversed on Teamspeak with the main members of TDK that he was going to make a new server at this point that was better, and try to sap all of the remaining Legendro members into it if he could, which he succeeding mostly in doing I think. Basically he advertised it with members of TDK on Legendro's forums for weeks, and the gm's were so inactive they stayed up a long while before being taken down, and people still advertised in game to old members to leave and join them. MistaJ also said he was doing a "TDDOS" to Legendro every other day on Teamspeak (which I don't really think he'd admit any of this lol). He asked if Gibs + Matthew (co owner of TDK) if they wanted to invest in his server beforehand for a chunk of the donation's, and that fell through, (dunno who f*** over who). That server is seemingly dead now, but I'm not 100% sure as I refused to play on it, as I wasn't going to trust someone who would use another server as a stepping stone, even if I was in TDK.
Fast Forward to 2015, 10-15 players in 3rd world countries/toasters still playing with the most corrupt s*** already devastated the community beyond repair, I feel bad for them.
2016, Legendro's site is warned as malware by almost any browser, an extra unneeded nail.
2017+ D E A D
I wasn't a good Samaritan either, with bug abusing npc's, buying mvp's with cash, and I also scammed a well known person called "Gix Mino" out of his characters, which the admins let me keep for some retarded reason.
All in all it was a wild ride, I've changed a lot, maybe MistaJ has too, who knows. All I know is, Legendro was the bottom of the barrel in terms of people being scum f*** bastards in it's last spurt of life lol.
