Funny you should mention this. I remember people took days off work to try and place houses in Malas but the laaaaaaaaaaaaaggggggggggggggg was so bad most people could only get a few footsteps from the portal before they were kicked off the server. People got up at INSANE times to try and login and grab a piece of the property market. The vampires placed a whole town, Sanctium, in Malas. Guilds had huge villages there such as Rhovanion. But ultimately all Malas did was help to kill off the vast majority of regular players. Awful awful place.

Yup, I think I placed my first house in Malas at least 30 or 40 times. It would seem to stick then poof, disconnected, house gone. Not sure it was Malas that killed the regulars though, it seemed a bit too empty of content for that. I think it may have been the Neon and the lack of high quality graphics, or perhaps the item driven economy... Many got lured to fancier, easier games. I left in 2003 or 2004 because it seemed it would be over soon, imagine my surprise a few weeks ago when I came back ;-)
