WOW! The purple guardians of Honor are still around?!?!?!?
My first experience with the game involved them. Before I bought the game, my cousin was walking outside of Trinsic (before there was trammel and Felucca). Some guys had crafted chairs and tables and had set up an effective roadblock on the road into trinsic. They demanded money from anyone to get by, and if they tried to bypass it, they would kill anyone who tried. After a bunch of unsuccessful attempts, one guy left. After a while a Gate appeared, and a TON of guys in Purple and Gold popped out of the gate and immediately killed all of the perpetrators! Was probably the most fantastic thing I had ever seen that really influenced me to get internet just to play this game. It was either that or the day my cousin got robbed in Moonglow, and when he tried to shoot at them with his bow, he couldn't because they stole his arrows. My friend and I laughed at my cousin so hard.........
