a day earlier we killed our first epic mob, alangria! and heebo (who is still with us!) got the very first loot: Girdle of Escape for 15 XRP
on the same day, feb 17th, also xiggalg and the steel golem went down and both dropped a wooden chests it seems hehe, got a cedar and a ruby only.
that was also the day, the daily raids really started 
during the next 10 days we had 14 first kills, including the kra thuk and solusek's fist.
nagalik died on march 4th, venekor on the 10th.
we geared up untill we had our first attempts on darathar on march 15th, he died on the 19th then, here the entry from our xrp tool:
03/19/05* [t5]Darathar M(7) SERVER FIRST ENDGAME UBER KILL 30.00
not long after that, the bloodlin chronicles went live and we spent 3 days on it, until T'Haen died and xtrim got that mystical item off him (he spent a whooping 80 points on it, CRAZY!) 
never went back to that place though due to those lame trash mobs there.
instead we kept farming contested and instances, K'Dal died on our first attempt after he went live. (may 5th)
then spirits of the lost went live, took us 3 weeks untill the frogs were freed on runnyeye, on june 12th 
beginning of july - splitpaw, the normal version first kill on the 4th, brutal acts of war defeated the day after that!
then nothing exciting.. waiting for the first expansion, farming, farming, farming, vilion was one of the best geared tanks worldwide at this time, maybe even THE best geared. we awaited dof with great excitement, rdy to rock.
but then DoF went live -> dissapointment. 1014 raid hours from feb 6th to sept 9th 2005 suddenly seemed worth nada.
many ppl quit or went on a break.
we struggled and lost about a month, compared to guilds on other servers.
the content was dissapointing for the most part of the expansion, 68hours farming eyes in SC untill we got our first shot on the godking. had to little dps, no chance no loot in SC back then, hours and hours for nothing.
so we recruited dps, geared up.. were back in good shape soon enough to beat everything but pos and the djinn master before the 2nd expansion went live. the lost time at the beginnnig of dof was simply too much.. ok
kos went live, and here we are now 1696 raid logs after alangria went down, half way through the access quest to deathtoll, spawned talendor once but only got him to 50% untill adds overwhelmed us, back to farming eyes..
