Anyone have good memories of (or still belong to) a gaming clan or guild? (lemmy.world)

Was thinking about this today, pretty unique time way back in my gaming past. Belonged to a clan that would play things like War Rock (old F2P game), Battlefield 2, early CoD games, etc.

It was really the only time I belonged to a gaming clan, and I remember (maybe through the lens of nostalgia?) having a great time with it. Someone was always on voice chat, I think we used TeamSpeak then switched to Vent, then finally Mumble?

I remember it being fairly small group, so everyone knew each other. There was also a really wide range of ages as well, so it was almost more like a strange family than a group of friends.

Just funny to think back, how frequently we all talked to each other, without ever having actually met in-person. Then it just kind of faded away slowly, I couldn't even tell you why / when I stopped.

Anyone else have similar experience / memories? Do you still belong to any gaming clans or guilds today (new or old)?

In Ultima Online I was part of a really big guild on Napa Valley. We had pretty much all the land north east of the Britannia swamp. We were one of the first, if not the first, guild to defeat the Harrower.

Does UO still exist?

Afaik, yeah. I haven't played on the official servers for years though. If I ever have a hankering to play it, I find emulated shards that duplicate the experience as it was in 1997.

Edit: I just had to look and see; not only is it still up and running, they recently had some kind of event on the 18th.

Amazing that it is still up. I might try it.
