Heh
Did you apply? I was pretty annoyed not getting into that club... I applied with several chars and imagined some n00b char with less than 10 years of playing failing my applications
The club was closed in 2002 by Mami. The reasons stated was lack of maintenance (however there were no bugs to maintain), and complaints from players (which never reached me, or what they were about).
The Legion's purpose was a club for powerplayers. The admittance to the club was controlled by its mortal members through a voting process. Here's an exerpt from the web-page written by Kairi:
In the beginning Nanny was small. There were few areas, relatively few
players and a lot of lag. Life was simple back then, because the game was
more anarchic, everyone knew each other and there wasn't a lot to explore
for a player who had gone through all the areas (yes, that was possible).
As time passed, the game expanded, and one fine day Nanny got a new
machine. That led to considerably less lag and considerably more players
being able to log on at the same time. Some of these players wizzed and
made new areas with many interesting things in them. Other players remained
mortal and kept exploring the above-mentioned areas and killing the above-mentioned
things. And yet other players kept standing on village green and asking the players
who explored the areas and killed things to help them with xp and money.
As a result, Group 2 found itself in a difficult situation. Firstly, they
have to complete the ever growing task of checking out things made by Group
1. Secondly, they have to make Group 3 give them a break for once. Under
these circumstances a couple of wizards known for being able to look
at the game from a no-nonsense mortal perspective decided to create an environment
that would support inquisitive, successful and determined players. So these
wizards started to talk to their mortal friends and think how make the life
of Group 2 more fun.
The result was The Legion.
The Legion is a club that unites the most experienced fighters, explorers
and questers in Nanny. Its purpose is to preserve and maintain the best
traditions and standards in powerplaying. Our main goal is to pursue excellence
in the game. The membership in this club is highly selective. Only the
most distinguished and/or promising players are allowed to join. The Legion
is an elite organization and does not share its secrets lightly. Any information
related to the club and its functions is not supposed to be a matter of
public knowledge.
Note: The Legion is for mortals only. Wizards,
except for the founders and the admin cannot join the club.
I still have the code for the club.
