When I was Co-Owner of Elysian07 back when we had about 20+ active players. Was a your typical old school server but the community definitely made the server. I actively played the game, having no commands just competing with others for the number one spot. I, and the other owner, where always actively Skype calling with about ten of the players in-game and I remember playing for about two weeks 14 hours a day during the summer.
Good times but only managed to last for about two months.
