I laughed for an hour when I heard that m0o had played on eve, considering how fantastically mediocre they were at CS
From the stories I have been told, They had gatecamps where the only ones who could break it where GM's in polaris frigates and the /teleport command.
Back in early 2004 m0o could bring alliances to their knees whit 20-25 pilots online. no other corp can really dead or alive (not even BE) say that.
As for legends, yes m0o is one legend, atuk is another one. zombie I think they were called would because of the yulai incident and to some jokers were a legend corp back in the day, lots of old corps that will never be forgotten as long as their players that played when they were around back then.
Edit: spelling
Lets be clear here about what it was mOo did in its hay day.
They were the best small gang warfare corp next to Zombie, they were great at terrorizing the noobs that populated eve back then, and they did have some very smart cookies in the corp that made all that happen.
Now lets clear up some myths before you build on any of them.
They were only able to scare alliances because back then you had to come out and defend your space, if you did not a lone Arma could take your station from you in just over an hour. So as people came to fight they killed them, unfortunately comparing this to todays eve is not possible unless we bring 50 dreads with us where ever we go.
They were not very good at adapting, they died a very early death like most unsuccessful corps majority of their good members realized this and jumped ship to Evol and such.
They were not very good at killing targets that were there to fight them, instead of the surprise attack. I have been on the receiving end of mOo gank squads in the past, and can honestly say they were not that scary when you were not in NPC gear.
Not getting into a flame war, but tbh I remember BE hanging around station in Gehi and ****ting themselves and docking every time we came out, sniper scorpions and rifters alike, good times. Much like BE then went on to massively greater things (I have nothing but respect for BE, anyone that gets as much forum coverage as them deserves it imho) the things you describe are at best slightly exagerated and at best, rampant falsehoods. We were around for ages before Zombie (another corp I respect massively for what they have done) so to compare us to them is like comparing a motor car to a horse and cart, different contexts and different times.
The whole death thing is just downright false, the corp died many times and was resureccted just as much, watch The Reverends videos for more info on that and I think it is a testament to m0o that many of the people that made it what it is are still playing and are still massively instrumental in EVE today.
Also, we were killing alliances yonks before capturable stations were in game, when the precise opposite of what you were saying is true. In those days, you DIDNT have to defend your space, there was no POS, no capturable stations, nothing to shoot at but ships and roids, so if you went and hid, m0o got bored.
Like I said, I have nothing but respect for corps like BE and Zombies, who are I think much closer to the likes of m0o than most other corps ever will be. But please, if your going to post, get your facts right.
Most of what other people have said in here is true, we smashed FA, wrecked CFS, however it is important to understand that we did this when EVE was a completely different game than it is now.
Anyway, I ain't flaming, you can take what I say in this post as gospel or you can post more, either way, I'm right.
Thanks for reading...
