It was spelled 'Scarlek' actually, and in that context equally notable was Mehdi Ibn Salaad - after all the whole safe containing demon possessions, slave trade, kidnapping, etc. and ended with a beheading and zombie was epic!
And to add to the 'Legendaries' in a sense of 'this is something that will be remembered forever' are the following:
- Gorbash and Camigwen (and her bag of bride's fingers/snacks)
- the Busty Wenches (I always lost track of how many there were)
- Salix and the Pixies, 'a slime' for instance
- Zaknafein (who took over the running of KT after Orlando left)
There's more, I just want to keep it at that for now.
Van, to make your life easy, you could for instance regroup guilds who's members are recognised by many as legendary - that way you only have 1 monument to build and can dedicate it to the particular people with a 'plaque'. Essentially I think that whilst there were many exceptional people around during all these years, a lot of them only became legendary because of group effort. After all this is an MMORPG and not an RPG with a high-score list.
And I count myself in that as well. Sure Venom d'Orsay was the most prominent member and relic of the old Mugger's Union and Trinsic Shades, but it would not have been half as fun without the help of people like Edmund Ludd (who came up with a lot of the mugging ideas), or Betty Noblood (who created the League of Temperance in
UO), or even Nuala Sapphire (Assassin and Lady of the Night).
I also think that in a lot of cases you will have different concepts and views of who is legendary and who isn't depending on where and when people played. It'll never be fair and just - so regrouping people will actually give a bit of recognition to everyone - because everyone deserves it!
