Jet Li I think.

Jet Li never surpassed EP's ladder position. As I think back on this, I believe it was EP that eclipsed 2000 rating in the original season, but Uni and WM both finished ahead of them, I think in ~1950 range. At any rate, Uni's final rating, whatever it ended up being, would be the highest final ladder position for sure.

No documented proof. The highest documented proof we have is 1902.

Eternum Pariah with 1980 rating is the highest I have ever seen. And as far as I know Team Union never got rating higher than 1900 but I could be wrong.

Here are some old shots.

This was taken in november or december 2004, before the game was even released

Soon after the ladder reset.

This was taken when Team Union was dominating the ladder, 1869 rating.

EP takes the number 1 spot and team union dropped to 4th place

EP with 1942 rating, Jet Li 2nd and Union now 5th. All the top 5 guilds have rating +1900!

Also, the guild in 7th place on the lowest ladder screenshot is another WM (we used to call it korean hat, because that's what the first letter in the tag looks like). that guild was #1 on the ladder for about a month i think, but they stopped playing on it.

People forget how good the other korean guilds were. At the time of the GWWC, the best 4 guilds in the game were ZPZG, Uni, WM, and EvIL. The Korean regional tournament was probably the most competitive guild wars tournament of all time.

I thought it was because of the mass ladder manipulation

Koreans don't play anymore? I guess they went back to Starcraft, lol.

wow those old ladder screenshots bring back some warm fuzzy memories.

At some point after that last screenshot, both WM & Uni overtook EP & Jet Li (spawned discussion and EP flaming on WoC), so they should have definitely gone past 1900 rating.
