*Sigh*  This just shows how badly it has failed...

History *was* made before it.  HUGE amounts of history.  People who  
came in later simply ignored it.  (Heck, even some of the people who  
*wrote* it later ignored it...)  Some of them also ignored the  
roleplay guidelines completely.  Enough of them joined realms with  
rulers who didn't care much that they were allowed to build up to a  
critical mass.  Eventually some of those people became rulers  
themselves, and started propagating the mentality.

If there had been *any* means of enforcing the roleplay rules, the  
FEI might very well have survived, because the problems could have  
been nipped in the bud, before they could grow large and put down  
deep roots.  However, it became hopeless a long time ago.
