You know, you really need to sit down and write about it. I once did that on the Wings forum; there was a wonderful hero-gaming forum there. I described in detail who beat whom and why, round after round...
Very few of the active players from back then are still around.
Cobra is probably the only one of the notable players from that time who missed 2004; he had some problems related to football betting.
Horn was there, Vitalik, Yama-Dharma, Oxy. Yesterday, I met Mega in Moscow, and we reminisced. Matrosov was always there and helped Alan Prosto a lot. There were the Minsk players: Vasya, DDD, and his brother vvv.
Regarding the development since 2004, SoD couldn't have had any. Bai took over all the young players, starting with the slogan "we'll improve SoD," and then switching to the slogan "SoD sucks." Only the die-hard league and portal players remained. Just open Bai's earliest topics; how many wonderful new players were there. And that's why SoD doesn't have a new generation.
World appeared out of nowhere. With a strong Bai and a solid Portal, a small group of players emerged, which was very appealing due to its friendliness and home-like atmosphere. Adelaide, Tanya, vbn, Invisible, Kamikaze, Reper, Alex R, Loy, Uran with Dudzhem – no more than ten people. Oh, I forgot Evgenia, a great guy from St. Petersburg.
It's quite informative to study the history of the forum, how it grew and became the best. The next generation of players was already starting to form here.
Essentially, the line of development is: Pro-gamer - League of Heroes - Bai - World. There's also the history of Portal, which is also interesting, as a struggle between romantics and pragmatists. Ugh, the whole club movement in the CIS started with the Master of Lightning website and Lord Maniac's reports, but I can't remember what that website was called.
