I played here from the beginning. There were some calls I disagreed with that GMs made, and inconsistent application of rules, but nothing that really mattered, and surely nothing that ruined the game. It was just crybabies who refused to logon because a GM made a dumb ruling on a train. It happens in sports all the time, look at the tripping call against Dallas vs my patriots. You move on to the next game / pvp fight and shrug it off. People on both sides were infected with this conspiracy theorist mentality that the GMs were out to get them and how everyone was corrupt, when really it was just inept / poorly informed staff making off the cuff calls.

The one exception I will say to this was the Holocaust guild banning from the nagafen wall exploit for doing what nihilium had done prior. While two wrongs don’t make a right, deleting the guild and doing a guild wide ban was overkill to the max on an already dying server at the time. While it was eventually undone, it really hurt the box and tilted the scales in nihilium’s favor for years after that point.
