By the end of 1999 the PNP was drafted and put out to ensure consistency in rules across severs and ban things like training, kill stealing, etc.
It's amazing that the devs never saw a monk flopping a train in front of a group would be a thing. On Kings and Bandits people would just DA a lv 1 cleric through SolB and drop huge trains. Honestly it was fun going back and forth until one group prevailed. I admit I trained people all the time on live and there were so many people rep did not matter because of the different time zones etc.
