lol @ banning casinos
I bet whoever announced that one on their forums had his pants down with the lotion ready. I can already hear the 'our server, our rules, get shit on'.

More people hate casinos than like them and lots of people were getting scammed, so I don't see the big deal about banning them.

When I was an officer in Dark Ascension I had to deal with them quite a bit. It was really annoying cause it felt like Inglorious Bastards had them in their back pocket all the fucking time. But, against popular opinion - I was able to get along with Uth. Rogean always seemed like he had the social skills of a 5 year old and the temperament of one too.
As far as I know, they were being used in RMT operations to transfer plat, and a majority of players had an outrage over 2-3 people scamming plat from others. The GMs got sick of answering petitions and banned casinos entirely.

If we all could sit down and write a tell all from the DA and IB side of the golden age of p99 it would be awesome.
Leadership of DA were shady and tried whatever they could to get ahead. I was in DA originally (2009) because I like to be an underdog, but pretty quickly I realized the leader and officers would lie to GMs, exploit (e.g. phinny pull), train, or do anything they could to win. It was odd because usually it's the leading guild who does shady stuff to keep the up and comers down. That's how live was. Anyway, I jumped ship to IB around that time and was quite pleased at how legit they kept it. Never trained, lied, etc. It was funny having DA accuse us of having GMs in our back pocket because I saw so much shady stuff in DA and zero in IB. DA were just not as good of players with much worse leadership who whined and lied to get ahead.
"Back pocket" accusations were just haters being haters
except IB leader was a developer for p99 and did have contact with the higher ups. Find out about when fear first opened up and see how many "gm" rezes they got because of xzerion. and training went both ways. it got so bad we constantly had to have fraps going anytime we raided because of that one bard who's name escapes me but finally got suspended, but I digress, P99 was fun during the golden age but bat phoneing at 4am and shit got old real quick. not enough raid bosses for the top heavy server it became.

Coming from a standard player, never and officer or in with the cool kids crowd, it's all perception... I was never at any raid where there was shenanigans of exploit accusation etc. I must have just missed all of them! The biggest "thing" I was ever a part of was the "Sprite Golem incident" and that made a little p99 meme so it's all good!
