A variant on my theory:
Nirgon is Platlord and actually works for Sirken and Rogean, who generate PP for him to sell to unsuspecting RMTers so that the devs always have a database of who to ban. Knowing that those players will ultimately come back and buy more plat they create a never ending cycle of cash flow for themselves. Nirgon gets busted selling uppers with the plat that he was given and the devs sell Nirgon out as a bargaining chip to the feds, and rather than ban the account with all of the platinum they just publicly retire his forum account. This explains why platlord is never banned and why Nirgon is never banned. The devs then switch to selling items as platlord rather than platinum to keep the economy from being saturated, thus keeping the value of PP high enough to establish a market rate on items and allow velious inflation to not hurt their cash flow based upon the amount of pp that will be pumped into the economy then. This also explains the sudden and astronomical spike in price for the AoN, as it now has a real world value attached to it proportional to the amount of PP it is worth in game.

Platlord wouldn't have time for 20,000 posts about shock of lightning having a knockback component. Hes too busy doing burnouts in his Tesla and killing it irl. This myth is busted.
