No, because no one knew about it, and there was no way to prove it for a while, until the protocol was hacked.

People did gripe about the lack of night vision, and the questionable judgement about started Erudites in a dark noob zone (some supposition was that due to their high int, the decision to not give them a racial vision was done far too in the development phase to change anything).

To add to that, Verant/989 was belligerent about so many things that it took the anti-TOS network sniffer tool to prove some of the assertions about things.

IIRC correctly, which I might not...

I don't think they realized they'd fucked up the XP bonus to hobbits vs humans until then.

It was a long time after Alchemy was given to Shaman that they acknowledged it was broken after a certain level (they had been testing by using admin only tools to create characters of a certain level, rather than leveling them up, where the bug was manifesting itself)

Other things which I've forgotten
