This is where it started..some people from A&H went to Starvald, said members jumped a day or two before a planned A&H Vox Raid. Starvald exploited vox and got the kill 1 day before A&H planned raid. Also appeared that Starvaled boxed one of A&Hs mages for the kill. Next Vox pop, A&H is in prep room, Starvald jumps ahead and uses levi trick to get to vox backdoor. GM appears and says you cannot use levi trick to get to vox backdoor, and tells starvald to go to prep. A&H proceeds to clear IGs > Engages Vox > Wipes. Starvald jumps in and kills Vox during A&H wipe. GM shows up and resets Vox. i don't remember the details after that. This is essentially the start to takp drama + "GM enforced raid rot"

Your details are a little muddied with time, it was more like both A&H and SD were in the King area when Vox window was due, with 1 or 2 ultra-bored players on both sides playing around with levitate when the GM came along and asked both sides not to do it. After a short while A&H suicide & ressed past the 4 mobs between king and the rock to Vox's lair, Vox coincidentally spawned shortly after they finished that manouver.

SD, who was a guild with 4-5 people in it who had already resigned themselves to probably hardly ever getting any dragon kills with the behemoth A&H on the server, proceeded with their strategy of implied pressure and tactically bunny-hopped a&h at the boulder, after clearing up from king while a&h cleared the giants in the lair. The plan worked perfectly, a&h paniced and Main Tank the Warlord led a flimsy poorly executed charge on Vox with most of the guild still sitting around outside in prep. After the dust settled, SD went back in (after falling back on the a&h engage) to fight Vox in a 4 minute fight cause of their low #s, the entire time in which A&H was petitioning and /tell'ing the GMs trying to pretend that normal codes of conduct on EQ emus insist that the guild to clear the lair of giants has some kind of kill window, which they eventually succeeded in as the GMs #kill'd vox as SD was about to finish her and began enforcing rotation discussions.

I'm not as familiar with the (unrelated) banning events that happened, but the bans were still probably the major part of the reason the a&h officers left the server though, understandably.
