Sad your comprehension is that low. 1 year is not a "very limited period of time" either.

IIRC the first rules against training, griefing, etc were released in the fall of 1999 (at least that's when we started being given those rules as CSR). Before that the GMs ran the server(s) they were assigned to the way they wanted to...so you could have some servers where GMs were imposing rules and others where there were like zero rules.

DPS racing isn't griefing, it was part of the game for the entire 1st year. GM's could not go against that, it was the rule from the head devs, and players could call the actual support line and report GM's.

I wasn't talking about DPS racing I meant the general other things you'd see happening. Training for example. Rules about sharing camps, etc.

[Zuranthium]

There was no rule about sharing camps before the play nice policy. Everything was determined by who got the kill, or just the politics of not wanting to interfere with a camp because you think it will cause unwanted drama.

I'm aware of that. My point was that those rules came out earlier than 2000 IIRC. At least I remember being told to now enforce camp sharing in late 1999

No they didn't. The PnP created a huge shift in the way people played the game. There was NO such thing as "camp enforcement" before that.
