I remember when we killed Mistez(5-10 times totally), he ALWAYS had AOL, and instantly came back when dying with a new AOL. This was when the server had just started. I told Fribben about this and he just said "I will investigate it", but he never really did anything.
Anyway, also saw Mistez house 3 days after server start, he had 120K pure cash there, and when my friend came on a noobchar and asked him for a dragonhammer he gave him full eq, dragon shield etc and 10k pure cash.
I think this has been going on for a LONG time, either Fribben was involved or he did just not simply care about it.
