This is no news to me, being victim of this corruption not once but twice. It has a long history of corruption, especially with guilds and pvp.
This servers staff will ban you for simply suspecting corruption of an admin. Even when you have past evidence of them abusing pvp. Suspecting corruption = disrespect ( apparently? ) even when you are reporting suspicions to another admin. If you cannot suspect how on earth can you ask questions regarding the matter?
It all started when Jake began killing me frequently in Izlude PvP on his secret "legit" This secret legit was used against me to kill me in a harassful manner. He'd use @who to find my location and virtually wouldn't allow me to enjoy pvp as other players have. This legit was far from legit I'll point out >.> FAR from legit. What kind of mature admin goes out killing players based on meaningless grudges such as... "Oh she knew something about RO client that I didn't and proved it... so I'm going to take it personally and kill her with my char that know one knows about"
After freaking out in PM to Melody ( bad idea ) that the GM team was using favoritism in pvp, she screen shotted it and sent it to her crush ( Jake ) and Jake of course banned me. But not after abusing his GM powers on my char by warping me and allowing other players to kill me for his personal amusement... ( Yeah thats corrupt in itself )
Either way I came back about 6 months later, thinking that I could change some things and maybe catch a few corrupt GMs. I created a guild called "Broken Wings" which was devoted to being fair to everyone, not provoking attacks in pvp/woe ( unless it was against GM favored guilds ). Eventually it became the 3rd/4th largest guild in the server. Maybe bigger... It was allied with Divine and many of the anti-corruption guilds. Either way during that time I caught a GM cheating using her commands to mass spawn bathories and then jump on her legit to kill them. This GM is aka GM-Sharu, Jake's girlfriend at the time.
Surprising huh? First the pvp abuse and now his gf caught in the act of corruption? Not only was her star gladiator killing bathories but it had a merchant cart too! This was frequently seen with GM favored players from Izlude, where most of these players would have carts/falcons etc. There were many reports of GMs giving items to these players.
Either way there were a couple guilds created I cant remember the first one... The second was "Raiders of the lost Panty" But both originally contained most of the GM staff's legits and every GM friend ( including the donators which had every imaginable item that was good for pvp ) you can think of. This guild had something like 5 castles every WoE where as other legit guilds that have been there much longer... only had 2.
Either way I witnessed time and time again where secret events would be held for this guild's members and allies that none of the rest of the server even knew about. All held by GM-Sharu, this also includes other notable public events in which this GMs sister would win and in almost every instant where the prize was worth anything... The "Raiders of the Lost Panty" members would win every event. Sure maybe 2 times... but like 30 times is pushing the random chance barrier. I came to the conclusion that these events were rigged as well. Many players agreed with me and reported to Crono.
But Crono was either part of the corruption or in absolute denial of it, because I reported the bathory incident to him but he never did a thing ( from what I could tell ) Gm-Sharu continued to abuse day in and day out... and giving that many players were coming in with reports of abuse... You'd think someone would do something about it?
Either way, eventually I told Crono I suspected Jake of the source, and the next day Jake is @kicking me from the game while I was hunting mastala fruits from grand peco peco. He did this about 5 times until I told him to stop >.> Then he @killed my char, and BAM I'm warped to Izlude PvP where he demotes my character to a 1/1 novice. I cant remember the entire conversation but eventually I said "I am allowed to suspect corruption" and his response was "Well I suspect you are a b*tch" I also told him about catching his GF ( his gf was there at the time ) she called me a "b*tchy something whore" cant remember what "something" was. Keep in mind I am not throwing any insults back.
Either way I was later banned, and Crono re-enforced lies about me saying how I "walked up to jake and called him corrupt" Being forced to a place against my will and changed to a 1/1 novice is considered "walking up" to him? I heard that someone posted screenshots of what happened in pvp during that time and the thread deleted because they supported me more than them.
Either way I left the Deli drama behind me, over the year I have heard a few stories. Regarding Melody and Jake, how Sharu broke up with Jake because he was cheating on her with Melody, and Melody recieving free items like GTB card from Jake. "Oh Melody want this GTB card? I killed one GTB and it dropped a card!" Yeah right >.>
Anyway even later on when Jake went to his boot camp I heard another story regarding Melody. How Melody had access to Jake's GM account and she was doing things with his power. In which case I think Crono demoted Jake when he found out. Keep in mind this is just something I heard. Either way.. Jake is no innocent when it comes to any of this e-drama. Do not trust him... and for Crono I suggest not trusting him either... considering he is the one who sat by and let all this happen in the first place. Inaction can lead to corruption too.
Edit: Added a few little things. Veirt Crystal Horizon is a relatively new guild compared to other guilds.
