Bold'd is an overstatement of pretty much everyone that's ever worked on Era.
Here's the deal, Amsel.
This is a volunteer job. You're not promised anything in return for your work. These houses that staff have conjured up in the past have always included benefits for their friends. Always.
It's one thing if a staff member has a remote house he's made for himself that only he can get to. It's quite another thing when they allow a select group of friends to also get the benefits.
On how many other professional online games do you see staff members or GMs giving out special benefits to their friends? They don't. (Of course, they do get a paycheck. But once again, this is volunteer work. If you can't handle not getting some sort of tangible reward for your work, leave.) It tampers with the gameplay experience of everyone on the game. Maybe I'm taking this too seriously, but it's this nonchalant "who the hell cares, they're doing work for us, right?" that's gotten Graal to where it is today.
