I don't remember this. I remember the days before
any staff, when it was just GPs. Back then the GPs policed, and as far as development went there were no staff because there were no teams. Playerworld development rarely relied on an actual staff, and just player submissions. So players tended to make their own houses, thus had to be responsible for the levels, scripts and graphics since... well it was just their house. Then some people like Antago excelled and got dungeons, or islands or more extravagant things created for the playerworld beyond just a house.
From what I recall, there were no development staff until making your own server was beginning to get serious. Then again, this was a long time ago and my memories are vage.
