    I was told it comes from Harry Potter where Voldermort is a name that people aren't suppose to mention. Fitting for a wizard roleplaying game.

    It was kind of their own doing... I read one of their admins' reasoning for not fixing actual bugs and had to shake my head. Essentially because certain bugs existed in the T2A era it was set in stone, regardless of whether or not the shard eventually dies because of them. It was a "museum" and they honestly didn't care if 100 people played the shard or 0. Just as long as it existed with all game breaking bugs intact, stuff OSI deemed necessary to fix.
