a synopsis of this crisis?
I don't think that anybody has ever written up a thesis on the
subject, so your best bet is probably just to go digging through the
archives from January/February 2003..
In a nutshell, a player named Annabel played for a few months in 1999
and again for a couple of weeks in 2001. A couple of years later, it
was revealed that "Annabel" was in fact an illegal dual registration
and was never an actual player, throwing the game state into a morass
of uncertainty, which was somewhat complicated by a lack of archives
from before 2000.
Some contend that the fall-out from the Annabel crisis was never
properly resolved, and that we are no longer playing Agora as a
result.

It would be interesting to make a list of all the
scams/disputes/oddities that have happened over the years.
