You mean time frame? Or 'era'?
Just about all of them... the staff team of late has been huge in comparison. There used to be a few admins and small team of devs. The same core staff over the past 3-4 years has been probably 20+ people. There's people who simply login once every few months and get a RC multiple times for no reason at all (Exolia, Reese, Fewyn, Zach, etc.)
Then you throw in that ETA gets RC now, and they split GBA into 3 seperate ****ing positions when the whole thing together wasn't enough work for me and I had to be PRA too while handling half of the ETA duties (actually lol'd when I saw them get separated). There's individual admins for LAT, Gani, GFX... they even hired sound guys again to do :themes. Honestly, all this work can be outsourced or done by one guy. The PR team used to be tight knit with maybe 4 active people there for years per term.. now they hire 8 new dudes every other month.
Hell they gave Nas a job, Amber is PSA, and they summoned me and told me to go on RC like a week ago.. no one has asked/assigned me to do anything yet.
Awhile back MD would hire anyone who gave him 5 bucks (literally).. and Fidel had free reign to be a dictator because the PWA are MIA.
3 years ago, GC got fired within 12 hours for trying to actually build a decent team... Chris Vimes ran the server with legitimately 4 RC'd staff members (it looked like GK) and there was a average player count >125 still.
So naw.. I've never seen the team bigger or more free-run than in the most recent administrations; which ironically boast the lowest player-counts.
Let's be realistic here, I wouldn't expect a Graal# to have played with me prior to 2008 anyway.
