Flex homie, all of that was announced and at the time they said it will happen after Velious is finished. Nilbog just said Velious ain't finished. They've been updating spawn tables and quest exp rewards in noob zones for months. You don't do that kind of detail work in starting zones if you're not prepping for new servers. Just click the lank and read Nilbog's post.
Re: GG: He was on staff and wanted access to bust cheaters but Rogean kept his hands tied. Eventually he went off the rails and they booted him from the staff and Braknar posted his FB and other personal information. So then GG posted the entire skype chat log of his entire time on staff, which included a comment from I believe Sirken that one of the GMs made over $10,000 selling items off of banned accounts. Luckily it seems they're still cool with Daybreak but that had the potential to get the whole thing shut down.
