I get that people probably wouldn't care about this dimension, but just for the sake of putting it out there:
When I first heard about this server, I (as a dev for a different, highly custom server) kind of felt sorry for whoever was working on it. Piecing together someone else's work from a decade ago based mostly on crappy, rumor-filled second-hand sources doesn't sound fun at all. I guess there's a kind of "archeological" aspect to it which someone could theoretically like if they're into martialing information, and for programmers solving problems always feels at least a little bit good, regardless of what the problem is.
But, for the most part, it seems like an absurd amount of work to put in just to make sure you, as a developer, never get to do anything creative or interesting lest players be subjected to a novel experience.
I get that the server runs on nostalgia. But I think the devs have earned a break, if they want it.

But it's so much fun re-researching and defending every change you make against obscure and possibly out of context references! The end result definitely keeps me going at least, although I for one am definitely looking forward to shrugging off the chains of endless research and being creative, I know some of the others are as well.
