I certainly (do not) feel like I am "owed" anything by the Dev Team. If they wanted to they could pull the plug tonight, shut down the server forever, and I would not be able to say anything, in honesty, except that they gave me a great game to play for over a year, that I loved playing, could play no where else, and they did it all for free.
I get that the Dev motivations have nothing to do with making me happy. They do this for their own reasons, and those reasons may have nothing to do with me, the players, the guilds, or anything else except their own personal desires.
I find it hard, however, to believe that you really think the players here are just "a little bunch of ants". As a player who considers himself loyal to your team and loyal to your project, I find it disappointing if the Dev team really doesn't care at all about the gaming public here---then again, I've already said that it would surprise me if that were really the case. I just don't get why the need to post it.
I'm not saying the players should be your motivation to do anything or that your own reasons shouldn't be paramount to put this much time and other personal resources into the project, but don't the player's matter at all to you? I hope you aren't totally honest when you say that they don't.

I couldn't have said it better, myself. Back when I seriously played, the reason I fought so hard against DA and all the bullshit they pulled was because I thought there were enough players that wanted to see a clean game this time around that they could be forced out.
Sadly, P99 has turned into exactly what live was. Whoever cheated better won...and the saddest part of it is that most of the members in the responsible guild(s) don't have a clue.
I still think shit can change come Kunark...but the devs need to step on the pissants that ARE ruining their game. The sandbox is only fun if people keep playing in it.
