Staff Changes

[feanan]

So is the point of the "passion project" to make them money?
Are those at the top making bank?

Are they not proud of what they've done here?

Why wouldn't they want to release it, and let people do what they want with it?

Unless, of course, somehow a decrease in server population someone equates to a loss of money

Yeah, that's totally a reasonable request [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Hey Khaleesi, can you spend nearly a decade of your life working on a passion project in your free time, and also recruit a bunch of other volunteers to help, then after all that time can you just give me all of your work, both so I can start a competing project and so that I can use it to cheat on your project?

Don't get me wrong: I would love to see fifty different fan-run servers that all have the quality of P99 (both in terms of staff and in terms of the database/code). But I certainly wouldn't expect anyone else, let alone them and their team of volunteers, to all work for years and then give me the fruit of their labor, especially since by definition that would entail giving up all of the secrets of the game.
