I think I've had nearly every well known scripter work for me at one point in time and they all bailed out. It's a LOT easier said than done.

I'm pretty sure Wan would help me out with levels. I'm pretty sure Malinko would help me with scripting. I'm pretty sure my danish friend would help with gfx. That's all I need. Wan alone spits out high quality worldmaps in no time. Malinko works when you want him to, my friend most likely does the same.

It's obvious you don't have experience with this so it's better that you don't make a fool of yourself by saying things like you just did. You can't just release a server and dedicate your time to working on new content. You have to do so many other things as manager that you're hardly going to find time to work on anything new. You have to worry about bugs/glitches, hackers, corruption among staff, player disputes, making sure players like the content you DID develop, finding out what the players want you to make, keeping your staff active and interested in the project, etc etc etc.

You're right, which is why I'm not going to pay 100 dollars or offer to be manager like other people. The ones that HAVE released, though, have to put some work into their servers. They can't sit around and act like the server is going to evolve itself. The manager does not have to put up with player disputes, glitches, etc. That's the job of an
admin.

You can't just release a bunch of stuff and be done with it and start working on new stuff. It's just not that simple.

Which is why I said you develope this privately BEFORE GOING CLASSIC. You ensure you have content which will last you a while.

If it was, this thread wouldn't exist, and neither would the problem that you're bringing attention to.

It's not my fault managers are being so slow. Hardly anything's changed since 2003-2004.
