The problem will always be there unless something changes. Because there is no incentive to spend countless hours building a server, and eventually life takes priority. You can only do something as a hobby for so long before you feel you should be compensated for your hard work and time put in. Especially when someone else is going to profit from it.
There's just no real reason for anyone to want to spend one or more years of their life working on something that will only get some thanks from players who appreciate it. Especially people who have to work and pay rent and support family or other people. It's fine for people who are young or supported by someone else, because it gives you a lot of free time to do whatever you want. But even then, where is the reward for all of the work?
That's why it is so hard to get a playerworld completed. If the manager could even stay around for several years, they would still have to find scripters and people to make content who also could work several hours a day for free. It's just a lot harder to do when everyone wants to make their own server and only have skills in certain areas. |
