Of course, if it goes too far, the PWA would have to step it to avoid a complete ripoff.
But if they do it better, and your players flock to their server because of it, you should be trying to do it even better than them. Only if the two servers alike, I guess. I mean, if Zodiac used Valikorlia's baddy scripts (not that we have them right now ), it wouldn't really matter if Zodiac did them better; Valikorlia isn't a PK server. But if it was...

I generally agree with you, though.

Well, yeah. I wouldn't have any problem sharing any of my scripts with developers. But if all the servers end up "working together" in this way, without trying to one-up their competition, then there's really no point in having multiple servers, unless they're all unique is some other way (RP server, PK, single-player quests, etc.)... Most servers are very similar, though.
