Paying to Develop?

[TedHead2k]

A better angle on this is that Graal gets the money that people are paying to enjoy other people's work.

Correct me if I'm wrong, I may have a misunderstanding, but I don't believe anyone who works on Unholy Nation staff gets a single cent. They have created the most successful Graal server out there. Correct me if I'm wrong again, but I don't think that anybody in development of the Classic servers actually gets anything, just a "frozen" account, and Classic and Hosted servers are a lot more popular than the Gold ones.

A large majority of players get accounts only to play on Classic or Hosted servers, myself included. But the people who are making these servers that are most successful aren't getting anything. Just the "satisfaction" of being on the official Classic list and being in charge. Well, if that's good enough motivation for you to spend hours of work on a server, then go for it, but I really don't see anything attractive about the idea.
