Response:
None.

Well he/she is a one man army in terms of scripting.

Managers of a classic server should Manage, not script.

Uh, not really. Lead by example?

It's not like "managing" takes much work, or any work at all really. More gets done when you do it yourself rather than trusting, or trying to force, others to do it.

I just spilled my soda. While rolling on the floor. Laughing. My *** off.

If you've ever been a manager, you know what a hard job it is. You have to keep all the players happily, and even harder--keeping all the staff on task.

A lot of classic servers have a manager that JUST takes care of players and staff, doesn't do any deving. For good reason, too.

I've been a manager of a popular classic playerword when it was at the largest playercount it's been at in about 5 years.

How about you?

You keep the players happy BY developing. It's one and the same. If as a manager you yourself release good content, the players have faith in not only you, but faith in the staff you hire.

Management becomes a lot harder when you attempt to start juggling NOT doing work as much as you can, rather than just doing it.

It's really not hard to script and make levels while you handle some stuff on AIM and RC, it just involves the desire to do so.

Also, Tort's post is loaded with truth.
