Zodiac isn't made better than GK. Zodiac was slapped together over night and over time it got fixed up, and even now the quality of Zodiac's design is no match for GK's. More productive? Yes, definitely. However, It is very hard to get work done for GK for several reasons:

1) The lack of people willing to help due to laziness, unreliability, no motivation, or the gold/classic barrier.
2) The quality of work required for Zodiac is minuscule when compared to the quality of work required for GK. The work required for GK is very high quality when compared to classic servers, and there are very few people on Graal who are able to produce this kind of work.
3) GK's current systems are quite hard to work with because of the way they have been set up. GK's mudlib design makes it extremely hard to maneuver the systems and add new things. Almost each time I want to add something new and creative to GK I have to contact Stefan to add new functions to the npc-server in order to get it to work.

I'm definitely not against what you're saying in your post, but merely correcting where you're wrong
Obviously Zodiac is doing something right because it's one of the most popular servers.

Point taken I guess the GFX and scripting for GK must have been more difficult but i believe the most significant difference between the servers is that the admins on Zodiac take into account what players of the server have to offer (their ideas) which I'm pretty sure both the Gold servers do poorly (Zone and GK)

Player suggestions are good however not all of them are practical to implement into the server. I'm not sure about Zone but I know GK welcomes good ideas for the server if the player is willing to do some work on his/her idea.

I think that Zodiac Is already more efficiently spending its staff members time more effectively compared to that of what I've noticed on GK. I believe with the right decisions GK could continue being better then Zodiac but only if they start listening to the players contributions.

Ideas on GK are taking into account, however, they are alot harder to impliment than on Zodiac.

Zodiac thrives in development as there are plenty of low-mediocre skilled workers avaliable, but GK requires skillful staff WITH gold.

It's my understanding that staff generally don't work for servers they don't play.
