Maybe if the servers had some sort of payment for the devs, such as rare items, tickets (if they were valuable), it would motivate them to work on stuff.

But yeah, working for free on something you don't have any heart for...can't imagine having any incentive to do it at all, much less with any quality.

Era or Zodiac, I forget which now, pays event coins for all staff through their time on rc. From what I've seen it just encourages idling.

One of our past Managers, who I really liked tried to encourage staff to do a positive job by rewarding them with a currency they could use in a "Staff shop". It was the one thing he did that I thought was a terrible idea.

By positive job, it meant if you didn't get fired for a month you got another coin.. or something along those lines.

The really good developers really don't seem to be impressed by that though. They want cash. One of the dev servers I think even tried that and it didn't seem to last. Probably because in that case it just encouraged script theft to hand over to the server to get money for.

Era gives out one EC coin for every seven hours on tag. It's not an outrageous incentive, however, I guess it's better than nothing. I think this is only for PR Staff also, not Dev.
