This is needed. At least there needs to be someone who is available for help when **** hits the fan.

There's only a few servers that are kind of complex (Zodiac, Era, and GK) and if they encounter any issues then it's always escalated up to Stefan. Pretty much every Playerworlds/GK server also has a scripter to tend to their minor issues.

The lack of development credentials would lead me to question their ability to approve servers for Hosted/Playerworlds status though.

that's what i mean
like how would Gaberil even know where to begin to judge development work when he doesn't know how its made or ever done it....
i think he has a lot to learn before he takes over as head

but anyways whose going to be the global account admin now ?

Any local scripter knows how their systems works better then any PWA. If theres a bug on a server that a scripter can't fix (a real server issue, not a script issue) it wouldn't even be the PWA's job to step in, it would be stefan's since he has direct access to the server. Sure they can try restarting the server, but staff on the server should know how to do that.

IMO, the PWA's duties is to keep stuff in order on classic servers (keep staff in line, make sure they are doing what they are suppose to, respecting the rules, etc) and for UC servers, help them with their issues like logging in when they can't, reseting passwords, adding their rights, etc.

But back to scripting, again, a PWA is not going to traceback through 10 scripts just to fix 1 bug. Most servers have over 3 scripters at least that are capable at finding and fixing it.

On era for example, very rarely do we need a PWA to help us with bugs, etc. It is mostly server issues like opening a port, deleting big files, lagg issues in which only stefan can help us.
