I totally agree with the lack of good staff. I've had close to half a dozen people "work" on Oasis with me, and none of them have lasted over a week or two except Falados, and he really only does things when he is in the mood, wearing his lucky shoes, on a full stomache, with nothing else to do. (meaning he rarely seems to have time to help)
Money does not stop you from being lazy. People that don't own the playerworld just don't care if it makes progress, and the people that do care, usually don't have the talent needed. I never planned on scripting most of the stuff for Oasis myself but I'm being forced to, as I have no other alternative. I've had 3 of the best scripters on Graal and progress is still painstakingly slow.
However, I'm greatful for Kaimetsu, Loriel, and Falados, for the scripting they DID provide. I just feel there is a lack of effort/dedication from people and that they give up when there isn't instant gratification. Nearly all the people that have worked for Oasis, now work for Era. Why? Because all of the sudden, Era is online, with tons of people, and it's popular, so bye bye Oasis with a private server and no people, and hello popularity and praise.
