Please try to be nice. This is nothing new to EQEmu. Personally, I wouldn't even consider getting hyped about a server until it had been up at least 3 months straight and growing well with a good steady support team.
It is well known that many people come here posting grand ideas for servers and maybe even start developing or even opening them to the public, but that a large percentage of them don't last more than a couple of months. I think most of the time they may not have realized how much work they were getting themselves into. Either that, or they opened their server and didn't get the player-base they wanted right away and it made them lose interest. Or, maybe they thought their ideas would generate a team of talented and interested developers that would do most of the work for them.
Coming up with an idea for a unique and interesting server is one thing, but making it happen is a whole other deal. Creating content, managing player issues, maybe a small dev team, a website, and so on is a very time consuming thing to do. It takes quite a bit of patience, persistence, and devotion that not everyone is up to.
