I think a big problem right now is the interaction between the developers and users has been severed for the most part in EQEMu. All people who have been giving code additions have not been getting the attention they deserve (KLS for example, think thats the name). Either way its up to the current developers to take responsibility for the project. Most of the developers that have moved on are on new projects or working and don't have the time.
And yeah the early EQEMu years were pretty destructive, but the passion for developing EQEMu was much stronger at that period of time as well. So I think it somewhat balanced itself out and it began calming down for the most part. All I can say is it would be good to learn from those mistakes
