My thoughts
You want honest or political?
I'll go with honest. If I throw any duckets you guys' way, its gotta be open source. I don't mind throwing $100 or so for a solution, but I'm not throwing that out there for a bandaid to an amputee, or something that will be stale in a year because devs that own the software go inactive. My take is, show me that it will be open source and there is some work being done to put it in action and I'll start the donations.
Political?
Well I'd say we need to meet half way, create a login server for the community that allows them to create their own accounts and let the two login servers (the one for EQEMU and for the server) co-exist, so if either login server is down someone can still at least login to the server. It would be great for people that wish to bypass the laggy website to create a login account and it would also bypass a LOT of load on the main login server itself.
This means that the login servers would be completely separate entities, each pulling in its own username and password, so in theory, userA can login from server's login server but never have to create an account for EQEmu... and visa-versa.
