Default Problem

The problem is NOBODY has a 100% Complete Database.
Even the top servers are not absolutly complete.
You will still find problems with zone lines.
Nobody is even close to getting all of the pathing done.
It's slow going.
Every time SOE Changes something, adds something or removes something it sets us all back.
We don't have all the data we need packet collected yet.
The EMU Does not fully support all of the live features yet so some things are not the DBs fault.
Also everbody wants to rant about how there is no fully working DB will all zones fully functional with correct spawns and loot and such.
However I have yet to see any of these people who like to complain so much do anything to offer a hand in the development of a database.
They just sit back and keep launching complaints like they have some right to have a script ready to source in that just magically makes everything work.
With a project like this if nobody wants to help then everybody suffers.

Now I'm not saying that your not contributing. I myself just am working on expanding my C++ skills and well as my knowledge of the DB and mysql in an attempt to help whereever I can however an disturbing ammount of the EQEMU user base seem to expect everything to be handed on a silver platter and not help at all.

I searched really quick but could not find the post I was looking for but it has been said in the past that if everybody pitched in instead of complaining all the time we would have already had a 100% complete database by now.
