I appreciate all the hard work everyone has done developing EQEmu and PEQ so far.

This is personally what has brought me here. To relive the classic type experience without the nostalgia. Cavedude brings up a point that there are people without the ability and skill to develop into the source code itself, rather than just writing some simple scripts for quests and events within the zones. The tools provided by GeorgeS and others make developing your own server easy, even if you are just by yourself. Just search the forums (which it seems there are a lot that can't even do so much as that) and make sure you read the instructions and follow along.
Sourcing in updates, packet collecting, and putting in the time needed are a far different ball game. Once again this is pure voluntary and isn't a paid full time job, therefore none of us have the right to demand anything out of anyone. We can only continue to appreciate what the community puts in and expect nothing more. The people who have put thousands of hours into this project have my sincerest gratitude as being the sole developer of a server I understand what it takes, especially if you don't want to be releasing half ass quests and zones.
