But that in itself is a huge headache. You can see my concern. Nothing is secure. The volunteers could slave away and some twist of cruel fate could see the I.P. holder pulling the plug. If not that then the unpaid volunteers team's own fatigue. We appreciate all you do and your labour of love, but let's be honest this isn't a soup kitchen. You are trying to run an entire MMO, with a small crew who do not get paid, and have moments of low morale and real life interfering. I'm not trying to be Debbie Downer, I'm trying to be realistic in how feasible it is to achieve some of these goals.
