For an EQ server trying to get a foothold in a very small niche space even more so. We're one degree removed and this is how much we're already fighting over it in the space of a day.
This 'project' isn't about reputation or player count; I could care less how many people play on the server. That isn't the point. It is to recreate EQMac-era EQ, and provide the code and database needed for anyone to do so. A for-play server just happens to be something that exists that is officially supported by the team.

If the play server gets 0 people and some other person makes their own copy of the server, gets population, and still contributes back to our project, I would have no issue with that. I couldn't even give two shits if Toop, Rogean, P99, EQClassic who ever, used the code as long as they contributed back to our code repository.

Obviously I'd frown on someone making a server out of a vendetta they made up with a conspiracy in their own mind, but I won't hate them for it as long as they contribute back to us in some way.

Anyone who wishes to help fix the exp formula can download a copy of the code and make a pull request themselves. That is the kind of open-ness I am trying to foster here, not 'us-versus-you'.
