This whole topic has been an interesting read. I read a fair few comments as well. The only thing I am probably capable of saying is in regards to the coding. I have done a fair few years of on/off C++ coding for World of Warcraft servers. A simple stable release (with a good host and server machine) would rarely crash now days. But guess what... Every server and core currently still in development and use, is an adaption of a previous server/core. On top of that, the main core developing teams (Trinity, Mangos and ArcEmu) have a full team of main developers and many many other contributors (they are open source projects). Again on top of that, as I previously said, all servers now days run off cores that were previous adaptions. Meaning half the code was already written when these new dev teams got a hold of it.
PWO didn't have the luxury of being able to have a ginormous starting step, a massive development team or even getting paid for their labor. Then people complaining about PWO's coding. Yes, it is flawed. Yes, it crashes. No, you couldn't do a better job whilst still maintaining a life outside of PWO. >.>
Only other thing I could probably comment on is (even though I'm fairly new to PWO community), while CG's do seem to be a little trigger happy with mute. Normally that wouldn't bother me. But I have almost never seen a single "Community Guide" even respond to someone on the Help channel. It's as if power has been given with neglect of responsibility. I haven't seen them guide anyone that didn't involve a mute.
