I'm sorry but you really don't understand how difficult that is. Gather up a loyal and experienced team? You made me laugh out loud. That's almost impossible. Like I said, these people volunteer their time. You won't find anyone loyal unless you're paying them. It's harsh, but true. I went through staff like they were going out of style. I think I've had nearly every well known scripter work for me at one point in time and they all bailed out. It's a LOT easier said than done.
It's obvious you don't have experience with this so it's better that you don't make a fool of yourself by saying things like you just did. You can't just release a server and dedicate your time to working on new content. You have to do so many other things as manager that you're hardly going to find time to work on anything new. You have to worry about bugs/glitches, hackers, corruption among staff, player disputes, making sure players like the content you DID develop, finding out what the players want you to make, keeping your staff active and interested in the project, etc etc etc.
You can't just release a bunch of stuff and be done with it and start working on new stuff. It's just not that simple.
If it was, this thread wouldn't exist, and neither would the problem that you're bringing attention to.
