Look, the issue here is not how the rest of Zodiac's scripters stack up against Yen, not really. They probably could overhaul the entire system if they wanted to (though that wouldn't mean that the new system would be better.) The real issue is that one of two things is happening.
1. Most of the changes will be scriptural and fairly irrelevant. There may be new features but they could have been implemented without making huge scriptural changes to the server. The server will not change much but the code behind it will. Not because this will make the server drastically more efficient or otherwise better, but because they want to "cleanse" the server of Yen's code for almost no reason besides the fact that it is Yen's.
or
2. The system actually will be overhauled and gameplay drastically changed, in which case the question is "why?" Zodiac is one of the most successful servers and overhauling the system is unlikely to increase the playercount, especially since it will require a reset (if it doesn't, then it isn't a real overhaul). The reason they will have done it will be either to "cleanse" the server of Yen's code in a justifiable way, or the "new system" will be purely an artistic pursuit, made because the staff like it more, and don't care whether or not the players like it more (or some combination of the two). |
