As for the bit about motivation and such... also true... but what can I say? There are 100+ servers, of course you're not going to find staff. But for anyone who REALLY wants to get a server done, you have to try to set standards. And I just don't see the point in relying on inactive staff, are their few contributions a month really helping? If they're the only one on your staff that has that kind of skill... it'll take forever to get the server done. I'd rather see a server full of mediocre stuff that's actually done than a server with a few good pieces of work.

Still the staff motivation example applys. There is lack of decent developers these days and rare to even find skilled ones so managers will keep all the help they can get unless they already have some pretty dedicated staff and can wipe the inactives which usually isn't the case in most servers today.
And the 100 + servers wont change except get bigger. Everyone wants to buy their own server to get OMG KOOL LVL4 RIGHTZ to abuse. And cyberjoueurs will just love it because its more money for them with the addition that this server will not even use up much bandwidth or space. I cannot imagine how many servers i hopped on, gave critique on the quality of the content and heard "Do you want to get banned?". Just for pure abuse people want to buy them, think up ridiculous ideas they can never get accomplished because there isnt much quality developers these days to go help new people. You literally don't get quality developers unless you have a good friend whos real good or if you're known around the community.
But you will
never see a successful playerworld that isnt on the classic/hosted tab again because more and more developers quit. Except for maybe toms server, it has potential
