You seem to be forgetting how initially successful all of our past attempts with Lance were. I remember at least three different re-releases that held approximately 200-300 players for around a month before interest was slowly lost due to lack of updates in lieu of all effort being moved to debugging.

It was getting frustrating to me, as it was quite apparent each time that the main problem was lack of testing and ability to keep up with the demand while keeping the server functional. It just requires a lot of scripters. That will free up the whole development team to meet requirements for updates.

The last re-release of Lance's was ridiculously promising. Some might remember it. It was a time when a lot of new ideas were being implemented and quite a few of them I was quite fond of. There was some extremely valuable effort put into that project as it was running toe-to-toe with Konidias' one. I for one can say that I put more effort into that one that any previous versions I had worked on. We nearly completely fixed Antora, made new kingdoms and sub-kingdoms and outposts. I had a lot of hope riding on it and it was pretty close...

After all that, I find what I saw completed so far with Contiga as unbelievably astounding and even better than I had hoped. I really liked what had been done with the Pirate Crew's base the most.
