Why would there be more developers? I can't speak for anyone else, but I wouldn't be sticking around if I wasn't working on Era, and I don't see any reason to believe any of the other various scripters on UC servers would stick around.

And I learned so much working on several UC servers before the new system was introduced. What is your point?

The point is that UC servers give you a place to learn to script while doing practical things and seeing your scripts in action. Testbed doesn't cut it.

I didn't need to have experience working on a server to develop my level-making skills to the point where they could get me hired.
Again, you don't need to be hired to start developing your skills. You're thinking in a box.

Where else would you learn to script? Testbed? I don't really think it's a secret that Testbed is hardly used by new scripters.

One of the things that can prevent me from working is the idea that my work will go to waste for one reason or another. You should see where I'm going with this.

Then you should switch projects. There are plenty of servers that could use an extra scripter where your work would be used immediately. What's
your point?

Anyhow, methinks a good interim move to make short of rolling back to the old system would be to make hosted servers free to develop for. It would be a good way to draw developers to those servers if it doesn't cost you money.

I fully support a system which allows UC servers to hire a certain number of workers without them requiring gold.

Edit: Question for Chris and salesman, did you start developing before or after current system was introduced?

I was before, Sales was after (though he played before).
