Why not Vhab? The MMORPG Ryzom which is commercial too, has even gone Open Source lately.
Maybe it would not be so bad for AO to do that too.

I'm puzzled... What is DB doing in Ryzom?

MP in sneak eNSDed me and did about 20k damage in 10-12 seconds
Seeing how much time it takes to patch servers, I don't want FC to do it often :P

soooo, servers are still up and its wednesday....no new playfield today or what?
I was actually commenting on 'release often' rather than open source with my statement about not finding it suitable for AO.
From what I've gathered, pushing out patches is a time hogging task in AO.
Best not to waste too much of FC's limited resources on patching more often.
Why wouldn't they?
Testing software and reporting bugs is a way of contributing to the development of software.
If you had a tool you use often, wouldn't you want to help out a little to make it better?
And of course there are those who just want early access to new features

Formerly Vhab.
Once upon a time ruled a server. And then sold out. Sorry.
There's 7 or so reasons why anyone would want to do beta testing... That's 2 important ones you listed. I didn't mean that it's beyond me why anyone would do that, but that the motivation in this case was uncertain to me.
If you want a "why wouldn't they": For instance, even though it would be for the greater good to help you out, with my available playtime being very scarce I'd very much just like a bot that works all the time and due to bot hosting concerns / cross-org chat functionality, deploying a new build every so often would be really painful. My hat's off to everyone who does, though (even if I don't have one in the avatar ) and specifically for you, Vhab for that great piece of software.

Actually, this was about my chat client
Which is a bit easier to deploy and test.
But thank you regardless.

Being OCD with your code organization is never a bad thing imo.

Yes, what does OCD have to do with trimming a bush? If it's some joke I've clearly missed it

I see.
In my experience, with my own mother being OCD, she's more a "must organize everything efficiently and keep it clean" rather then a purge type till nothing's left. That's what I meant by OCD with code, clean and well documented, no doodles in the margins type thing.
