Developers getting payed

[Haarek]

Yes and with pretty much every developer FL has had so far, it starts off with a few updates being released from them which slowly slows down into almost nothing. Output depends on motivation too, which if there's none then there will be hardly any output. I think the discussion is more trying to find ways to maintain developer motivation.

I agree.

succeeding in raising the player-count can help with motivation. Naturally it is more motivation developing for an active server.
I however don't think materialistic rewards solves any problem. 

I’d still be doing development with or without any reward, however when there is so little respect and so much toxicity (albeit from a vocal minority), it’s no surprise that some can feel demotivated.

I acknowledge the hardship and commend you for your updates. Since I know you dedicated time and effort into the mining update, we all do. 


Ghostkiller, that is correct. I don't know how to do it. Thankfully we have people that do, they dedicate their spare-time into the server out of loyalty for the community and not for in-game rewards or cash.
