I take offense to the fact that you seem to think our database is "private." The fact of the matter is CVS is very easy to use, and if people can't figure out, then that is their problem. I update it frequently, so our software is anything but private. I am not one to push out half assed releases just for the sake of releasing something. When I push something out, I want it to be of the highest quality. The Ykesha release isn't ready, but I do agree it has been too long since the last true release so it needed to get out. Maybe once the epics are all complete, and we get the few zones overhauled we wanted to, I'll do push a RC1.
I also take offense to the fact that you feel the server is the main part of the project and is about "fame." I agree we are concerned about gameplay... those corrections or bug fixes in the code go right to the EQEmu CVS. Looking down the EQEmu changelog I can list at least 20 items that either I requested or reported because of Grand Creation. But, the main purpose of the server is the database and quests, both of which I spend hours a day working on. The players are aware of the fact that the server itself is the least of my priorities, and as long as I do care about their concerns (which I am) they are happy and continue to feed me with database bug rerports and suggestions.
