Secrets,

Let me tell you I too am actually sick of it as well, and I don't care if it offends everyone. Unfortunately for me I've been trying to develop a server with some unique custom rulesets, and personally I am finding it difficult mainly because I cannot keep testers around long because I'm not offering 25x EXP, phat lewt, etc.

My original plan was to have a classic type server and offer unique PVP rules that would help balance EQ's PVP somewhat. I've decided to switch directions recently because I can't get/keep players on my server because not everyone wants the same old EQ grind they did 10 years ago. We've taken the direction of a hub zone and custom zones that hopefully when we roll them out will help attract players.

If you're a developer and need help testing your code its very difficult to do unless you get a good playerbase going, all the testing i've done with 1-2 man testing groups work fine and then others log into my server and find bugs that we never found without them.
