This is like saying, that you read them and agreed to them, but figured "what the hell, someone will help me out"...

Asking for the binaries and asking for support are two different things. A few people excluded, it appears that the majority of "support" here is "USE THE SEARCH". To me that's not support, that's the same as talking just to hear yourself talk. If you have nothing constructive to say (sorry..."use search" is not constructive), then just keep quiet. Those who just repeatedly type this "support" message are just adding to the junk posts. There are a few, such as yourself Sam, who actually do post help on a regular basis. That is appreciated.

I'm not a programmer, have no intention of being a programmer, don't want to be a programmer, and will never be a programmer. Not everyone has the time or inclination to do that. Do I want to run a server? Yes. Do I look for bugs on other servers? Yes. Do I have to? No. Do you think this game would be as far as it is now without feedback from other people aside from programmers? No. Let's not take a "Well I did it, so you should too" type of stance on this. You know as well as I do that not everyone is going to do well at the same things. I expect to do a lot of hand holding when I get my friends into playing EQ through EQEMu. It does noone any good to alienate others or to have them get frustrated and quit. I'm sure we'd all like to see more stable servers with more people playing on them. For that to happen, it needs to be easy to do.

I said it once and I'll say it again - Why does everyone need to reinvent the wheel? If you have a server working, why not share? If you don't want to share because of the work you've put into it, that's fine. Just say so. It's not the fact that I'm complaining about a lack of binaries...I'm complaining about the fact that there ARE binaries, but people treat it like the holy scriptures that Moses handed down. Can't give them to n00bs...that would be dangerous. As for arguing that they aren't stable yet. I've played on some 5.5 servers and there is some stability out there.
