lol... hmm.. lets see

otta all the costs, the TIME is the most important one (u really shouldn't ignore that) ...

lefty and i have to both pay for a high speed internet connection, which we end up NOT using @ all (and i do mean NOT using for ANYTHING) ... we can't download files, or play games online (last time i played a PC game was prob a year ago... these days, my ping would be WELL above 400 even in quake)

i have to pay for the domain, as well as a hosting fee for the shockwave movie (which drains about 8-12 GIGS per week) so, in the end, we end up switching providers every few months since NO ONE wants to have their bandwidth drained as much as we do

and thats just to maintain the game... now add the fact that it takes more hours than any of u can imagine to implement those "cool" features (and the fact that i have to give up sleep/life/sleep to get any of them done in less than a year) and u have u'rself a nice little game... that drains the pockets and bandwidth of everyoen who even comes close to being involved with it...

but.. thats how it is... i dont ask for sympathy or money... the only thing i'd like... is to see a bit less bitching.. :biggrin:
