Not to mention that there are us outside of the company who contribute to Ryzom ( making tools and whatnot ), even if it's not very obvious for the players. FaaWinch Gate has programmers. I know 2-3 of them ( 2 I know for sure to be Winch Gate employees, the 3rd I am not so sure ).I would be happier to pay a little more if they hired a real programmer (you know the kind of guy who actually codes in C/C++ etc), or at least payed for some advertising, more than all fantasies with web development, events, marauders, and other fluff.
