Exile, regarding your statement about people making absurd changes, that ruin the game/game balance. I believe, if the game does go open source, it would have to be really done in a way that wouldn't brake the game. Whether that means developers sending patches to be approved off and merged, or some other system of development for our game.

I am sure the current wizards and R have an idea of what direction Wyvern should take. I can only hope that it goes in a direction that will benefit all of us, whether its open source or closed...
break, not brake.

Also, what "current wizards"? Valkon? Tesh and Arilou said they aren't going to be involved anymore...correct me if i am wrong, but the game has been down for over a year, which hasn't been known to keep developers committed to the game.

Your arguments are based off of pure opinion. It's obvious that he is not open sourcing Wyvern, simply based on his plans to host it on Amazon's cloud service and his own dialogue that he does not wish to do so.

However I have faith in the games system of testing those devs both in terms of dedication and loyalty to the game and being capable of developing from know how stand point and ability to make unique content. Anyway in the end I still think that open source won't work for this game. I will gladly except that I am wrong if it ever happens and turns out to be alright but for now I will continue to think its a bad idea and hope that it stays in the capable hands of the wizards personally approved by R. Anyway don't take it personal Harbinger but that is my strong opinion on open sourcing.
No, you are right. Open sourcing something has its merits and its downfalls. Really, I am more worried about how involved the wizards themselves are going to be involved, if they are at all. Which, I hope they do!

I think at this point, we all want our server back and up. That is one of the biggest problems, but so far the new server is looking pretty neat.
