Default Re: lab vault upgraded?

Wow this sounds like familiar (and scarey) territory. Ive admined MUDs for decades and continually had to post reminders such as...

we arent getting paid
we have other responsibilitys
this is our game
we work first on things we like
asking nice and appreciation has been known to upgrade things into things we like

The scary part is that Ive seen disparaging comments cause MUDs to lose their best admins and programmers where all we got was one post saying "this isnt worth it, goodbye"

I dont get the impression that the crowd at Illwinter got rich from Dom 1. And the pricing structure on Dom 2 might make it seem like things have moved out of the please & thank you territory but remember that they havent seen that money yet either.
