There are definitely concerns... but when we are talking about programming, there is a also a definite "time warp" affect. It takes days to correctly program something that executes in milliseconds. Scale that up and you have a monstrous amount of code that needs to be gone through, modified, and chased down... even before you try and correct any effects from your changes.

There is legitimate criticism... and then there is anger. Which is really no way to express criticism anyone is willing to listen to <although - me thinks I've been trapped as the opposing voice in this one>.
You've mentioned that you've been away... for a few months. Obviously, you expect everything to be the way you want it...when you want it. Heaven forbid, it takes a little longer then "you" expect... with the resultant angry rhetoric streaming from on high into the social consciousness of these forums.

You mention that, to paraphrase, there is no "fun" to be had anywhere in the game/galaxy/simulation... what have you.. because... to paraphrase again... "Things Got Bugs".
Since you are by no means.. the only "founder"... I would not hesitate to surmise that "many" (if not most of them) still playing have the exact opposite experience from yours.

I mentioned earlier that "Fun" is where you find it... even in a buggy, buggy driving across digital looking terrain before falling through a hole in the planet!
As a founder, you signed up to a development program. If you look back at what began as an idea... and developed into a galaxy... one would think there is enough progress to at least gain some small smidgeon of respect for all the hard work put in by the devs. Perhaps, that would also give you an appreciation for just how much is left to do.

It is when we forget where it all started and begin to think like this is something "owed" to us NOW... that we stop legitimate criticisms and turn to anger as a means of expression.

Try to have a better day tomorrow
