Scripts:
You have to remember unlike before, most of us have now uploaded full script packs. If you really wanted a lot more content and base files then that could be done by asking someone to download the script packs and then upload the individual files.

The limited people that do post on the forums for help / looking for scripts -- as rattlehead stated -- are often responded to within the day. I think that despite being a small community it is fast to act.

Languages:
Again I think rattlehead hit the bullet on the head here. Sphere scripting is easy to learn and master and in a lot of cases is a gateway language. Within sphere it can push towards sql, and html and if you really are interested after that you should be inspired to learn more languages. Yes the other emulators use C#, a real practical language however its not as noob friendly

Installation:
Despite being an easy fix I've always wondered why the sphere files are all separate as a download. For example you have to download the sphere.exe / base files. Then you have to download a base script pack. THEN you have to make sub folders (accounts, save, logs etc) and THEN you have to add the specific write files in. AS is said this is very easy to combat but it is such an annoyance. I would have thought the pre-releases should contain all these packaged together.

** also the libMySQL.dll

Future:
I think what needs to happen is the release of a proper sphere server to show everyone that; the emulator is not dead, it is capable of equal to greater capacity over runuo. Too many shards out there that I have seen don't prioritise a level of professionalism. For example, the biggest shards out there, Second Age, UO forever and in the near future IPY3. What can we do? utilise the uniqueness of the actual sphere mage system, LOS pvp none of this pre-casting. Get some sponsorship for the servers, utilise the sphere brand and name, a FLAGSHIP sphere shard... Wouldn't that be good? If i remember correctly Mr. Sugarcube used his lothlarian shard to test the latest sphere additions and builds... Anyway... my 2 cents
