It's a slippery slope when you're talking about a private server like this. It's hard to manage and it costs a lot to keep supported. Resources for those things have to come from somewhere. When it's just random fans/people looking for an opportunity who are behind projects like this, you're obviously going to face the issue of people immorally abusing certain privileges to either generate cash that is vital for the continuation of the project, or is merely a grab for money when the opportunity presents itself.

I don't know what the Elysium plan was when the project first started, but it seems to me like most/all private servers face the same issue of the people behind the project not fully concepting out a plan to make sure the server has the resources necessary to run stably. What the project needs (if it didn't already try to have one) is a plan to generate legal/non-Blizzard threatening ways of income for the server and for compensating (somehow) the people who put work into the server.

It's unfortunate, but if people aren't making any money for putting in work on something like this, they're going to be more likely to become untrustworthy and weasel ways to skim money from the server or make it by selling generate in-game things. I mean ideally you'd have an entire staff of people who are fine just working on a passion project, but hoping for a perfect world scenario isn't a very legitimate practice.

The second side of the problem is staff transparency. People need to know who's on the staff, what they do and who they are. Anonymity only makes people feel more secure in their positions and enables them to gamble on things like selling gold/characters on the down-low. If the players know who's running things and knows who to hold accountable, then there's at least a lot more focused scrutiny bearing down on the actions of staff members and project leaders.

Anyways, this is just assuming the Elysium staff was ill-organized and lacked planning. I don't know the full story or if these breaches of conduct were made purely by a couple of ill-willed project runners. I just hope that a continuation project can break free of whatever petty drama may be gripping the staff behind the scenes and that it can go on into the future more stable and concise.

Nostalrius didn't make money out of this. Light's Hope will not be making money out of this.
