BUGGA BUGGA OGGA BASH IN THE EYE I MAKE YOU CRY BOGGA OGGA OGHA BASH BASH BASH
INX didn't go down, we took it down, hence no downfall. We had at most around 280 clients, if not more. I think that you will have a hard time competing with that, no matter how long your server stays up.
But yeah, you are right. It did take a long time to code, and it currently is down, but the quality of the server will for ever exceed any old sphere version, even if that isn't anything to be proud of. But I guess that what you are trying to tell me is that INX isn't a rip of, had a lot of new thinking and that it was hard to achieve due to the community blend and balancing?
In other words, that it wasn't just a project where I changed 3 values, added EV wands, and waited for the server to crash and die, but built to last in the long run?
Now if I hadn't moved to another country, moved within that country, started school so abruptly and traveled 5 hours every day to get there and home, I'm quite sure that INX would have kept growing and improving. With me gone, the lack of developers became more evident, as I was probably pulling the work load of 4 developers and 2 admins.
Still, I managed to leave a good hierarchy and settlement where taran could at least run the show, and keep the server up, and he did so successfully. He just couldn't fight the need for the developers and the load became to much.
But my experience with UO has given me new and true friends, business connections, a vast amount of knowledge in regards to running a server/game, organizing staff members and working with object oriented programming. INX is something I'm proud of, INX is something that I actually have on my job application. That, with the other things on my CV, actually keeps getting me job offers within the industry, while I'm still in school and got 4 more years to go (normally they only apply for students with 1 year to go). I'm working on a game with the brain behind the first RunXUO and we are very successful.
So this leads me to ask, what has UO given you, besides a retard stamp? Have you ever progressed, or are you always aiming for regression(this is obviously kind of ironical, but I doubt you'll understand)?
But as they say, only way to beat an idiot, is to get down on their level.

I can switch in and out of idiot mode, you can't
