Well you may not be aware but Eru and Echo tend to do work that is not seen by players. Vulcan quit for RL reasons but I do not think he made a goodbye post. This may explain some part of that problem.

Also I'm afraid RL does get in the way, if you're working 9 hours a day including most weekends, have to spend time with your girl and also have other boring things to do (bills, cleaning, shopping etc. etc.) then sometimes you have to say - at this point in my life there is no time for UO - not least of all because even I have other interests... watching Euro 2012, playing tennis, seeing my friends etc.
Sorry if you have a life that means UO is more important, but you shouldn't sacrifice things that are important for UO, UO is there for when you have time for it, that's all it is. Remember, players are players, and staff are also players, they are just volunteers, staffing is not a job and you can't expect people to treat it with that sort of importance, sorry.

Do they love UO? is this spark still on?

If staff are inactive then ok, you may not be able to buy a static for a while (but most servers do not offer this service anyway) and there may not be any big events (but we have auto tournies and DMs, and premade quests, HK events etc...) but UO is full of things to do, if people have totally attached their fun to the staff then that is an unfair expectation...
