You are assuming a lot here. Plus paying that many GMs is not viable. And second, people that are payed do not have that strong incentive to make good RP, passion is much stronger one.  I am sure volunteers will make more exciting events than a payed crew! (As I have seen it in EVE online.) And "spilling" for plots is something that even payed GMs cannot guarantee.

That's assuming a paid crew would have no passion tongue.
There's also the matter of a sort of guarantee of minimum level of skill and quality, passion cannot guarantee that (as *I* have seen in other games where players run the RP tongue). I'd rather not see 'events' at all (too artificial), but more like it was in Seed: you just RP and so do the GMs, and some of the time you don't even know if a character is a GM or dev or not.

If GMs come from the community... this one? Not many of us would have the time and not all would want to. From a broader community who flock to the game after it becomes open source?

As for the game its self, art as with a few other things is a key factor, its what made the game what it was but alas IF the game was begged, borrowed or stolen and available to play you would play it. If a few people want to, have the passion and drive to make something of Seed if it can be got, why is it the majority give the feeling ‘Oh it wont be as good without the dev team, I would rather jus post about here and remember the beta days.’

One huge assumption there. No. I wouldn't necessarily play it just because it becomes available again.
And second: because Seed isn't our life, it was a game we liked (a lot). Why would I jump at the chance at playing a game that I am likely to not like? And it's not like anyone here said no to all of this, but we can at least take a hesitant stance and decide after we see it if it's something we'd still want to play.

And more huge assumptions that this community is only a Seed memorial, that that is all we do or post about.

I'd rather ask why is it that people come in here expecting everyone to be ravenously enthusiastic and near-desperate for Seed to come back?

I mean even if the game in its last seen beta state was ours and available to play, even if nothing new was added wouldn’t that be good, a 3d chat room if you will for RP, more or less what it was, running on someones home server that can just about cope with 20 people… hell I’d be there lagging about. The game was laggy as hell anyhow as I remember it.

No no no no no. I know what that is like, ever heard of URU? 'Until URU' was completely uninteresting for RP.

It would be nice if some company was no longer sitting on the rights (actually what I'm really interested in is a return of Seed as it was, or something close to that: non-static world for RPers). However (not to be insulting), I won't exactly be bouncing up and down on the edge of my seat waiting for this.

URU had something like this happen (and had many more fans left over), and all that came of it was Until URU, which I found completely uninteresting.

I'd probably not be interested in a lot of things fans would make of Seed.
If we could host a server, the Tower would be unchanging. If it's not unchanging, do I want to see the changes? What other people besides us would make of the game, I'm not sure I want to see.

Most of us don't have much time to spend on the game now if it were to happen. I can imagine it might end up like our NWN project...

A lot of things are ifs and would be nice's. Let's see what happens. Nothing might happen at all...

I would really like to play the Sunday after next then, though, because on the Monday after that I have my surgery and I might not be able to play the Sunday following that, or even the one after that. I'll know more after the actual surgery.

As a development of circumstances, I will not be able to guarantee anonymity of any who come to me on this matter in the following two weeks. In fact, I can guarantee that it will not be anonymous at all even if we go to a private place. I will be under surveillance.
After the two weeks are over, the people's decision will make it clear if I will be able to continue this project after these two weeks and if so, how. I will post more info then.

I would still like to ask people to come to me about these dreams during these two weeks, and will hope they do not fear ridicule too much and brave having their name be known.

I could do today or Saturday, but really, even though I could technically play the hours I previously stated on a weekday night, I really also can't... or shouldn't.

I could play from 19:00 to 22:00 only on a Monday, but really, I'd have been at work all day and nothing much would come out of me. I'd also rather not do that since I'd have to work again on Tuesday and I need my Monday evening to be free for essential downtime.
