Currently in my last year (applied computer science). While I do still read and post on these forums, I do not actively play or script anymore. There are just too many other projects and duties to keep up with.
Upholding a server at this time is impractical. I have come to know from experience that players demand timely updates. You need to be throwing them a bone every so often to keep them satisfied while you work on the next big thing.
I spent 10 minutes attempting to write a text here about what happens if you fail to do that. I don't know how to properly phrase it, but it all hinges on the fact that the "mood" of the playerbase correlates with the mood of the scripter. Happy playerbase = motivated scripter, angry playerbase = demotivated scripter.
