We could run it as a community. Id be willing to kill some hill giants and efreeti to contribute too.
Ha! And what would you do with it then? If you think for one second that the entire "community" that you call it would agree on a single direction, you are deluding yourself. Believe it or not, the devs are trying to give us what we want, based on what they have the time and money to do. The changes you might make, would likely cause 3/4 of the remaining community to quit.
With krono: no. With real money: yes. There isn't enough krono even if you pooled it all. I doubt that more than a million krono have ever existed in total. But there are some irl rich people that play EQ.
