Yeah, changelogs crazy hard, derp... and it's not like you have to make one as you work to avoid ending up with a clusterf-

... oh, nevermind.

JovankaB:
Developers have commit logs but it's not suitable as player-readable changelog. Especially if project is closed source, which for some weird reason most FOnline dev teams prefer (I guess in many cases because of ugly as fuck code, any other reason I could see would be some weird "server will be mine" mentality - which so far ends up with "all servers are shittier than they could be" and enforces people to re-implemnent simple things that other teams did already). John Carmack can give away source to his 3D hits, but some amateurish indie groups that will never earn any real money on copyright-breaking MMOs can't -.-

Wait, so you're saying that you're not making a wiki-like documentation as you go? Oh my god, that actually explains a lot. Also, I'm surprised that you're surprised about sharing code and other stuff given that it was the 2238 team that started with the "gtfo we're not sharing anything" approach. I'm pretty sure if you went open source other teams would have more incentive to cooperate with you... but then again I guess it's way past the point where it could've mattered because most people probably already remade the stuff they could need from 2238 themselves.
