Cherish threw a fit because he wanted credits for 4 lines of code, not to mention he was continuously derailing discussions offtopic because he was going into opinionated tangents about random things. The credits thing was the worst fit ive seen him throw and im not surprised he got booted from the discord for that.
L2JServer has certain criteria about giving credits which you can read here: https://www.l2jserver.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=30453&p=182222#p182580
Based on these rules did he deserve credits other than in the commit comment? That's for each one of you to decide.
Also theres no randoms taking over L2JServer, if anything the new team members have brought the pack back to life. Theres a lot of cool shit coming like complete High Five Skills with proper handlers and a targeting rework that both will address a lot of issues.
Generally i see a lot of ego from people involved in the l2j scene, this needs to stop unless you like to be paying hundreds of dollars or euros for subpar work.
