I would say the recent happenings and the post sums up what I and some other EB members feel:

Is it worth it?

I for one, will probably leave after EB1 is out. All I want is to make a version of RTW I would love to play, but when you see people who obviously are more intent on trolling with us OR who seems to be more interested in finding faults with our mod than actually wanting to help us out with historical accuracy OR don't like how we show their "forefathers" as something else than noble, righteous & holier than thou supermen who never did anything wrong, then I wonder why put all my free-time into this.

I fucking failed an exam last semester because I was up 30+ hours straight getting a installer made for v0.8 and then uploading it to various mirrors and servers and updating the website and then making sure it was posted on forums. It was entirely my own fault, but there are probably other episodes of "sacrifice" within the team that are not out. I know one guy quit EB because his girlfriend said "her or them!".
