CCP was and is crippled by the legacy code in the game... and they chose to not try to fix it all at once(which to be fair would have required major refactoring and cost) but to try to evolve the code over time. I think if they'd just spent the time on a major rework the game would still be growing today. On the server side, the design is still better than any other I've seen, it's too bad they were so handicapped making it even better.
