No, zone never needed any server help (even though snk and Xor did help Zone atleast once [snk often helped, think Xor did only once] and even MD -Delterias manager back then- helped, even though all of his 'help" was stolen codes). All Zone was lacking was organization and a straight set up management, and coders from time to time.

However, I do highly support Graal servers helping eachother, not just caring for their own sakes. A global team made out of X people would be cool, who only stay temp. staff on any server to finish atleast one project per server monthly (considering how huge the project is, and how much time it consumes/people have). Sadly, Graals management isn't that open-minded.
Personally, I once tried to get such a team done back when I had the Esteria server as my personal playground.. I'd be down for it if I wasn't banned for account thief for no apparent reason lol.
