and why pservers take just one week or month to change something?
If you could answer me that that would be great.

I can answer that for you.
Pservers are not nearly as careful or thorough with their internal testing as a corporation. In fact often pservers would drop change into the server because they really don't have a real testing environment that has more than the guys developing actually testing their own stuff, That's never a good idea - speaking as a retired software developer and pserver developer, we wear blinders. We only test the scenarios we know about and have coded for. We don't always consider other possible side effects and scenarios (we call them "use cases") that come out of our changes. Pservers just don't have the resources (testing staff), patience (players are often beating the crap out of the devs to get their patches out RIGHT NOW!!) or the motivation to do as much (or more) testing on their work as it took to make the change itself. Sometimes a very small change can have very profound consequences.
Corporations on the other hand have far more staff available to test their changes. And like I said, those changes MUST be thoroughly tested because it takes a lot to promote changes from a test into a production environment. Also consider that core changes for irohan have to come from Korea (where PW is located) - the development team is there, not in California (where PWi is located).
A pserver does not have a corporate overhead and a reporting structure. A pserver is put together by a few guys and tossed out there to see how players like it. They have no structure or scheduling whatsoever.
True, but you gotta admit they are slow as fk with these patches...I can answer that for you.

I mean they are a big team so why would it take like 6 months or more for 1 patch for only 2 races??
