How the IT community of players developed the MMO ecosystem

There are quite a few games that the community regularly maintains with mods. For my dearly beloved Fallout: New Vegas, modifications are also released six years after the end of support. For some other games (hello EVE!), People run google signs, and for others they just write detailed guides or draw small diagrams.

I'll tell you about the game for which the community does all of the above and even more, about Elite: Dangerous.
