It takes a long time to make games, thus I should not care or be optamistic about this project in all it\'s significance... Interesting logic.

I would just like to start off by saying that this is the most ambitious and noble open source project I have ever seen. Trying to create a QUALITY open source MMORPG (something better than Runescape *shiver*) is by far one of the most selfless endeavours I have ever seen in the gaming world. The fact that you plan on keeping it free throughout it\'s life is even more remarkable, and a little bewildering as well to say the least.
What REALLY excites me about this game though is how gorgeous it looks, and it\'s an open source TECH ALPHA! You should have seen my jaw drop (quite literally) when I looked at the screenshots section expecting to see low quality sprites and such that is usually the standard for open source graphical online RPGs.
As I discovered more about the game, It just kept getting better and better. Tradeskills to be implemented, very unique races, no solidly defined \'classes\'. It looks to me the devs are trying to put a whole new spin on the medieval MMORPG type genre by going in a whole different direction than EQ and DAOC, by not sticking with the overused settings with Humans, Trolls, Wood Elves, and Gnomes. I also must say bravo on creating the most diversified gathering of difficultly pronounced names in any RPG I\'ve ever seen- Yliakum, Ynnwns<-(No vowels!), Xacha, Ekindukai? Now THAT\'s originality.
You\'ve gotta be doing something right when I\'ve never even played the game yet (and I probably won\'t for a very very long time) and it\'s got me more interested than the pre-release days of Diablo II <-(I literally RAN to the computer gaming section of my local Wal-Mart to get D2 on launch day, and then RAN to the checkout as I hopped and skipped my way through the parking lot)
I really wish I could try the game out right now or even in the next few versions, but unfortunately I can\'t. Due to the limitations of my MARVELOUSLY UBER GAMING PC that I am using currently ( It\'s a WICKED 398 MHZ celeron with 64 MB of RAM and a gnarly Voodoo 2 running on the ever-popular Win95). Even though I am apparently not missing out on much except exploring the towns and having foot races right now, I would just like to close by saying best of luck in your project, and I hope it makes it to be the grand-daddy of a whole new era of open source gaming.
