How Long? I was in your boots once while waiting for update to 0.3.009 and i believe it took a very long time from a players viewpoint. But I did prepare by reading all the Mac messages and various other themes.
You say, you did software development. Maybe you could try starting up and developing an update yourself?
Also the players handbook is rather outdated and sometimes misleading. Predefined paths are almost useless. I posted info on predefined paths in the Newbie section and in comparing all the 6 paths listed for Enkidukai (which I play) I discovered that for The race, Enkidukai, a male, basic is Str 55, Agil 85, End 50, Int 40, will 70, char 50 and for each of the defined paths that is what you also get. Each of the paths get 5-6 skills which can be trained higher.
However if you customize your character, you can start with upwards of 30-40 skill points. Also you should use all your character points to develop your character but do not go to a minus level which will cause the game to reject your character. Also skill points in areas that have not been implemented are nice to look at but I doubt if they are of much value.
Also since ChaOs will probably look at this, I think ChaOs should have an assistant to post the message to newbies that trying to get on just does not work until an Updater is created and he and Dfryer should spend what time they have in developing the Update and not have to worry about dealing with messages?
