Hey folks. As you may have seen in my signature, I've been involved in this for some time. The information is pretty well summed up in the copy-pasta advertisement below. Why don't you take a look? We're looking for developers.

Feedback:
We're open to feedback on any level, and yes, we do realize that creating MMOs is no small task, and we're in it for this particular challenge and for all the learning opportunities this project presents.

I guess... good luck, but without anything to play, this looks like little more than a big design document and a pile of nice concept art. I know that's pretty much unavoidable when designing something as preposterously enormous as an MMOG, but it's still vaporware. Indie projects seem to fade away unless there is something to fiddle with and get new people interested.

Oh, it's hardly at release. But there is a trac hiding out there that's busy like a beehive with work on the game.

Checked this out a long time ago.
Can't wait for a playtest.

Looks really ambitious. I'd love to play it when it comes out.

Sounds cool and fun. Always up for something cool and fun. Although I still haven't gotten a chance to program much, due to outside interference with my loosely planned schedual... Even then I doubt I'd get good enough to jump onto this any time soon.
