When its release, will we be able do download the server so we can run it at home? I have a 2nd PC that can run as the server and my main PC the runs the client. Would like run it so the kids and I can play locally.

Right now the functionality is VERY basic. You can login, zone, spawn stuff, summon some items, and the perform the very basics of combat. But other than that, you cant really play right now. This public release is going to be mainly for developers that hopeful have time to contribute code, but also for people that just want to tinker around. Unfortunately, it wont be ready for people to actually play as it was intended for at least a few more months but probably quite a bit longer than that. Eventually, I hope that people will assist in implementing all the features in the game, but right now Cadimiom and I are the only developers and we just dont have the time to get everything working even though I wish I did.

worry not LE, when i create the time machine i'll come back and give you infinite time!
Until you die, i guess... then i'll just go back in time and get the past you to help!

Hopefully when the first public is released and the new source tree available, all the developers in our growing community will come out of the woodwork and devote time and energy to the project. I know I'm anxious to start on it, anyways
