Hi Dan
It's great to see that this project is still well on the way to becoming live and running at full speed!
Unfortunately I haven't been around and able to play games for a long time due to work commitment as I now run my own software company.
Currently I am working my way around coding in Delphi and understanding the syntax change that comes with moving from being a C# developer, which means that outside of work and this new personal development project, I do have the time to spare to test and report my findings maybe 2 hours a day, and more hours on weekends, if you still need testers. My first Delphi project (related to gaming) will be a Conquer source code based on Delphi, and the first of its kind, this will take a long time but it should be an interesting one...
Any way back to my point, I would strongly suggest that you get the ball moving on a CO private server as perhaps you will start to lose interest with many players who have been following you and the progress you have been making. Although you don't get to make all the changes that you wanted to do in the first instance, perhaps it is still enough to keep everybody happy. I'd be interested to see where you currently stand with regards to your current status on the CO project.
Could you PM me to have a discussion?
Regards
Dave
