Also, please keep in mind that the game will continue to be free even after gold (but will have premium content as well) and the Linux version will continue to exist.

And whenever we are on features at the time of launch (we might be missing a thing or two), it will be the beginning, not the end...

The features you mention lead me to a thing that crossed my mind quite a few times and that could give Regnum another edge over the competition. You have attracted me (and a lot of others, there is a huge thread about it on the forums as well) to Regnum at first because of the native linux client. The linux community is known for the spirit of working together on projects and lending time and energy to become a part of them.
You should IMO use the people you have attracted to help with features of the game, be it with translation (there is a thread about this here, too) or for
example with modeling contests, something where you say: Use these tools, these are the design parameters, create monsters/effects/good looking textures/whatever, there are loads of tasks that could be given to people that would lend the developers time to focus on the basic game engine stuff. I for one would be delighted to have a part in the game,
lend my time and energy for a cause like this.
I do of course not know the legal ramifications, but would not have a problem with restrictive licensing if necessary, or giving up copyright of designed stuff to ngd. I think others would not mind, either. Use the community, Luke
