We've realised that myself and Finito are always very busy and have very little time in our schedules to make something radically new. However, we will be launching a server on the 31st of August 2013 for you all to play. This server will be an improved esoma database with some additions and fixes.
There are a few things to do before then but it should give you guys something to look forward to.
Finally: What do you feel is necessary to be added before launch?
