Well, there are four zones of mine that are available...if we can agree on a file format I can get an exporter in OpenZone post-haste and release it. I've been redesigning OpenZone's engine since August and it's come along nicely. I have to admit I'm still against the idea of converting existing SOE zones...how many zones do you think you'd need for rigorous testing? I'd like to see if an effort can be made to satisfy your requirements before taking that step. Khan, how are your zones coming along? Can any be released? Is anyone else working on zones?

See, this is really what the community needs more of; people working together to reach a common goal
I'll start a thread in the OpenEQ dev forum immediatly and hopefully we can hammer out an initial file format today. As long as the atom headers don't change, it's 100% backwards and forwards compatible, so that's not a big issue.
If you can get me 4 or 5 decent sized zones, I should have no problem doing some nice testing and all with it.
As always, it's a pleasure working with you WC
