Things have appeared to be relatively quiet on the Realm Wars front, but things are happening.
First, I am working to produce a more comprehensive set of documentation. The things that were open questions will now be closed, and the documentation will include design, art, programming and sound information. Things like how do I get my model into RW, polycounts, sound formats, etc etc.
Second, we are working on the base systems of Realm Wars like Melee Combat and Magic. It is much easier for someone to create a new spell if they have working examples to go by, rather than asking a community member to actually program the entire spell system.
We are also working on ways to standardize and simplify the art creation process.
There has been less chatter on the forum but part of that is because the leads are working on implementation.
CVS is now open and should be udpated fairly frequently. Checking every week or so is probably a good idea.

Yay. I'd like something new to look at. I'm looking forward even moreso to reaching a finalization on some things (hopefully on the backstory too, which nobody has said a word about since your last e-mail, James.)
