EoM won't be able to provide that fully-realized RPG world. We want to have RPG
elements in there but it's mainly an action oriented fun game. So think of the
RPG element more in terms of Diablo than Baldur's Gate.

I've uploaded it to http://eom.sf.net/incoming/eom.tar.gz
Please NOTE that this is my current development version here! There is some
code in there that isn't commited to cvs yet. Also note that EoM is not yet
playable! Simple rule: Don't expect anything from it. Assume it does nothing
and be surprised if it actually does something. But don't wonder if it doesn't :)
Simple start would be: "python serve.py & ; python client.py" (You must have a
server running to "play")

If you need anymore help getting it to work let me know. If you find any
bugs/crashes in that tarball version you can let me know too.. I'm pretty
sure that there will be crashes. Afterall this is an early development piece
of work.
