VGOEmulator 0.2 Release
The 0.2 release brings you near perfect stability thanks to Lokked, with a few remaining hiccups we're still working on. Generally speaking, your world should not falter.
With the addition of zippyzee, you now have a Telon Exchange and Banking.
Faux has Abilities, Forms and other player-based features working nicely - there's even a simulated cast bar!
Ratief's work on Character Sheet shows us some stats on our newly created characters.
Volt is continuing to bring doors and vendors to life.
Blackstorm has implemented Bindstones and keeps our Linux compilations clean. Last but not least,
Xinux has added a ton of GM commands for us to play with (but don't try .announce or you might never log in again )
As for me, the usual... site admin, parsers and raw data. That's my life

The Future (VGO 0.3 and beyond)
As laid out in this post where the devs met to discuss 2015 planning, we're hoping the current VGO Dev staff has enough knowledge now of VGOEmulator itself, as well as Vanguard The Game, that we can start a more rapid development process to get more features implemented quicker.
The "low hanging fruit" will likely be done first, like Grouping, Guilds, finishing Items and Exchange stuff, interacting with NPCs and objects (doors) and of course starting actual Content Design (woot!)
The big ticket items will be Combat, Abilities, Crafting and Diplomacy. We'll likely spend the next 6 mos just getting the UIs functioning and displaying data, but to get them VG Live-like will probably take a lot longer. Your patience is appreciated during this next year of development.
Hopefully you will see releases 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5 this year which should end the Alpha stage of development (hoping). This is all dependent on the continued development presence however; meaning if all our devs go on vacation, then no you won't see rapid development But I am confident our current team really loves VGO and wants it to succeed.
I sound like a broken record, but I have to say "Thank you, and congrats" over and over to the VGOEmulator development team, the content designers and community who are tirelessly testing every update we provide, and to everyone who considers this project their salvation from Sunset. For a group of people who are not profession game developers, we're pretty much kicking ass!

Re: VGOEmulator 0.2 Release
Great! Thanks for the update! Just a quick question... What is the Source Code and Binaries downloads for and where do they go?

Re: VGOEmulator 0.2 Release
Those downloads _are_ the release packages. It's basically a snapshot in time of what Source Code revision we decided to call 0.2.
Binaries are the world and associated config files for running your own world.
Source is, well, the source code The snapshot. Anyone actually doing development work would probably just use Public SVN, or join the dev team and access our private sandbox.

Re: VGOEmulator 0.2 Release
I see, so this isn't something for just us mortals, not anything we need at the moment? Since I'm on the subject, does the game update automatically through the launcher once you guys decide to push an update?
Re: VGOEmulator 0.2 Release
Short answer is that VGOEmulator will never update the client you have since that is the property of SOE (Daybreak).
All the changes will be on the server side, so no updates will be pushed.
