This is well put, and worth the reading.

That being said…as a long time member of the LU community, under one nickname or another…every project, every reboot, every everything, has always been “just around the corner.”. DLU certainly seems to be farther ahead than most of them, but until we see an actual gameplay video, I can see why people would be more interested in making servers than in waiting. “A bird in the hand,” etc.
