nope, X is top of the list on top for me.

To carry on this discussion, what is the first thing on top for you? (top itself doesn't count)

Well X ofcourse is my top priority too.
However I would like a textclient like nethack/adom in addition for all us command line junkies.
It would also probably get more people into CF and server admins could bind the textclient to a port and get telnet junkies playing on the servers (this is a huge market... maby because the RPGers don't have to download anything... concequently some website based RPGs are also massive).

A nice textclient (think adom (which is nethack style but better)) would allow a server admin to have players telnet to his server (if he bound the client to a port) if that is what players wished to do... and believe me alot of players like telnet alot.

Also command line junkies like me would love a text client.
If one char per tile it too limiting we could make 3x3 or 4x4 ANSI tiles... I would help with that because I've been doing ASCII art for some while (look at gpcslots2 and RPG1 at https://cat2.dynu.ca/cat2/programs.html ).
