We have two C# developers (well, three including me), so we can try to implement missing functionality, but we need to know what to do and where.

We are now more concerned with server side, since upgrading server/ migrating data is more difficult that replacing the viewer in use. That said, we are interested in extending new viewer functionality too. >teleporting from a server to >another doesn't seem that bad often We have several ideas for our project that will require having large contigous spaces. Besides, we were not able to setup Hypergrid mode with 0.5 server also.

Yes, we have already tried such thing. However, in this mode there is no way to modify avatar appearance, and this feature is essential for our project.

We will be glad if you could explain us how to implement even "improper" solution, as we have to be sure that this problem would not stop our project.
