Just updated the OP.
We're currently looking for people to test content as it's created, to come up with quest ideas, for someone to create simple doodad models, for someone to create more complex building models, and for someone who can create skins for things such as flags.
Work on the server has sped up with the help of a dedicated group of people helping it along. The first zone should hopefully be playable or nearly playable sometime within the next two months if we get a lot more quest ideas rolling in.
Work on the next three zones is starting as well, but only at the most basic level with interior designing and NPC creation.
