I would be very happy if you could make your translation mod into Russian, your mod without this popular I'll do a translation for the Russian servers who want to put your mod, though it was far from perfect, and I do not think you respond so quickly to my post and I still have to ask you a question, you have an official server for your mod?
No, there isn't currently an official server for the mod (though there are some very good ones hosted by Lukeycraft and Aegis I believe, I highly recommend them.)
Awesome, just send it my way whenever you're done!
I have a suggestion to add. I think if you found out a way to have individual characters in their own worlds, you know, what we have now, and add a box to put in a name for that one player. Like World of Warcraft or something. Bob on one world, Joe on another. I would be amazed.
Eh, well that might conflict with the long-term goal of having characters completely independent of worlds and stored online, hehe.
Frizzil, I'm an experienced Minecraft modder. I was laying out a mod similar to yours, and incidentally I stumbled upon yours. Rather than competing with you, I'd really like to contribute to H/M. I think you've got a wonderful mod and I'd like to help it become *the* RPG mod.
Looks like you could use some help with getting it updated and bugsquashed. I could handle both these tasks for you, if you'd like.
Mind if I help?
[Edit] I should mention I have some time I could dedicate every day.
Spitfire just interviewed me about the current status of Hack/Mine! We talk about the progress of the update, approximately when it will be released, Spellscript, the Area system, and more!

Greetings, Frizzil. I have been somewhat of a fan of this mod for a good while, and with recent confirmations that the mod is going to be worked on again, I would just like to share my very long-winded constructive criticism, and what I feel should be added to the mod.
1. The Class/Skill/Stat/Whatever system:
Currently, this system really does need some fine-tuning. The Race/Class selection is fine, but what needs improvement right now is the skills and stats themselves. Skills, I believe, should not all be unlocked at once, as they are now. Rather, most of the skills the player begins with (with a few exceptions) should be in the spell book GUI, as "Discovered" skills. At every level, including level one, the player gets a single "Skill Point", or whatever you wish to call it. Skill points would be used to 1.) unlock skills discovered in spell books, a feature I believe you are planning, and 2.) to upgrade unlocked skills. From there, other skills would be found in spell books. Skills, upon being initially unlocked, would be somewhat weak, and upgrades of those skills will make them more powerful. However, there can be exceptions to these, more simplistic skills such as leap, which only have one tier. I also think it would be neat if certain skills require the player to have a certain level of a stat. For example, the skill "Generic Bolt" could require level 15 Intelligence, and level 23 Wisdom.
As for stats, I believe they should be tinkered with a little. In my opinion, every stat should have its own advantage to every class. Strength could increase general attack power a little, but still primarily increase melee damage, and could allow the use of heavier armors. Dexterity needs some of its perks taken off and moved to Agility or something, because it is quite clearly over-powered. Like before, it should increase Ranged damage, and critical hit chance. In replacement of attack speed and defense, it could also make ranged attacks more accurate, giving a reason for mages to use it. Agility should increase attack speed, movement speed, and even a chance of dodging an attack, but these would be relatively subtle per level, to make things balanced. Intelligence, if it does not already, should noticeably increase elemental damage, in addition to its current perks. This gives other classes than the mage a reason to use it. Wisdom and Fortitude are fine as-is, though it may not be a bad idea to add defense gain to Fortitude instead of Dexterity, however the warrior's skills should be more mana-taxing, so that he needs to upgrade his Wisdom before he can incessantly spam spells. The goal of this would be to make it that, though classes are more encouraged to go towards certain stats, they would also have some reason to go towards others, based on their play style.
Therefore, this overhaul of skills and stats (It's not as big as it looks, trust me), would add much more class customization to the mod. I was going to add more "Changes" to propose but, looking back at this post, it is long-winded enough. I'll get to those later. I wish you the best of luck with this mod, you have made a great one.

I appreciate the constructive criticism, it's hard to get enough lately, actually.
Spell progression is definitely planned, so no worries. The existing system is just a shadow of things to come (if you're interested, I'd do a search on this thread for "spell books", there was a lot of interesting discussion regarding the future of spells.)

(Translation paraphrased)
Even though I am writing in Russian, maybe someone will understand me. [Megacomet's post] is a very good description of what I'm waiting for in the future. This time, I'm just too lazy to translate these things, so please excuse me.
Lazy bones!
Is this something people bring up frequently on servers? I do want to give the people what they want
Greetings, yet again. I'm glad to see that people actually like my opinions, allow me to celebrate by giving more:
2. Health Regeneration
One minor inconvenience I have found while playing this mod is that on several occasions I would find myself on low life after just managing to clear a dungeon room, and then have to wait several minutes before it regenerates. This is simply because there is no readily accessible way to make your health regenerate faster. This would be a pretty simple fix,
1. Make Health and Regeneration potions available in shops.
2. Make food heal a small portion of your health.
This would essentially allow players to regain health between fights, reducing the waiting time. Not only would it do that, but it would give food a use, and would give players more reason to trade in shops, thus making money more useful. So long that the new regeneration methods aren't too powerful or cheap, as the purpose is to reduce obnoxious waiting times, or help out in a tight situation. This should not allow a player to, at level 10, run gung-ho into a level 20 dungeon, consume his endless supply of potions, and walk out alive.
3. Weapons
Currently, the weapon variety seems to be a little bit disorganized. As for melee weapons, they are good enough so far, as I fear adding new mechanics to melee weapons for the sake of variety just might make them unnecessarily complex or overpowered. However, combat with melee weapons is still a wee bit "Flail stick in air until something dies". The inclusion of a proper, but not too complex, dodging or blocking system may mix things up a bit. In addition, which I have stated before, warriors rarely seem to run out of mana, even when using their spells repeatedly. I would recommend that warrior spells are made more taxing on mana, just to balance things out.
As for bows, I believe there should be a bit of tweaking here and there. I do see that there are short bows and long bows, but there still seems to be a bit of linearity (though I may very well be wrong, as I have not played this class all too much.) This can be fixed by, first of all, widening the gap between the two weapons. The point of this would be so that a player could use all bow types viably, but differently. I believe that long bows should have a slow fire rate, but have the longest range, and do more damage. The short bow would have the highest fire rate, but not shoot as far (as they already do), and not do as much damage. Also, I propose the addition of a third ranged weapon, the crossbow, which like the others would fire arrows. This would have the slowest fire rate, and have poor range, but do the most damage.
Finally, there are the mage's wands. I can tell that there are features planned to give this weapon more variety, with its different elements, but quite obviously they have not been implemented yet. The way I see it, one could go about two viable ways of doing this. The first way would be in which all the current elemental attacks are kept, each having a single, unique mechanic, as well as perhaps having elemental advantages over certain enemies or in certain biomes (a feature I can tell is already planned.) So, for example, the wand with "Generic Fire Attack", would have a minor area of effect, and be more powerful against Roflcondas. While, the wand with "Generic Bolt With Some Poison Attack" could do damage over time, and be more powerful in jungle biomes. However, if one would rather be numerically consistent, one could also narrow the wand types down to three archetypes, each with much more varying mechanics.
Well, I have strained myself enough for now, opinions on my ideas are welcome. And again, best of luck with the mod!
I would have loved if you updated it weekly like Mojang does with their abomination,
but I guess once ever six months should be enough. lol.
Thanks anyway.
Mojang devotes himself to making minecraft frizz has academics and other things to do he cant do. Mojang can spend everyday doing minecraft and has many people doing coding so thats why it takes time for frizz to do everything since he is one guy with a busy life
Got finally Java working about late in the summer, and also got finally playing this mod... What can I say? I TOTALLY LIKE THIS MOD!!
I give you 4/5 diamonds! Don't worry, get that missing diamond when you have finished it a little, like adding those promised area purifications, capes, and othser cool stuff. I am waiting. Patiently.
No worry's its going to be cool no matter what comes out

At some point, that was the original plan-- however, with the new Modding API coming out... well, we'll just wait and see
Also, ROLL TIDE, HOW'S IT FEEL TO LOSE 49 TO ZILCH?!?!?!?
No, there isn't currently an official server for the mod (though there are some very good ones hosted by Lukeycraft and Aegis I believe, I highly recommend them.)
Awesome, just send it my way whenever you're done!
Eh, well that might conflict with the long-term goal of having characters completely independent of worlds and stored online, hehe.
What have you worked on before?

Woop woop.
I feel like a celebrity!

This mod has been the best mod to play and texture, all at the same time.

I would have loved if you updated it weekly like Mojang does with their abomination,
