I've been looking around this place for a bit and the idea sounds awesome, and I'd love to help out. The thing is is that i really have no programming talent or experience at all. Is there any way I could help out in other ways?
Awesome, I'll Check It Out.
Awesome, I'll Check It Out. Thanks :D

You do not need any
You do not need any programming skills,but you do need to learn the basics of using the CK,I think that the easiest way would be to try your hand at making NPC`s [see the Skywind NPC`s section],there is a demo and other info to help you,but you will need to use the CK.
But just give it a try,could be fun and you will learn a lot.:)
