Well, I have started rewriting the client (yes, again). This time I am confident that it will turn out well. Today was the second time I had time to work on it, and it can now log in to the server. You can take a look at a screenshot of it here. It is pretty basic, I am just trying to get it working, then will make it look nicer.
Good news: As of May 11, I am now done with finals! So I will be working a lot on Epoch, I hope. Check in for updates.
