Well he's talking about the
SWGEMU Servers. People who're making a free version of the game pre-patch 19, I think, and running it from their own server. Neither SOE nor Lucas Arts has anything to do with it. Unless they decided to sue.
They can't charge for it, but they can accept "Donations". Once they get the software up and running I think it will be "Open Source". Meaning anyone can run their own server, change/upgrade the software as they like. You'll definately need a T1 in order to do it.
For example some servers may have xcellerated XP gains, different lightsabers, skins, mods etc... But it looks like everyone will be going after "pure" pre-patch19 servers. Not real sure on everything but its very interesting study.
A Sith has nothin' compared to the passion of a lot of former SWG fans
