If you want to compile the Source and run it, you can. It's Open Source and there's absolutely nothing to stop you from doing so. If you want to generate a large population for your server, one of the ways to do so would be to meet the requirements that will be set, and register* the server w/ the Emu project.

* Register and Certified would be my terms... just to clarify the jist of it. I don't know what the complete process will be, not sure the devs do yet either.

Thank you for the reply Corbaer. That makes sense.

Also known as standards. These are used to insure the best environment possible to players.

Well, they did write the thing, after all. It's theirs, not yours, not ours. Show some appreciation that the developers decided to pursue the project at all.

There is nothing at all unfair in the developers using the system they have developed from the ground up in whatever manner they see fit. You people who feel entitled to other people's work just kill me.

However, if there is some underlying strategy going on here, then SWGEMU will continue on this path.

People have been begging the SWGEmu people to host a server when the project came to fruition. Here they are, giving us what we've asked for.

Does anyone know when the server spec sheet will be coming out? I have a couple servers I am not using and wonder if they meet the requirements.

A true benchmark can't be ran to determine server requirements until the product is ready for release. There are still many systems that haven't been designed, so it is still too early to make any accurate judgements on what will be required to host an SWGEmu server. In the end, it will depend on how large of a population you are aiming to support.

its there code they can do whatever they want with it, including hosting their own server, which would probably be better in quality then a lot of other people's servers which will eventually turn into "gee i wanna play god today and since i have a private server no one can stop me" kinda games.

WOOT!!! thanks soooo much guys!! cannot wait till this goes live!

AAAAAAhahahaha... Funniest thing I've read today. "Unfair". OMG ROFL.

I lost track of the effort for about a year, but a friend made me look at it a few weeks ago. This is looking hawt.

Thanks to the dev team.

Probably not decided yet for Sun Crusher once it's on Core3 1.0... Perhaps we can get some idea for TC:Sun Crusher. But that may not be decided yet.

on sun crusher will guilds be started the same way they are on current srvr, or will the houseing system be in use?

Q1 means the first quarter of 2009 correct?

As strange as it is to get a committal ETA from any ongoing development team (besides M$, which are always wrong), Q1 2009 should mean before April 1, 2009.

Hooray for the Xmass gift! Cheers to the devs who are the ones who realy made this possible, and to all of us who have been testing stuff too ofcourse!

Awesome.

Is there really more to say?
