That is awesome news from Oru.

People may think that the clustering system is getting too much love, but don't worry because it is necessary for the long-life of the Emu. This is no dog and pony show where they just slap some code together and emulate the function of the SOE servers. They are taking it a step above to make it more cost effective while also being more effective in terms of player caps.

Everyone benefits from clustering, not just server admins. More people = a larger community and hence more people to interact with. And if the Emu team does decide to keep the binaries and host their own server they are going to need the highest player cap they can get when all the server communities converge on an official SWGEmu server. But if they decide to release the binaries other people it means that people who can host a server will not really be limited on the amount of people they can host, unlike on ****ty WoW private servers.

Thanks for the updates Oru, it is much appreciated.
