I'm not really sure whats to get excited about.
1 heavily populated server with massive lag for any non US players and 10's of sparesely populated servers, that will die off rather quickly.
Monopolies are never a good idea for the consumer (end-user/us) they are always great for the people running them.
SWGEMU now have a very captive audience and will draw any new players instantly. They have effectively killed off any of the other servers, some of which are better able to host a server.
Most of you wont care because you've been blowing sunshine up SWGEMU's arse for so long, but a lot of people have put a great deal of effort into preparing a dedicated server and that work has been nulified by this announcement.
The future doesnt seem so bright.
