Now with this in mind, you can expect to see some good things coming to the community. As always, we can expect to see some shifts and growing pains as a game ages and as the community around it grows and shifts. This is just one more example of that. The top sites/servers will rise above the rest with the changes and good things will come.

As a member of the SWTOR community, do you play on emu servers or modded servers? How do you feel about things moving to open source like this? Do you think it will improve things? Is this something that you would participate and volunteer in yourself?
