Yeah, I think the private/secondary Login Servers are actually a great addition to EQEmu and something that has been needed for a very long time. I am definitely against dividing this project, as it does not need to be spread thinner than it is. But, I think the multiplle LS stuff will only strengthen EQEmu. Having to use other Login Servers to access servers from the SoD client is only temporary I am sure. At least until the official EQEmu LS is updated for it. And once it is, the extra Login Servers will make nice backups for when the official one is down, which is awesome. We are no longer 100% reliant on a single point of failure, which is good. Not that the official LS fails very often (because it is very stable), but just that it is good to have a backup when one is needed!
This thread isn't really meant for this particular discussion though.
In news related to this thread, I have added the HP formulas for SoD to the SVN
They aren't 100% perfect yet, but they are much closer than before and probably only need minor tweaking to be perfect. I still have to add the Mana and Endurance formulas, but plan to try to get those added tonight.
