SWGemu polled the community. She said it wants to keep the old server Basilisk while opening up the new shard of Finalizer. Both sides of a server are considered temporary test servers until SWGemu is finished and a permanent play server is launched (i.e., the long-promised Suncrusher). The team said that the old Basilisk server is stagnant and a new shard is needed to get testers in to play. We’re closer to the end of the goal than we have ever achieved, and the light is visible at the end of the tunnel, said the SWGemu team. There are still some features that need to be implemented and others that need to be tested regularly. We have to get rid of a lot of bugs that aren’t too early. There are various things that we wish to test before starting our production server and we think it’s a good time to start that. Source: SWGemu.
