While I <3 the emu project, I do hope that if and when SoE finds EQlive no longer worth supporting, they produce server software and tools for the community.
Would also be neat if the basic client was eventually stripped of copyrighted material (sounds, art, zones, etc) to allow for skins, plugins, custom content to be produced and used in conjunction with said server software for a free middleware-style online rpg package
