I'll always be both fascinated and appreciative of non-profit communities that keep old, shut-down MMOs—like my personal love, City of Heroes—up and running. As is the case for Star Wars Galaxies, which has had a private server in Restoration that's been delivering large-scale updates for years now.

And when I say large-scale, I mean it. This thing's got the feature heft of a major patch for any modern MMO. Shatterpoint throws the galaxy of SWG into civil war.
