A bunch of people are reserse engineering SWG so that people can play the Pre-CU version of the game, you know the version before SOE fudged the game. They'll be realsing a sand box witht eh ability to create a character any time soon.

I'd imagine that the biggest legal hurdle would be the game content, which is pretty much all copyrighted. I don't think that there is actually anything illegal about reverse engineering the server.

There's likely something illegal (in the civil, not criminal sense) about using the copyrighted client with it.

nope, completely legal SOE is trying to find ways to sue but they can't. SWGEmu is doing this by reverse engineering server packets and building the server from scratch. Essentially their building it completely from scratch and as such not illegal. It does violate the Eula though but that would only get your account with them banned. Riiight banned from a game you werent playing anyways.
