some questions:
while testing the 'unofficial patch' - do you know if person with patch can connect to person without patch (and vice versa)?
would this balance patch be in form of installer or a mod?
i understand that all changes would be done in database, so making a mod is a possibility ( xmax is database mod and people without xmax can join it.. so it could be possible that people without balancing patch could join the server with that patch.. also if it would be mod - people could choose to run it or not at will.. if you install it you can't simply uninstall it)

we can also start defining what do you/we mean by balancing:
- is it nerfing overpowered skills (example: can't think of anything right now because what i like to use is powerful, but not overpowered in my mind)
- is it making unusable skills usable (example: briar ward, flame surge, takedown)
- is it changing item properties (example: sapros' reduced resistances, archmage clasps -recharge)
- is it making monsters more tough (example: epic monsters could have more health and/or resists and/or damage and/or use more skills)
- is it also something else?
