Well yea, thanks to the people on this board, most of the work on the bugfix patch is done. Yes, there is still some work to be done, and it's not going to be started right away, but I do think the iron should be melted when it's hot - and it will be hottest when the unofficial patch is fully done and spreading. So I want to see what interest there is in such a thing. Don't worry that I'll start this project before the bugfix patch is out and running.
Long before any modding can be done, there should be a lot of discussion about the balancing.
About the patch; I assume playing multiplayer with somebody who doesn't have the patch is not going to work - but that's the reason why it should be a communitywide patch. Everybody should have the same patch, just like it would be with an official patch.
Ofcourse, if you don't want a balance patch, you can just not install it - the technical issues are adressed in the fixpatch.

- is it also something else?

I would assume it's all those things. Everything needs to be discussed though, we can't just put things through.
