It has been my goal to stand up my own server and get it running before anything bad happens with Homecoming (not that I want it to) just as a backup. My first swing at it was unsuccessful but I'll figure it out.
As far as Homecoming, I'd like to see the negotiations finish with a win/win scenario.
The quick testing I did on Pineapple for MMs seems to be pretty sweet - I rolled a Bots/Dark, boosted him to 50, and ran a mission or two. AI changes look pretty promising although I've seen some posts from people saying the changes don't help Demons or Beasts with Kinetics maybe??? It would be cool if these changes could go through soon. I have 3 MMs that have been sitting around waiting for playtime.
