Will there be a need for tekkit with the merge of ssp and smp?

espicially with the new modding api coming along in the next update or two, wouldn't you just use the plugins like you would in single player, or would it be different?

Actually, I think there is a mod out that allows the player to play without being in a server.

I think it all depends on wether or not people are willing to update their mods for 1.3. I can imagine some people don't want to spend time making their mod multiplayer compatible, and will either just give up, or continue updating their mods for older versions of minecraft.

I think we can speculate as much as wel like, but I doubt we'll figure out much. I'll personally just wait until some official news concerning it comes out from the Technic team.
