Thanks for all the feedback and comments
I see a lot of people are interested in open sourcing this, I'll see if we can do that.

Indeed, Xciles based the design on Battlelog because we think it's one of the nicest server browser designs.
Currently the width is fixed, which means it only maximises in the height. This is a bit weird, we might allow the width to be changed.
The highlight colors for some buttons and the scrollbar still need to be styled properly

I was thinking of using IRC yes, like the current launcher does. Could also be used for some kind of friend system in the future.

That is indeed an advantage of using Java. It is however possible to run .NET code on OSX and Linux using Mono.
The downside is that WPF (the user interface library) is not cross platform, so we'd have to re-do the user interface design on other platforms. All of the code can be re-used though, since it does not use WPF.
It might also be possible to run this on wine, I'll try this later.

I'm pretty sure we're only using the WPF toolkit from Xceed (https://wpftoolkit.codeplex.com/), which is free, but I'll ask to be sure.
