Hey guys
Kinda late to add an responds even though i kinda see this late so sorry about this
Things you need to know.
First we got the database. This holds all the accounts/objects/quests/items etc
Then we got the source code so the emulator that allows to run the client.
Also we the patcher server and the login server.
might be another server i dunno.
I think there is probably a way to get the source code from disney but that's requires a funding unless they are willing to set it as open source. So asking buy price to take over this game. I dunno any mmo drm free yet. There is always a ip connected but i could be wrong.
So if you do have the source. Best way then would to find a dedicated server like posted before in this topic i suppose. You could run the server from a distance way that shouldn't be a problem. Also the server could be code in c+++. Which ask the next questions who is willing to solve them.
Nowadays c++ are less used towards servers but more client-side. Of course you got the latency between people. As hosting it in different area's.
That's what i got.
But that's how i think about it.
Or the other possibility which i saw not so long ago someone rewritting the game correct if i am wrong haven't checked it very good.
Sorry for some typo's just wrote it really fast.
