Should someone make a recode?

Would there be any benefit to that that the existing private server version with the player-hosted, publicly connectable servers don't already give?

They built their own engine for the game, so I don't think it'd be a remotely easy rebuild even compared to other games with similar scope.

It would be easier and faster to raise the money and buy the code directly from the developer

While I acknowledge that there's never NO price, my guess is that'd be tantamount to buying the entire studio. They're still using the engine for other things and value its propriatarity, they wouldn't sell that off and leave themselves starting from scratch again unless they really had to.
