Imo it would be the best to get an own private server here.

A new publisher would probably destroy the game with some Free to Play rubbish and there would be again fear to lose the game if too less people pay.

 

It would be our server then where we could decide.

 

As far as I know they are still working on it but its hard to make progress in such a complicated thing because they only use their free time beside their jobs.

And all what i know is ,that alot of work have to be done to run the game again.

 

We have to see what will happen in the future but i think 2-3 years is realistic.
