who owns the rights to TCOS?

I guess the original investors (incl. the founder of the 'Free Record Shop' chain) own the rights to the game. Trying to find out who and how all leads back to Spellborn N.V. at an address that isn't used anymore (as VampireTrix has stated before). 

 

Even if we found the current license holders; what's next? Trying to setup a private server is most likely a no-go. And the license holder(s), in question, might not have direct access to the game's assets and code anymore. 

 

Nevertheless if the owner does step up or if someone finds a way to contact him/her, we'd definitely be all on it. 

 

 

 

ps: I've searched the internet quite extensively on the matter right before and after the game's final closing. I wasn't able to find any proper contact information. The furthest we've gotten back then is speaking to one of the higher up people at Frogster about them shutting down the activities on the F2P remake.
