I know I am kinda like the naysayer regarding this topic, but I think recreating Spellborn is such a great effort, that it just isn't worth it. It will never come to an working version, in the end.
Remember, that it took a full team of programmers and artists (I don't know how many exactly, around 20?) 4 years to create Spellborn. So Spellborn took something like 80 man years to create (Do you say it like that in English? In Germany, things like this are calculated in "Mannjahren", meaning how long it takes a single person to do it).
And we would have to do that all in our free time.
Even only recreating the server part is a huge task, as the servers are offline, we can't do any traffic sniffing to get started.
If you intend to do such a thing, do it only if you enjoy the process of doing so.
