Well... not entirely impossible, but close. You would need an old client installation from CDs, circa release thru Velious (or Kunark if you didn't want the Velious ui). Then you would need a copy of the old emulator server code - you might be able to find this.

Then you need to make sure the old server code is compatible with the old client. This would require tracking down opcodes and all that good stuff. Not to mention, even if you did all of this, it would only be you on the server, since it's illegal to redistribute the client files.

Not to mention, the emulator back in those days was very hackishly put together. Did I mention you'd also need a database that was compatible with the server so that doors, NPCs, and spells will show up in game?

Ill just stick to modifying this one =P

My C++ sucks :(
