And if so, what tactics did they use? Pester the devs? Crowdfunding to buy the rights to the game from the devs? Something else?

Edit: I'm more looking for instances of the actual original game being open-sourced through fan efforts or outright purchase, like how Blender was originally open-sourced as a result of a crowdfunding campaign. The open-source rewrites of games are awesome, but I don't have the skills to build a relatively elaborate game on my own. It's also not a popular game, more niche, really, so I'm just wondering what are the possibilities.

I tried looking into this and I'm having trouble setting it up, although I'm on linux so that might be my doing.

I followed the guide on Darkmatters

I'm also on Linux. Ensure you have docker and docker-compose installed. IIRC you also need the windows server files# . I'll get back to you with my server compose file.

Sorry - I wasn't clear. I can't seem to join any servers. Some comments mention changing the default server to "hex41.de" so I changed that but I can't connect.

Maybe it's since been taken down or something.
