These are the same decisions we make for free. No matter what the choice, people get upset.
They own the property/intellectual property rights to say.. the Trilogy client. I think they could offer a digital download of it, and a lot of people would buy it. They wouldn't even need to ship boxes to stores and they could make burst profit from a client that would otherwise not produce income.
There is no way they are going to buy their own source code. They have real code, and can fill in the 'unknowns' a lot better than the open source community. Rogean and Haynar are doing a great job at tuning Titanium to run classically, but the work done is for the Titanium client. It would be quite an undertaking to ,as Excision put it, 'jive' together. I'm surprised no one mentioned the database or quests. That's what provides the content you are playing. I spent the last year researching and implementing/fabricating hacks of little insignificant situations. If they do not have a stored database and original quest system, they would be paying someone to do this yet again.. and it would take A LOT of time and effort. If they are reading, I'm LFJ, btw :P

One thing I would add is, SOE would find a way to ruin it once again. I don't trust them, they would have manastones for sell in a item shop. Thank you guys for all the hardwork you do to make this possible. The most fun MMO on the market.
