The major issue with it, though...
Is that it really has no direction. The code is old and positively awful at this point, and the source itself is barely workable. There isn't much that can, in its current form, be done to it. To that end, and in order to ensure that anyone with a bit of knowledge and/or creative vision can work with it, I would like to propose it become open-source.
If it does? I could set to maintain it myself with anyone who wants to pitch in, or anyone really could do what they want with it. They could improve the code, refine it, make it playable, and make it workable-- Make it fun! To that end, I would appreciate you, specifically, signing.
By signing, you help us work to make it open-source, so that anyone may do what they wish from it. Yeah, it may not work out well, but it could, and there is no sense in not making an attempt.

The current silence from the developers is telling so we need to turn up the volume. Post this link on the Lands of Legend forums today and tag the current administrators in your message. Demand they explain why they refuse to let the community fix this broken codebase.

We hit our stride today and it is clear that many people want the code for Lands of Legend opened up. Please take a moment to post this link on the BYOND forums and email the current maintainers to let them know we are watching. Your direct action is the only way we will get the attention of the developers.

YES PLEASE. I have so many ideas for new zones but theres no way to build them right now. total waste of potential.
The code for this thing is literally ancient at this point. Just let people have it so we can actually fix the bugs that have been around for years.
YES!

Yaaaaaaas, let's go. I can actually icon in genders for other races and we can refine battle and crafting stuff. It's Pucka, by the way.
