Perhaps you need to look into the price of renting decent Dedicated Servers from a host, or the price of buying one and having the bill of having it installed and upkept in a datacenter ;). You'll quickly find that 90% of any 2238 servers will be hosted from peoples computers, which will fail quickly as nobody really wants that running on their computer in the background all the time, and draining every bit of internet they have. Then, you'll be left with the 10% that are actually on a good enough machine to handle 2238 with a decent amount of players and no lag. 5% of those won't last 3 months. The owners will quickly decide that the cost is much more than its worth, too hard to form a good administration team, and others will lose interest because there will be no significant active development.
Of the last 5%, there will be active development, a server on a stable machine will be maintained.
Do you see what I'm saying? Yes, there will be a forest of 2238 servers for a bit. However, most of us will not even know the IP; and they will fade away quickly, leaving the ones who have a team of developers who are actually trying to improve the game.
I really hope the devs decide to release the source; however I will let you guys know that my team of developers and myself have talked; and either way we will be making a fonline server; with active development as described above. We've already verified that our Dedicated can handle a fonline server without any problems; as it thrived under various stress tests. I have a community to back it, funding, development, advertisement, and word of mouth.
We hope the devs will release the 2238 source, so we don't have to spend a lot of time just getting in the basics that made 2238 awesome; and can get right at work at making it even better, but that is up for them to decide.

I assure you, sir, ¡you have never met anyone like me! lol…
I waited 1Ø years for THIS… Only to see it die so quickly, which is quit unfortunate.

By all means, please do. lol…

You are, uh, rather an optimist sir…

And again so. I suspect that the “lone survivor” will just be a machine, maintained only so far as absolutely necessary and never tinkered with because that owner will (rightly, wrongly, or otherwise) believe they have “perfected” the game, and even then mainly because THEY want to play… They really won’t care who comes, if anyone, but will leave the door open “just in case.” (Kinda like opening a restaurant because you like food, and “miraculously” having a day job that keeps the doors open, even without customers.)

If you can code them, I'm "game."
