There’s a Reddit post too on the game subreddit about some people getting something going on the weekends.

Cheers mate.

I haven't been able to get it to run, but I'll figure it out. Thanks very much.

Hop in that discord and ask someone for advice on setting it up! A similar thing happened to a game dear to me, and I was struggling with the setup to play on privately hosted servers.

I hopped in the Discord, and three people were eager to help me. They just want to build their communities back up :P

I got it working, it just doesn't work in WINE or a VM for some reason. There's like 250 people in here now and a single server with 40 people playing

Unfortunately it looks like the people spearheading the reunion are turbo racist anti-LGBT dickheads, which checks out from memory, but it was a nice idea.
