Even if we set the whole nostalgia VS progress debate aside, since it's not really the point here, there are a lot of limitations that we have to deal with when it comes to such a major overhaul in the future. I'm not only talking about the feasibility of some ideas (as far as I know, there are certain clients out there with extra functionalities) or Ben's ability to release them publicly at some point, but there's also the fact that the marketing outreach, for a lack of better words, is almost non existent outside the past community keeping it alive and/or players coming back. The fact that the game itself is still under Jiggmin's legacy means it's stuck in this current state of only being available on here via dowload.
Don't get me wrong, it would be cool and nice, plus I'm failry certain most people can root for that in spite of their nostalgia, but for stuff like this to happen with enough impact, there needs to be bigger motives coming from elsewhere than just our best intentions (and I mean with everyone, staff contributions and side projects included). The game can be taken further down its development, sure, but WHY EVEN BOTHER when all those reasons come back anyway, hmmmm... it's not pointless, it's a noble objective, but there's gotta be an external factor.

If you're reading this, it means I have not made a cool signature yet and you should be proud of yourself.
