I don't think I could trust them to remake/remaster XI faithfully. In order to update a lot of it, they'd have to rebuild the entire thing from the ground up, and the inevitably means that they will change something "small" which will ripple into changing other "small" things until at last the ripple spreads so far that it's different enough that it's not XI anymore.

Plus if they remaster it, will it still include Trusts and the like? It largely relies on Trusts these days, especially considering its old and grizzled playerbase are fairly insular for multiple reasons.

Even old players returning aren't welcomed into groups with open arms, patience, and understanding. There's a lot of, "Oh, we can play together after you catch up using Trusts." Or a lot of, "You should be able to handle that by yourself."

The old, old style of XI is something of a novelty, with people clamoring for it if they can get it for free (private servers), but not a lot of retail minded folks wanting it back.

Plus they'd have to deal with modern care about botting, a lot of old players bot the shit out of shit and use LUAs. It'd kind of be a nightmare.
