I doubt it'll happen, but I too would like to run a private 1.0 server. Not the way it was right before they shut it down, but as it was when the game first came out. Where thm's had absorbs spells and whm's had water as a spell. Where you had blood surge I, II and III. Really, short of legality reasons and fear of free competition, there's no real reason for them not to. Also, it doesn't hurt to kindly ask.
