That being said, I don't know what you guys would plan on doing with it (i'm assuming your team would be the new "wizards" to work on the game) but if Steve does decide to sell it off I would definitely still play the nostalgic game.

Also, the complaint about not having the original faithful wizards concern popped up. Based on the numerous posts by Arilou and Teshuvah saying they are no longer going to be involved, it appears that if Wyvern came back up, there wouldn't be the Arch Wizard support there used to be. apart from those two, we also had Contrare, who was coding a ton of the new content, out doing his own thing.

My main point being, if you guys are really serious about wanting to bring the game back, have the programming experience you say you have, and have been honest, rule-abiding players of Wyvern, maybe you should try to get R to bring Wyvern back by showing him your skills as programmers and your willingness to become wizards. That way, the game is back, R still has control of the code, and you guys get to contribute.

Just a couple of thoughts, feel free to bash them up.

I completely agree. First and foremost though, I'm speaking for myself at the moment, is that I would want the old community to be comfortable if these changes were to even occur. If to many were against it then I personally don't know if I'd feel completely comfortable with it. Honestly, I just want the game back. Like you said, anything is better than no Wyvern at all.

I wish I could get some of the old Wizards back into the project, and maybe if I can get a hold of them they would want to become a part of this possible future. I do like your idea of just letting R know that there are still people willing to work on the game out there, I only wish I had better means of communicating with him. As of now I haven't received a reply but I didn't intend to get a reply right away either.

Anyway, we are just a group of guys that loved the game and want it back up. No ridiculously big changes or anything, we just want it back. Personally I played with one of my best friends in the game and after he passed away I put it on myself to at least contribute slightly to bringing it back. I guess we'll just see what happens.

Like I said, I appreciate the attempt regardless of whether or not I approve of the outcome. If you and your friends feel that this is the best course of action to take to get the game back, don't let a couple of concerned forum posts stop you.
No worries, I'm only taking what each player says very critically because the game is just as much mine as it is anyone else's. If one person isn't comfortable with it, then who am I to say what should be done? I really appreciate your input though, but I suppose it's too early to say anything yet. I just want the game back. If I could just hear R say even "No, I don't want to do that" I'd be better off compared to where I am now.

I care! let me know how you feel if you'd like.
