Believe me, I know him. and where he is.
You know maybe he left the game cause he had other important things to do. My gosh everyone wanting this guy to come back. Just let the guy go in peace. Whether he is wanting to give out the source codes is entirely his decision, you cant force someone to give something when it is initially his. Now I know there is no right or wrong side to this but he has been gone for a very long time. It comes to the point where it is apparent he wont come back whether you ask or not. I mean there is no harm in asking im sure, but im sure he left this place cause he didn't want the constant nagging about it.
I never liked the way he just upped and left with no word, in my opinion that was wrong, hundreds of people play this game so in a way hundreds of people were sort of let down. But then it is just a game. If it was my game and I had had enough of it, I would have given the coding to someone I trusted and let them do with it what they want. At the end of the day though, it is his decision to make, no one if forcing him to come back, but they have some right to ask. Him coming back would be great, after leaving for so long I'm sure we wouldn't expect much in an update anyway. He doesn't even have to come back to the game if he doesn't want to, giving someone else the codes would do fine.
