Oh I'm sure there are people here who remember this or Albatross18, as it was originally called. It was officially canned back in April of this year, after roughly two decades of service.

However, it never really died. Server emulation became a thing several years ago and there are quite a few private servers around. None are entirely stable but the one above is, for the most part. If you've had an inkling to get back into it after all this time, this is about as good as it gets.

I've been wanting to get my own private server set up for a while, but the process seems rather daunting.....

Would you believe I did that at a point? We deferred from doing it though once we found people much better with the process. I actually had to hex edit the executable for people to be able to access my IP address at the time but I basically had to run a bunch of servers in tandem with the emulator in order to make it run. It was a mess but we had fun with it for a little while there.
