Just because it is too complex for a 14 year old who cannot do anything except wave a sword around doesnt mean that noone else is playing it. EO is not designed for retarded people, hence the lower playercount.
I you mean the sourcecode for the server, it has "been out" for a long while: WoWEmu and Ascent have been around for years now and lots of other MMOs network protocols have been reverse engineered and put into Server Emulators.
Its not hard to create emulation software. Just fire up Wireshark and Visual Studio and off you go - i have helped one team develop code for capturing data from the game server straight to CSV files that went into MySQL. They have even developed serverside anti-cheating code in it - something that the original game doesnt even have.
