I may be wrong but with just a disk image to run the game - it would be quite likely the game will come back with all servers in place.
Just firing it up and setting it up as it was in the past would be by far the easiest way to go. That could change as the new owners learn more about the game but I would think that would be the best way to do it.
See, this is actually something that unnerves me a little bit: the part about dusting off the servers, turning the game on, and getting it running again. In the post mortem with Matt Miller, I recall Matt discussing the fact that there were a
ton of moving parts and that it was kind of amazing that they were able to keep it running. I think he said something to the effect that it was able to keep going because there were people who understood how the moving parts worked together on the staff.
Then again, I could
totally be misremembering, so don't take my word too seriously; I watched the post mortem a long time ago.
I would be worried about whoever picks up the game learning quickly enough how to work with the servers and keep it running, even if just in maintenance mode. I hope that it would be as simple as just firing it up though. And it's just as true that the new owners would learn a lot about the game, and my worries could prove unfounded.
