It did come to them in the form of a dream.
Krrios used to have administrative access on the OSI shards way back when before he was, as I think the story goes, quit. He disagreed with some people and left to make his own client. Why you would create a client or if you already started it, finish it after being fired is beyond me. But, and again as the story goes, RunUO was created for client testing and bloomed into an emulator because the emulators already developed to a point of hosting shards made by lesser beings was inferior to Krrios's packet tester. Anyway, RunUO holds the claim they didn't compile the old server that came with a UO install CD, and they also claim they didn't decompile the other emulators. If this is true outside of encryption removal then all knowledge of the inner workings would have come form Krrios's experience with EA, which I'm sure is illegal in some way, which may be why he does not post often.
If I can dream of code or programming, surely an android we have to talk binary to so he understands us does too.
