What exactly will it take to re-create TAO?

[CPC]

Is it all just coding that I would need to learn (not making that sound easy, just clarifying)? Are there specific programming skills I need? The last 6 months I've spent a lot of time doing web design and fiddled around with code academy...but it would take a looooong time for me to get on the level needed to re-create this game...I think? I also noticed Hulky posted a thread with a ton of script from TAO...if that is what makes it all happen then I guess my question then would be what's holding everyone up from implementing it? Copyright infringement?

PS. It's been a year since I checked in on this replacement forum and I thought BR was remaking the game but...it seems maybe not so? I played his demos and those are legit but I don't see any talk about further progress? I mean literally its like half the game already accomplished in these demos...what's the hold up from finishing it off?

So many questions, please lemme know!
