RYLU started from June 06 - August 07. This private server has lasted more than a year; this is something that everyone should admire. It was and it still is the best community of RYL. You can tell from the posts from this topic.
As for me, whether it comes back or not, I won't be coming back because I realise that my life is more important than spending such time on a game. This purpose of what I'm trying to say is that I waste too much time on RYLU because it is the best and I just love the community that I couldn't stop chatting ingame. I played RYLU for 8 months, it has been my happiest 8 months of ingame play, I have never found any private server like this one.
All major sites will get hacked. If RYLU gets hacked, it shows that the site is important to the hackers, so be optimistic and think proudly over RYLU.
Recovery is highly possible as long as you cooperate with other people, DH. I will give you an example. A warez forum, the biggest forum, recently got hacked. It has a population of 350,000++, average about 1200 on at all times. It was hacked by a small warez community. The reason was because they were jealous of the site. That biggest warez site suffered major loss in data, but still continue to be the greatest warez site. This is 1 important reason for not loosing the site: the admins and moderators did not give up and all the community supported it.
To DH:
It has been great fun playing in this server and know the community from all over the world. I chose this game over others such as, WoW, MU, and other MMORPGs, simply because the community is very friendly. What I'm trying to say is that, DH, do not give up hope, all the people in this community will support you, on what ever decision you make, simply because you provided this great server for all of us to play.
If you are planning to resurrect the server, please remember this: if you plan any changes, please discuss the changes with the community on to HOW to IMPROVE the server, so that even more players will join.
My time of RYL and also online games is over, I hope the community will grow if the server does come back, because I love RYLU the most.
Take care, I won't be ingame anymore, only in forums.
Cheers.
