Good grief, some of you are delusional.

There is no way they do not have every patch and alteration of the game from 1999 to present archived somewhere.

Why would they pay for their own product, thats just stupid.
They don't, they've said they don't. They may have object code archives of patches (like those posted) but not source code. And by the way, even if they HAD source, recreating a running system (including database, config etc etc) as of a certain point in time from old source code archives is pretty damned difficult work for expensive people who are currently engaged in developing code that is aimed at maximizing their revenue. Buying code is cheap in comparison. I hope they just decide to distribute clients for a reasonable amount rather than buying out P99 tho...
