Any insight you could share on why the server didn’t end up being provided to the community for self-hosting?

I had been gone from Turbine for 8 or 10 years by the time they decided to shut AC down, so I can only speculate. I assume it had something to do with WB not wanting to "give away" the IP but instead just lock it away in a vault.
