Well, if your games is popular enough some may start to do revival project or create these custom servers.
Back in late 2000s I rememver my brother who used to play WoW on private server (which unaffiliated with Blizzard) and mostly these unofficial server are popular for MMOs game back then.
Nowaday, you can have something like OpenSpy which emulates GameSpy servers runs by communities. It is all depend how deeper you want to venture each games.
What you can’t preserve is the joy of playing on period correct experience :)
