Besides, Rappelz really needs people who want to work as a community and freely share knowledge. If you're wanting to make some money doing coding look for stuff on sites like fiverr for example. You can at least use that work as part of your portfolio.

I completely agree to this, but when it comes to ''Rappelz really needs people who want to work as a community and freely share knowledge'' i also disagree on the same topic.
The only way this community would ever work, is if there was no competition between each and every server, as by ''i am the best ego'' status dissapears. unfortunately, this would and will never happen, mainly due people's personalities.
Over the years, i too have tried to restart a community that is deemed forsaken.
And once in a while we get a piece of the cake, where everyone else gets nothing.
what do i mean? well in your same line :

, i do like to state out, there may be people on this forum wanting this source, why is it not created in a topic, released from what i can see? or am i wrong here? please correct me if so.
it is volatile to share basic components to start ''trades'' on a community such as this, trades in the form of code, where one can swap his lua script for someone else's world map edits and so forth. but as competition rises, sources that got released aren't released more publicly, the community starts to bleed slowly away, as does official, and us with it.
if we all wish for rappelz to exist, we dont necassarily need a community, we just need to stop having an ego, work together in forms of ''fair-trade'', and re-share basic components such as source code that one has or doesn't have.
how much damage, is 9.7 realisiticly going to do on this forum? if anything at all, from what i've seen from Ghost's release, i seen more servers to exist (al be it shortly) than ever, so all the 9.7 source can do, is positive in my opinion, newer developers join, and more souls to work with. some smart, some lesser, it doesnt matter, everyone has a job to contribute but in his own time, doing his own thing.
I for one, would be interested in more different versions of the source, so that we can compare them and see where the main issues are at, although they are clear, gala-labs did significantly change the code among years in good- and mostly bad ways, (shortened pointers are bad!) regardless, its a treasure to have, an waste to not share and selfish to think nobody can get it otherwise.
please dont feel offended, by any of what i said, i just wanted to share my 2-cents among years and years following rappelz.
On topic of Yosiem, i dont know you enough to say this but;
people will pay you for whatever you do in rappelz, but also be advised that european law has tax-rules including your country and they want to know about your Paypal account which is mainly used for transactions, these sum of transactions over a while will not be left un-noticed, consider your steps, workout a plan, and if you think ''it wont happen to me, this is rappelz'', i'd say irrelevant. all this because tax-rules and government companies do not look if you're into rappelz or not, they look into your money and the transactions, and it will be seen as a job.
