Could you build this?

Partial Open-source MU Online server emulators exist, so the server logic is partly available. Running the 2000s client in the browser with zero downloads needs a client port and game asset pipeline, which is hard.

What it would actually take: A real version needs a compatible game server (game logic, combat, economy, and networking, e.g., reusing an open-source emulator) plus a browser client, likely via WebAssembly or WebGL reimplementation of the original client. Original game assets must be extracted and converted. This takes reverse-engineering and game-engine expertise, and the legal status of the assets is a concern.
