Just like you "can't have" a private WoW or UO server, right?
This game isn't even big enough for a private server. As others have pointed out, if you find the right corner, the odds of being bothered are slim. If you want to be able to play with the numbers and crap, there's plenty of open source MUD engines and code you can use to build you're own world. Some of them even have graphical clients. I'm not even sure what is and isn't available anymore as I haven't looked into it in over 10 years (more like 15).
