There was MTP Target, a clone with penguin which had a pretty active community circa 2008[1][2]
I loved this game. It had an IRC server included so you could chat while in game, a forumboard, and a pretty diverse community. The gameplay was simple to learn but difficult to master, with a lot of fun for everyones.
Sadly, it was open-source but not so much. The sole developer never opened up the source of the server, and even the client's were not keep up to date, so it was impossible to play elsewhere than the official server.
The sole developer had a little revenue stream by selling premium account (which enabled the possibility to use custom skins and access to a private server) and never accepted to let the community fix bugs or host other servers. There was quiet a bit of friction and drama between him and some members of the community, and in the end he prefered letting the game die than giving it to the community.
