Pics or didn't happen.
No one has hosted a private server ever, due to fear of lawsuits or just the fact everything is encrypted.
Or due to the fact that the original source code isn't available, making the original game incompatible with any private server attempts. Oh, and let's not even talk about the authentication servers. Without source code and heavy tweaking, it's impossible.
It's possible without source, but then again, xlive is more complacited then a typical MMO. Many MMOS get reverse engineered and get private servers.
People tried to reverse engineer PSO Xbox when that shut down in 2008, and it was deemed too hard, as they would need to modify the source and strip out xlive, and by then, it would lack all the xbox only features like Voice Chat or friends lists.
tl;dr, they would need to strip xlive and hack the game heavily, so no private servers will be made any time soon. And by the end, you would need a softmod.
