The plug won't be pulled until revenue>cost of maintaining, unless Korea follows different Economy handbook
That would be a reasonable way to look at things. But then again, take 3 steps back (away from the game) and try to look at everything NCSoft did to this game and try to find coherence and common sense. Regardless of how much the game makes, it will not be getting better. They can just pull the plug and announce the next Lineage 2 Insert Coin to Rebirth mobile game remake. and "Everyone" would be happy because despite NCSoft being.. NCSoft, eveyone wants a new L2.
