Yeah, I don't get it..
MxO is the best MMO I have ever played, actually to be honest all he others I have tried have been lame in comparison. I don't know why SOE would let all the work they've done just go to waste. Its such a shame, it blows my mind.
I understand its a pure business decision, clearly MxO wasn't making enough money. And the development required to allow users to use the server software is probably way to expensive.. Not to mention any proprietary code they may not want released.. But still, I'm pretty sure SOE aren't exactly bleeding money, and I would think that with all of the money the other MMO's were pulling in they could subsidise at minimum 1 server.
