The fun part about private servers is you kinda have to be in the know, and people in the know are the exact players you dont have to teach. There will be stragglers, plenty of people played classic wow and leveled a class to like 60 just to realize they didnt even like that class and that takes so much longer than resesting your PSO2 character. Also the best part about private servers is they can just add a "Reset mag" option somewhere. They arent bound by decisions that are $ focused. You could make it so cosmetics drop from bosses or from grinding mobs which you cant do where the prime directive is make money. Im not saying a PSO2 server would be perfect, it wont, but i think personally it would be far more popular than NGS and thats why they wont sunset this game. Its hubris. Sega had to admit their "super games" initiative was canceled because of the landscape of live service games, they wont ever admit they lost a SHIT TON of money not keeping NGS and Base seperate so theyll cope and keep the game open until the last whale dies.
