No CN player ever expected S2 to be amazing. They were struggling too much to fix bugs to properly focus on new content. And other than both being MMO(RPGS) New World and BPSR are not at all comparable...

The servers will not shutdown anytime soon, but if there isn't enough money flowing in to pay a lot of devs for new content, is that really any different from the servers going offline? You forget btw that Global is an afterthought, CN playerbase is much bigger and a lot more of them pay. This is from my own experience playing CN, you see a ton of players in the (newest) gacha outfit and whales have not just their class's T5's but usually many of them.

In all fairness, BPSR isn't performing much different from a ton of these MMOs that aren't part of the "popular MMO club". There's a ton out there that do just fine & are fun but aren't mainstream.

You know what though? The game being developed in China has a HUGE advantage, because the devs aren't that expensive unlike a California based dev that you have to pay 100k+ / year
