I couldn't help but feel excitement for Earth!

News of the server shut down has been tough to take.

I do not think that NCSoft needs to put any more work into the game besides finishing what they've already started.

There is the argument that a focus on PVP content could have made the game more compelling. Clan Wars were/are certainly an exciting prospect.

As I understand it, there were plans to add more PVP content but the PVP system was limited and bugged.

Perpaps rewriting the squad/clan/PVP code from the ground up and adding Battlegrounds/Death Matches (along with the first person mode) could provide compelling content for players.

Just don't think of this as a WoW alternative. That's what I most love about this game.
