It must take a hardcore fan base to make this happen and I'm not sure of all the details. Just over a year ago, a story came out that the game was still being played by fans that somehow got the full game configured on a private server. More servers have come up and I recently got on one myself.
I had played the game for almost 2 years before this sudden shutdown by NC Soft that didn't make sense. I'm not sure if the game was losing money or just some corporate BS
Back when I was curious about MMOs, I picked this and had a lot of fun with it until the shutdown, so I'm having a nostalgia moment running this again. Today, I have a nice ASUS much stronger than the sad Compaq I had about 10 years ago so I easily max the graphics settings. On that, the graphics are kind of dates, but this game has such an insane variety in character customizing, powers, zones, and enemies that I still enjoy messing with it. It also always somehow had a casual feel about it for chat or forming teams.
It also had Mission Architect that allowed player to design custom missions. I think the amount of player created content made this game feel like such a creative experience between this and so many character designs running around.
One of the fun things was when zone invasions happened or giant monsters appear. Then people form several teams to pile on and fight it.
Hopefully, NC Soft is still assessing this IP especially in a time of popular superheroes and movies.
