I honestly hope Daybreak decides to buy P1999 and starts selling access. The rate at which bugs get fixed would go up, and the customer service mentality of the devs and GMs would change: it would go from being "its our server, play by our rules or we will destroy you" to "this is making us money and we need to treat players like customers."
However, as P1999 has the support of Smedley and other Daybreak execs, I doubt it will change (even more so with the agreement signed). I guess I'll have to buy millions of $$$ of Sony/Daybreak stock to see it happen.

If they did this it would kill the server, not because people don't want to pay for it, but because they'd have to turn it into a profit machine to sustain it and that means appealing to the lowest common denominator and implementing cats on the moon and pop books.
It'd be better, imo if they bought it and sold the server software and the databases and the client so that it could stay in the realm of hobby projects Then, if anyone develops content for it, they can sell it through dbg and then both the ip holders and devs can get get something for their work and the gamers get a lot more options.
