Think of it this way: how many people left Project 1999 for Agnar? How many of those people would never even have known Agnar existed if not for Project 1999? Those are customers that Daybreak got without spending a cent on advertising: P99 provided them "for free".
In other words, Project 1999 is good for Daybreak, and that is why they won't shut it down. They might want to maximize how much benefit they get from Project 1999 (eg. by making them delay a new server until Agnar has been out awhile), but they don't want to kill the goose that lays golden eggs for them.
