It was probably doing better at closure than a lot of F2P mmos are doing today (Star Trek Online for example)

I'd like to bring back old Galaxy City, it would especially lighten the load on Atlas Park.

I wanted to suggest that to help pay for the service you set it up as a charity. Call it Heroes for Children's Hospitals or something, set up a donation system, and any donations beyond the needs of the server get donated to Child's Play or something. Be super transparent about the amounts, costs, etc. I'm not a lawyer or financial adviser so obviously seek professional advice first, but the public perception of NCSoft sending a cease and desist to a charity could help in keeping them off your backs.
