I don't think this game has ever been thriving, or been seen as thriving.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
Of course, considering how much of the game they didn't bother to translate into English, it probably didn't cost them much to add an English language version.
As far as the combat, it does take some getting used to, but once you've got it, it's a blast to fight your way through large groups of enemies, and the boss battles do get better as you go further into the game. I'd say it's one of the best side-scrolling MMOs I've played. I'd love an open-world game based on the Closers world, or maybe a peek into the pasts of some of the older characters. I hope that the game doesn't shut down any time soon, it's definitely a game that worth looking into. As for how there are parts of the game that still haven't been translated yet, they probably just wanted to get the characters themselves in before bringing in the rest of the game.
