For all I know they are in the red, but let me say this, its my guess they went out of beta so quickly because they were making to much to basically be called a beta. They basically had to leave beta or start having some explaining to do about making so much steady income as a beta. 100% a guess, but there it is.

It was said in something somewhere by one of them that it had to do with some Canadian laws and taxes if memory serves correctly.
As far as making a new game,, well that is what game companies have to do. The shelf life of most games are very limited in most cases. And it would not be smart for them to bank on one title, especially one like this with such limited and volatile fan base.
With that being said,, I do think it is a little weak to pull/move/realign people from this title with such slow progress on things such as maps/CW (though CW does at least seem to be showing signs on progress though a year or 2 late)
