Then it dies. Simple as that. If no-one fights for something like what happens to other MMOs, which might I add, the original creators of that never complain, then it dies.
At this point, LEGO would need a very good reason to revive it... And unfortunately, this is another way that LU differs from MML3's cancellation... The cancellation for MML3 was uncalled for, as they had no effective data to show that people wanted it... And even after all that attention and massive uproar; MML3 is showing no signs of being released unless things rapidly change... Even after another few developers have expressed interest in finishing it.
However, here, we have a year of data on how many players are playing, and such. We know that people really like it; and really want to play it... heck; I want to play it, and at this rate, I literally never will(Thanks a lot, LEGO. >_>); but well... It's a fact on BZP, and it's a fact on here... The people who are outspoken on forums, are in the majority typically... And if you look on BZP, a lot of the members who are replying, are mostly saying 'I told you so', or saying other things that are negative to LU... And I doubt that's helping anything. =/ While a campaign might work, and I wouldn't be opposed to it... The chances of it working for LEGO to revive the game, without relying on unofficial servers, or even LEGO giving up the rights(Which IMO is even more unlikely than them reviving it themselves), are just about 0. I'm not going to lie; it's not a good outlook for the game, but I don't really think I should kid myself... If three or more months of trying to get a game back has failed already this year; the only thing we have going that would be different, is the fact that LEGO's a more fan-orientated company than Capcom from the getgo... But I don't even think that'll help if there's no possibility of the game living on past the deadline without LEGO's say-so.
I know; you'll say something like "Don't be so pessimistic, we can do this, if we gather attention we can show LEGO they were wrong!"... But; again; I already went through that once this year. That didn't work out a bit; even though at one point the movement reached I believe every inch of the Capcom site. Nothing happened. Everything canceled this year is still canceled. I stand by the thought that half these are fail cancellations, but in the end, the company has the last say, and I would request one time when a cancellation has been undone by fan effort alone, without that being an unofficial server being put up for an MMO, as it doesn't count in this situation anymore given what you said.
