Probably just as well. With such a short development cycle it was a sure bet the DiMera Clan (PVP-centric) was going to be more or less just a placeholder until the 45-day patch and the Hortons and Alamains (both RPG-centric) weren't even going to be available at launch. Here's hoping someone out there in MMO-land will pick this IP up. It's a guaranteed hit.

Anyway, I know what you're trying to say, but that game-that-we're-not-talking-about that you're talking about isn't the game in question. It's that game's 6 month older sibling that's being discussed. "Days Of Our Lives Online" won't be going that route anytime soon according to its devs. The one you're thinking of is "Passions Online".

I haven't seen a layout of revenue per year for said game and so I have to take "doubled revenue" with a healthy grain of salt. Also, the lesser point that "revenue" isn't "profit" and I doubt any company is being very open with their operating expense and if/how they've increased under the new plan.
The only thing "doubled their revenue" does without more information is sound good on the gaming blogs.
