How do you fund a development team? Money.
What generates money? Buyers.
What ensures a steady (and positive) flow of money? Lots of buyers.
How do you get buyers? Give them a product they want.
How do you give them a product they want? By giving them the things they can relate to, in an improved form.
Rinse and repeat for expansion packs etc.
It's pretty basic stuff really, in the end SOE wants market shares and alot of them - otherwise they wouldn't have released the funds to develop PS2 in the first place.
Saying "X and Y was alot better in PS1" is just stupid, in the end Planetside failed to grab the market shares it needed to stay afloat, hence it slowly died due to lack of funding (read my example above).
