Well, maybe it never worked (although I dont know all deals), but that doesn't mean it cannot work.
Besides LOTRO and DnDO were Codemasters first steps in publishing MMOs and they had no previous experience in the field. Also they did not build up their involvement in the section which makes me believe they went into MMO publishing somply because MMOs were "in" these years and as the two big franchises promissed a quick buck. And not because they had a wider interest in it. At least that seems to be different with Pro7Sat1 as they really seem to want to push Sevengames to be a long-term platform and income basis.
At least give them the benefit of the doubt

They do have a dutch section on their website so I suppose that at least support will be available in dutch. (But of course I dont know for sure)

Blood and a number of suggestive costumes for female avatars all had to be changed or removed to comply with German law. This meant a huge number of EU players simply bought the US client, as the devs had not tied down their systems and if you went to the main game website and bought it, it automatically set you up with the north american client. So why did they even need the german middle man in the first place!?

I really don't want to get an in argument here so I leave it at that: your comment is based on wrong info on so many levels. Rest assured: this will not be a concern for PS2.
