In terms of investment, I actually agree with the way SOE is handling things. The quickest way to kill this game would be to make a major investment and get no return. Sure, I would like to see content and changes happen sooner rather than later, but I don't think pouring more cash in is the right thing for this game. WBIE took its shot at making this the biggest MMO ever, and for various reasons, it just didn't pan out. When something like that happens, it's good to refocus and get down to bare-bones. That gives the game the best chance of continuing while trying to build a following.
As far as getting the game reviewed again, most game mags/sites won't do that, but they will review an expansion pack, which gives them a chance to talk about all the improvements in the game. SWG got mediocre reviews like MxO, but the Jump to Lightspeed expansion seemed to fair better, and at the very least got reviewers to look at the game again. Unfortunately, it appears that isn't going to happen anytime soon for MxO.
