Why Sony closed MxO and will it be revived as free to play some day?

[parapsycho]

Unfortunately, MxO was shut down shortly before the Free to Play business model was proven to be a viable alternative to being 100% subscription-based. Outside of the Asian market, F2P games didn't really start becoming a thing until 2010. MxO shut down in 2009.

SOE didn't really care about the game then, and they don't seem to care about it now. So, the odds of them bringing it back are pretty much zero. There weren't even 100K people playing it when it was live. The population of the game was around 500 active players when it was shut down, so getting a massive amount of signatures isn't really feasible.
