It's not like its closing forever, they need to apparently work out a lot of kinks so its for the best. Besides, it was still in its beta stages to locate all these problems anyway. It will be back in roughly 6-8 months so until then, we'll just have to wait and hope for the best I suppose.
What I read in that article from the link Light posted, the game may become more of an regular MMO-style character progression type. How the game will change in the coming months overall, we'll just have to wait and see.
