It would look successful, and we'd be having more fun by virtue of it would be up to the old playercount. Consider the motivations; we mostly want this game to be fun. The halcyon days of Papa Unixmad paying the rent for us all are gone, but that doesn't mean we can't miss them. Regardless of whether it's our place or not.
Here's my thing - what happens if he opens ONE server (and as always I say Classic, but it's negotiable) to the Free Trials/Stops saving after 1 month system? It'll either do better or worse, and he can always switch it back if it does worse.
