    There are official events (Global Events) scheduled out to at least April 2020. Of course I don't know for real, but my speculation would be they will keep it going at least until the 5 year anniversary of its release (March 2016) unless player numbers just get too low. I further guess that they probably re-purpose different servers to use for other games as the loads drop on this one.

    I don't see any reason to close servers.

    I wonder if Ubisoft (or any other publisher for that matter) ever shut down a big title in the past? I can't recall any example.

    Nothing is stopping you from not playing the game and moving on. I myself play it everyday about an hour or so. I hope they keep it going for another year or more.

    Dude, Destiny 1 servers are still up and running, as long as there are players playing it or company doesn't go bust, they will keep servers online, bad PR and loss in consumer trust by shutting down the server so soon would do more damage than server costs for sub 5k player base.

    Quite a few games that were big in their time have had the back end shutdown with varying results from completely being dead like CIty of Heroes until someone got hold of the full source code through to stuff like Test Drive Unlimited where the online part has been shut down but you can still play offline.

    Have to say I never ever purchase a game again from a developer/publisher that completely kills off their game (so it can't be played at all) without an effort to support the community - whether that is releasing a private server package or some kind of offline mode once the game is sunset and/or at least putting the back end source code out so that individuals can get something working for the community, etc. etc.

    What bugs me a bit is that there is so much life still potentially in TD1 - so many assets that are well produced/designed but feature once in the game and could easily be reused in a variety of interesting ways, large areas of the city that you barely have a reason to interact with that could be locations for interesting side mission arcs, etc. even little things like releasing say a set of "legendary" weapons even if they are just variants of existing weapons with a built in PVE bonus that drop randomly from the bosses in legendary difficulty, etc. when certain conditions are met such as completing it without team wipe etc. - you could easily make a (paid not free) DLC with a 100 hours of interesting content just reusing existing assets and a relatively small amount of programming though maybe I'm alone in being happy to pay a reasonable amount for something like that.

    That's what I had said after the disappointing release of TD2. All they had to do is continue the 1.8.3 version of the game. Add a couple of new items, introduce a new faction, etc and like you said, that could easily be another 100 hours.
    I liked this game so much that I bought a second copy so I could play it through from the beginning since it had been a couple of years or more since I had played the early content. So, between the two, I have ~3k hours. In TD2, I have ~55.

    I have heard no plans of shutting The Division servers down, they keep running as we know many still enjoy playing it and participate in regular Global Events

    In terms of new content for it I haven't heard anything about that, but I can certainly pass on the suggestions given by you here.
