I disagree with this entirely.
I'd say less than 2% of mabi players even knew what the hell a hatsune miku was, most just assume she's an anime character of some sort they've never heard of, and of those who did know 80% didn't care and thought it was stupid and are only participating for rewards (free gold and xp for idling? Sure sign me up!), not out of interest in vocaloids. It certainly didn't bring in new players or bring players back to the game. The localization team didn't even bother keeping the Vocaloid name because it was virtually unrecognizable here.
It's not having what you want - It's wanting what you've got.
