Who is the server made for now?

We have lots of content, but it's tough to expect to play for literally hundreds if not thousands of hours and not get bored of something.

PvE content is tough. For the number of hours people seem to expect to play, we'd basically need the variety of something like a roguelike. And it's counter productive to make good PvE content when this game, even on classic, is a roleplaying game and is at its strongest when people are interacting and weakest when people are hiding in their departments.

As for departments not working together, that's more a cultural issue. On RP, departments do work together and supply one another but somebody has to get that other department's attention and getting folks working together. I doubt it'd be too hard to make a research system, but I also think people would hate anything in any department being locked behind the efforts of another. Culture, again. People already favor maps with lots and lots of tools and equipment available to the general public, even though reducing those would be one of the easiest ways to make departments work together.
