MMO's have survived with just 3,000-4,000 subscribers. Considering FFXI has many times more than that, it will be around for a long time.

Read the last alla interview.
Another subset of players still has been waiting for another epic storyline, akin to Wings of the Goddess or Treasures of Aht Urghan. Regarding the next addition to the game, Tanaka states "The major concept of Abyssea was an add-on focused on battle. The add-ons before that had content that focused on story scenarios. For the next version of content, we are considering a new style -- something different from both of these."

FFXI had 300k players in 2010
Hmm atm im bet we have 90 - 130k players
130k x 12 dolars = 1,560,000 Milions per month <3 and we only receive revamped areas awww well! With the money FFXI generate per month we deserve as minimiun 50 people working here.
Even with 3 servers working 30k of players we can pay for the 9 - 13 people working in FFXI ^^
Taking off the salary dev team
Taking off the electric power the Servers consume per month
The devs are atm in "Auto pilot mode" Making a lot of money without serious efforts.
