Did they? I've been hearing about ongoing server stability problems. Also, different MMO,, different needs.

They have been throwing new servers at it.

FFXIV is opening an entire new datacenter at the launch of Endwalker, so they probably aren't in any hurry since most of the English players on the JP DC will probably be moving to that.

It would just function better. Provided the caveat that they refuse to allow free transfers. That would be the more optimal option. it's wasteful to even leave 8 of the 16 servers open. There are good reasons to want to be on those 8 servers. But that's not the point.
