All the ingredients to make an artificially capped enviroment are right here, with all of today's QoL improvements.

All you need is a group of reliable people that want to start a legacy group with you.
This exists among all MMOs, yet people don't do it unless their has been a progression servers made. This has been discussed to death in the several threads that always come up for this,

Back on topic

If we were to compare the demand to not demand based off the people that view this forums, just look at earlier threads. There has always been a higher demand for these servers than not, if you were to base it off these forums. Which any intelligent person would know is not a majority view of the playerbase at all, let alone a view for the people who don't even play the game anymore.

Take a minute and go through that pages and pages of threads there of people who haven't even been to their forums for like 13 years who just discovered their TLP. If you think these forums is any indication of demand or not demand, you guys are sorely mistaken.

The only thing you can really base the success of your product off is the success of other companies doing similar stuff. You can't use WoW clones as an example of it failing, because it isn't similar, this is still an FFXI product. Doing a progression server has worked for any MMO I've ever seen do it. Maybe there is some out there it hasn't worked for, but I haven't seen it. Also like many users have pointed out, there is a high demand for it on places we aren't suppose to talk about, and if any of you have taken a statistics class, that is more than enough sample size to support the idea.
