    So, to clear things up:

    FFXIV - extremely large dev crew for 30,000 customers.

    FFXI - extremely small dev crew for 300,000 customers.


    As we all can see, the most popular of the two clearly has the commanding lead in developer suppor-

    FFXI doesn't need anything but content here and there. It's 10 years old.

    FFXIV needs foundation work and content.

    Which of the two needs more attention?

    Chocies....Choices....

    Pretty sure there's not enough players for XI nor development cost to justify a release of real expansion packs.

    Remember, EQ is old but their new expansion packs are basically the sizes of DLC type content, which is what FFXI is technically moved into. Your fellow gamers have proven they want the DLC type system for all games or else they wouldn't have been buying DLC developers released.

    The one that's actually making money.

    MMOs with less subscribers than FFXI still get expansions. FFXI's subscription base is still respectable for a non WoW MMO.
