I'd like to see them take a cue from something like Volition's Freespace. You could set yourself up to be the host and people coud run missions off your machine. Granted, this was instanced battlefields and not full scale real-time environment like FFXI, but it would be nice if something like that could be done when they do finally go offline. At least then you could give out IP's to friends and such and still run events and what not for shits and giggles.
