A message from Square-Enix:
We are shutting FFXI's servers down as of <insert date here>. Our player base has dropped dramatically over the past years. We wish we could have stayed with you for a while longer but new players have lost interest in the game due to reasons beyond our understanding.

*IN SE headquarters:

SE admin #1: DAMN IT! How did our game die so fast?
SE admin #2:Well, sir....there were many threads in the forums stating that our expantion called Abyssea was to blame for new players leaving no sooner they joined....
SE admin #1:......ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!
SE admin #2: No sir.....
SE admin #1:FFFFFFFFFUUUUUCK!
You don't seem to understand that you represent the minority. We have given you options that keep everyone happy. You have given options that will inconvenience the majority in the name of some arbitrary concept of difficulty and what this game is about.
