You do realize that by not charging subscribers for the month of April they are losing -at least- $647,500 per 50k people still active. That's not even including mules..It wouldn't cost millions but wouldn't be cheap either. Say they run on generators with cost of fuel today and they would need several generators. Because its not just FFXI servers its POL and FFXIV aswell then on top of that you have the cooling systems to keep all servers cool then all support computers. Its just not cost effective cheaper for them to just shutdown and wait it out.
