It would most likely cost them a lot of money. And if it does not work, it could possibly spell the end for ffxi. I would also like to throw out there that they were losing players while the cap was still at 75. Which is why they did a server merge. I believe they did the server merge on the exact update that Abyssea and level 80 cap was introduced.

Now, a little off topic here, but this is directed towards Jblauh. I honestly can't believe you have the nerve to call someone else in these forums an idiot or an asshole when you seem like the biggest one of them all (which also makes you a hypocrite). Let me ask you, does it make you feel like a big man to threaten people left and right to kick there ass over the internet. See there is a name for something like that. It is called "Cyber Bullying." You should look it up. Keep in mind I am not trying to start something with you. You may not even realize what you are doing, but I figured I would point it out.
I have considered the impact and I think it would be minimal if done smartly. I've already suggested the idea that, considering pops on current servers are small that they do a merge and use one of the servers people were merged out of to make this classic server. So there would be no added server costs, just the time it takes to set up the server which could vary a bit but I don't think its something that SE can't handle even if the project were a failure which I don't think it will be.

Your second paragraph... not helping, don't pick a fight.
