    If the mobile version is a success *and* if it runs on the same servers as the PC version I imagine they'd change their minds about no new content updates. They might decide to drop the PC native version at that point. But porting the Android version to the PC would be a relatively simple matter. Commercial tools for compiling PC versions of Android apps already exist and with a completely rewritten engine for a native Android version porting to different platforms would be much simpler than with the mess of spaghetti code they have now.

    I would never play a mobile version of the game (Heck, I have a Windows tablet and the game runs fine on that), but the odds decent are good people in Japan might. If they get a meaningful number of players from it, it could change things. Don't hold your breath though.

    I was thinking this too. It's not unheard of for a small indie company to change its mind and put out more updates, but a corporation with multiple other MMOs...

    That is truly a pipe dream. If any new content continues after Nov, it will be private servers

I play on 360 and if Nov is the last of the last then I won't even need them to boot me offline by March 2016 when they kill off support for my platform. I would be already long gone by then with little to do that meant anything beyond nastalgia.
    Yeah but this is nothing new. Having played since ps2, i can't tell ya how many i've seen log on day of update, burn thru a few missions and latest gimmick, then disappear till the next update...then just cancel sub for good when it became clear the updates can't keep up with their progress. Nov-March was until SoA a typical update cycle. I mean this right here is why we've gone from 500k subs to 80k ish. If you ask me, the devs determined they can't keep this pace of monthly updates with the limited budget they have

    Even with all the content added since lv75, it's possible to make a new char and max out on all but mythics in 3-4 months or less. For the most part, people who won't accomplish this before november play sparingly or avoid endgame
