    Also some of you that are posting don't even play the game, nor have you for quite some time.
    I already said a few months ago that I would pay full monthly subs just to watch Nashmeira Trust do her boxing animations, with her arms waggling around as she tries to avoid looking at the scary monster.
    I would pay the subs just to sit there watching her boxing, it is the funniest thing I have ever seen in my life. The fact I get to see her arm-waggling animations, plus the rest of Vana'diel all included in the subs, is more than enough for me. But I would pay subs just to watch her boxing, seriously.

    Yes but you paying the sub for 100 years would not keep the game open, they need minimum player numbers to do that. Majority won't pay just do look at their characters.

    I understand that I can't single-handedly keep FFXI Online in profit. Also I don't just look at the trusts, I go fishing and pwn mobs and make my automaton do amusing dances.

    I think you underestimate the loyalty of the core FFXI fanbase, be they Japanese or EU or US or whatever. There are a lot of people who love FFXI and will sub it until the very end. We have seen a lot of games come and go since FFXI arrived, a lot of games rose and fell, while Vana'diel remained online.

    Nobody is doubting that the overall population has declined, and this is natural. What is not natural, is the fact that this groundbreaking computergame has survived, flourished and improved in so many ways, over so many years. When the history books are written, FFXI will be in those books, as a truly pioneering game that really did explore uncharted seas, remained afloat in wild and turbulent storms, and retained such a loyal core playerbase throughout the journey.

    We can't change the past, or make PS2 devkits grow on trees, or un-ooops some of the big ooops that were made. We are where we are today, and FFXI, like life, is not forever. Should we enjoy FFXI now, and enjoy our lives, or should we hang around being gloomy and talking about inevitable death. Personally, I love computergames, and tabletop roleplaying, and life in general. I wish to be enthusiastic, until the very end!

    I will continue to play this awesome computergame for as long as it is available to play, and I am always happy to pay subs for such a high-quality gaming experience.
