I've been playing FFXI on and off for the last 7 years. I love the game but lets face it... nothing lasts forever. I've come back to it after an 8 month hiatus but it makes me wonder how much time do we have left? It seems like there are fewer and fewer players every time I come back... and we're bout to hit the 99 (100) level cap, have had two server mergers in 1 year and are approaching the 10th anniversary do you think they will keep us up long after that?

I'm not trying to sound negative, I still love this game, I am just worried if I should stay in or not. Also if it is worth bringing a friend in.
