See, that is where my confusion is. Where are people saying it is 'INDEFINITELY' closed? SE didn't say that. They said it was 'Transfers to the following Worlds will be suspended until their active player populations have stabilized.'

Why? Because anyone who has ever been around for a game launch or Xpac release knows everyone comes back to play and rushes on all at once to try and do what they can. After like 2-3 months people then go back to their way of life and hop back to the game they were originally playing. Happened in Heavensward, Happened with Legion, will happen with Stormblood as well. I mean, does no one remember the 500+ queue times to log in for the first month of Heavensward? Now we're back to the normal 10-20 queue during peak hours.

They will open it back up. Just not until after Xpac.
