And no amount of money will help if its as bad as I suspect. You just need a new game.
A new game that'd have an outdated infrastructure in about 10 years later? Whether you like it or not, WoW is a prime example of an old game based on an older engine but has skilled devs (Tech-wise) that managed to keep it in a better shape than FFXIV, even though the latter came out almost 10 years after the release of the former.

It's not a game issue. It's a dev & management issue that needs to be addressed.
