This isn't Kickstarter, nor is this the proper enviroment to invest in a product to wait for a return at a later date.

We allready payed our dues in 1.0 to see the 2.0 release become a reality. SE is allready using the money we invested in the initial purchase and monthly fees to fund the release of 2.0 and beyond. Everything else is coming out of their pocket (We are unable to know how much money XIV made them at the initial launch but it's easy to speculate that due to the nature of MMO developement it wasn't enough to break even but at least soften the blow of the poorly received launch) Our continued funding into the following years as well couldn't have been running them at a net loss even with costs sky high due to work on 1.0 and 2.0 simultaniously chances are even when subs were low they were operating at a substantialy small loss.

We have allready givin them the oportunity to relaunch the game, it would speak volumes of how desperate they were if they asked us for (Even optionally) more money.
