    How many subscription bases MMORPGs do you know that are healthy and well?

    I know one: WoW, with... 7 millions? active subscribers.
    FFXIV has...unknown active subscribers. but given the media around it, it's more a niché-game at the end of the MMORPG-market.

    EU-Servers can be standart, but only if there are enough subscription to authorize such huge effort. All you do is demand, but you don't have a slightest idea how cost/income of SE looks like for FFXIV.

    PS: Before someone tries to smartass me: SE announced in April that they had 2 million users. Too bad that this means 2 million registered users, not active subscription! I doubt even half of those users have an active subscription. Most of them will be one-month'ers long gone, making FFXIV a game with probably less than a million active gamers. I just don't think the EU has somany players that they can demand an serverstructure on their own.
