How long it lasts after that, who knows, but as no new content, probably not that long.
Guess my XBox 360 disc will make a nice coaster.

I have bittersweet memories of FFXI. That same requirement for teamwork that forged friendships during leveling also proved to be a stumbling block for missions. The last thing I did in FFXI before fully commuting myself to XIV was finished CoP, and finally earn by coveted black belt. There are spots in FFXIV that still require teamwork, but at least those who can't get a team from their circle of friends can still get stuff done. EXP parties are just a matter of queueing for a dungeon. Despite all the ribbing they get, DRG of FFXIV have it better than the DRG of early XI.
