So are we *ever* getting the planned list of Class/Ability changes?

even if they did, it wouldn't survive.
People playing now are so into the franchise they are playing because they want SE to succeed.(not because they are having the time of their lives), without the people on now SE will be gambling. Businesses do not like that.

Where is the link that says they will still go on even with 0 people playing?

The cat is being silly

At most no one pays they shut these servers down get everything ready for 2.0 and see how many come back and hope it works. I'm I silly sure the cat is almost always thought of as silly... but who knows its the simple fact that if everyone currently playing payed a sub fee they would not be making enough for current stuff plus the 2.0 stuff along with the GM/community reps and such people. So if you look at it that way they really don't need your money to get to 2.0 they need it for the here and now stuff.

Also still looking for the post I saw with something like this in... I'm pretty sure it was one of the many many interviews I read over the last month but who knows it may have never really been said and it could have been just something I took out of all those questions about starting up the billing.

When did I say 2.0, an online game without people playing it is a failure. A company won't keep the servers up. So again without the people they have now they will never get this product running.

except the "company" you're talking about doesn't JUST have XIV as its product. Not to mention its been stated by Wada that the entire company(all) not just XIV's branch is backing this project and helping them out.

SE is obviously not as strong as they once were(years ago) in terms of products being produced and creating revenue. BUT saying they can't survive till their second launch without, what? maybe 1-5ksubs(being sooooo generous with the numbers) is amazingly retarded.

Regardless if only a fraction of the current population pay from now to 2.0, the game will still bring in more people come 2012 Dec. The ps3 release will undoubtedly bring in JP players even if its a small %, and at the same time china will be getting XIV as well. So another region will be opening up. XIV will be okay
