Merge the servers, and kill the game in the gaming comunity.

@ Kat and Zanfire,

Who are these Investors you keep siting?

Final Fantasies are created and funded soley by SE. SE didn't lobby people with deep pockets to fund this game. They paid for it themselves.

A single games failure won;t make or break SE. They are a HUGE HUGE HUGE company.

This might be a bad analogy but SE is like Toyota.

If Toyota made only 1 type of car and that car was a bust, it's over for toyota.
But Toyota makes many different types of cars. Sedans, sports cars, Luxuray cars, Minivans, coupes, ect ect.

If SE made soley MMO games, XIV would have been a nail in the coffin.
But SE makes a lot of games, and owns a lot of game studios.

Toyota has put out some crappy cars they are still making cars.

SE has put out some crappy games, they are still making games.

Now, to focus on XIV. This MMO is created and funded by SE exclusively. This dev team only answers to the chairmen of SE they don't have to have quarterly meetings with vested interests. I read all over the internet, especially with MMO games about stock values and investors. It's a bunch of hyperbole. SE is a publicly traded company their stock will fluctuate over time. You will see a small surge in value before a huge game is released, and then a decline after. But it's no indication of how 1 paticular game is doing. Unless said compnay exclusively creates MMOs. Which SE doesn't.

So a long story short:

SE is investing in themselves. There are no outside vestors who are dictating the funding of the game. Find yourself a different avenue to approach when you state merges are bad financially for this game.
