Blizzard is not SE....and its certainly not CCP (EVE Online).

And Last i checked...Blizzard has their systems broken down by region. EVE Online (CCP) is a single shard universe and that means everyone is on one server (Not sure if the are still doing their Chinese mirror experiment however).

Bottom line - FFXIV is not the same topology/layout/tech.

So you can't say "will this game can do it so why not this one" because its not the same..not by a long shot.
Architecture/code/methodology are entirely different.

If they where the same - they'd be not restricted by patents etc.
Just cause it looks simple - doesn't mean it is.
