The only hardcore mmo out there right now is EVE, which is waaaay over my head and a little late for me to start it up now. As others have said, you don't need 1mil subs to be a success, why not make a game for those few 100k player. Eve has what like 300k or so? They are doing just fine, FFXI did great. You don't need millions of people to make a profit.

If they just turned this into FFXI-2 you would have at least 300k players.
Arbitary statistics you just made up mean nothing. Besides those would be the same people who are already paying SE subs for an online game so where is the business sense in that!?
No, SE is a business not a charity for people such as yourself, you loose. Game over.
