There's a lot of work that goes into setting up physical servers and getting them ready to work with your product. And getting space for those servers to exist in. And hiring staff to maintain them.

That's why services like AWS have kind of been blowing up the way tech infrastructure works, because for a price it provides a way to avoid all of that hassle. And I feel like it's a very safe assumption to make that FF14 isn't using any similar service, because if they were then you're right, getting additional server resources would be only slightly trickier than writing a "Hello World" application.

Might be a lot of work but that's literally their job. SE is not some small indie studio that can't afford to rent more servers and hire more staff. This game is their biggest cash cow and they would do well to actually take care of it instead of doing the bare minimum.

This is my own opinion and people are free to disagree with me here cause I'm actually not super knowledgeable on this area, but does the 14 team actually get to decide what happens financially to the game or is it upper management? Ultimately if its the latter then what should be done doesn't really matter if they want the money going somewhere else.
