Still, they aren't going to break their budget just so all of us can play. As long as there are enough of us left here to meet their original expectations, SE is perfectly happy.

Japan was the only place ARR had to do really well. Thats why Japan's servers have as many resources as our own, despite NA/EU accounting for more players. We are just a bonus, and as long as enough of us keep playing, SE will turn the profit they expected. Long story short, they aren't really doing *everything* they can. Budget says this is all we get to work with. Thats why we're getting server optimizations instead of more servers and free transfers. They can do that til the cows come home, its just flat out not enough resources. Will they spend for more? I doubt it.
