If those numbers are accurate, then NA/EU comprises almost precisely 2/3 of the entire FF14 population.

You came off a bit high and mighty, have you made an MMO? 500k is very good. Releasing an MMO with so many others established and to do this well, its amazing to get this many. with more then 100 MMORPG's to choose from it would be wrong to compare it to the stagnant MMO Giants of the past, who were competing against 4 other MMO's. This is a very huge success, Enough so to warrant the spending of the likely several million it cost to increase datacenters

It is going to take them a couple years to just get a return on there investment into the game.
