My main point is that FF11 got easier over time and then they decided to make it even easier for 14. There's a reason for that and people claiming "This will kill the game." I don't think so.
Yeah I never claimed FF11 tanked SE. The subs for FF11 didn't touch that of WoW's because many people felt FF11 was for hardcore people only. Even if FF11 had 200,000 subs that's not alot.. I know what costs are involved in running a large scale computing environment as I do it for a living as a Sr Systems Engineer. It could easily break a company if they aren't pulling in enough money to cover the costs with a data center that size.
