I appreciate that they didn’t kill the game. If people are still paying for it, and presumably making even a little profit, it’s probably not that hard to keep it running.

Too, I don’t really know how I’ll feel if/when FFXIV ever shuts down. I have had a character now since 2.0, and I would be very sad to see them go. I imagine it’s the same for some folks who have been playing 11 for 20 years.
