That's the reason I proposed this thread Grandmom. I, as well as many, have heard rumors etc. that have stated things that allude to the end of their attention towards FFXI.
Yes, it makes money, but that doesn't mean that SE won't leave it as it is and just sit and collect. There is more than enough content from the current expansions to keep people occupied for a long time so it is always a possibility that they could change their focus on FFXI to a maintenance standpoint.
As easy as it is possible to be left alone though I feel there is just as much room for expansion. Definitely a topic that is is interesting to see what people think.
