Well I went to my "sources" and searched them for what I remember reading about the possibility of FFXI ending and then consulted the individuals that I had spoken with on the subject.
Every link that I had and everything that they could produce came up with the same answers. Only things I have are rumors. So defeated I apologize, but from the strong conversations that I have had with the peeps regarding the rumors I had thought there was some factual base to them.
Most of the FFXI ending things I had seen in black and white had "FFXI needs to die" sentiments soon after the "rumor".

Regardless of which, I still feel it is a subject worth discussing and is interesting to imagine what things will be added in future expansions.
Again, I apologize for taking things I thought to be more factual than rumor as just that. Now on to more fun discussions and less unfun commentary. ^^
