ProjectXI isn't nearly there yet. Come back in a year, and we'll probably have the same answer, but just maybe...

I wonder what will happen when this game really starts to go south...

Will they keep open just a few servers or is there like, a cut-off point where they will just tell everyone, "Thanks for your hard work and money, but we're deleting everything. Goodbye!"

As long as they're making money they'll keep going. When they start to lose money, they'll cancel.

Yeah, but what point would that be... how many players you think?

Impossible to say, many people would have to quit, you'd need to factor in server upkeep costs, GM wage costs, etc. Obviously fewer players =fewer GMs, plus they could combine servers if populations dip too much. Don't think we'll see the death of this game for quite some time, just look at EQ1.
