It sounds like you don’t play the game.
Sometimes my queue is over 100 players, and sometimes I can log right in.
It’s definitely not the same.

When I first played New World, my instinct was to go against my moral code and say it has a problem and refund it. It seemed a stupid game. I let it sit and played sometimes, to see if it got to me eventually. Some days I delved deep in it to see if it got to me eventually.
To this day, I regret not having refunded. New World has never had anything of importance. It seemed like one of those thousands of games in Steam that are carbon copies of each other. New World being somewhat more polished. Like if it had some money put in it the others did not. Garbage still.

I have 8/8 characters on Mateus.
All of them are sprouts. I’m the type of player that only plays one class/spec per character…so I’m hoping Endwalker increases that limit, since I want a Reaper.

Only WoW will kill itself. Pretty much Blizzard is the WoW Killer at this point.
Most Games have overshadowed WoW but didn’t kill it.

The only thing wrong with that is the way you wrote it, it seems you think it is YET to happen.

I have tried it. This is the truth about how their logins work. If you login at 3am, you would have a queue wait of 20 a players. If you login in during prime time, you’d still have the same queue time of 20 players in line. This is a login server queue not a server capacity queue. Having the exact same queue times at 3am and 6pm on a weekday makes no sense.

They literally have said more than once that they want people to play other games and not feel like they need to log into FF14 every day or risk falling behind. Like WoW. They have a different approach. Make really good content and a compelling story to make people want to experience it every patch (which aren’t every 9 months lul) instead of making really grindy content so people feel obligated to log in and do their chores every day or risk falling behind.
The most I ever played WoW was when it was the least “needy.” When I can log on and spam BGs on several alts without getting one-shot by a sideways glance, the game is more fun for me.
Used to be that FF14 was my PvE game and WoW was my PvP game, but WoW killed PvP for me, so now it’s my forums game. Usually interesting here.

That is something WoW players in the WoW bucket cant understand.
It is like saying “let them free, if they come back, you are doing right”.
It is not a “nice thing” they do, it is a passive aggressive challenge, meaning they know people will come back, and that WoW does what it does because they know if people go play something else sure that they wont lose anything, they will eventually see WoW for what it is now: a Sisyphus rock.

I have tried FFXIV a total of three times and I keep uninstalling it. The two first time was during ARR but people kept telling me it gets so much better once I hit Heavensward so I decided to give it another try. Well… I made it to the end and it never felt better for me. So I uninstalled… now I’m being told it will get better if I keep going, but I don’t know. I’m starting to wonder if my friends are secretly paid recruiters because it just isn’t happening for me despite their “keep going, it’s about to be good now!” efforts 
I think no matter where or I go or what I try, I’ll always come back to WoW because for me there just isn’t anything that can rival it. Even when it’s limping along.

There’s no game out there that will be for everyone. Don’t feel bad if it’s not your thing. For me that’s mostly how I feel about WoW. I pay my sub because I like raiding with my friends, but otherwise the game just doesn’t appeal to me. I liked it in Legion when I started, but it’s just been getting more and more awful for me since then.
I’m a story focused, craft loving, housing decorating carebear, so FF14 was more my style. Having played many MMOs before I tried WoW, WoW always just felt empty to me feature wise. Sure the raids are fun, but I miss having just fun little things to do around the world that are not tied to fighting or player power, or yet another system we need to grind out.
Again though, as I said, no MMO will be for everyone. They’re all games. Play what you like and don’t feel bad about preferring one or the other.
Lol you were hoping for a big ratio second comment and instead got completely ignored. Cool. Hahaha.
If I wanted to farm likes I’d be leaning into the negativity, telling angry folks what they want to hear.
I know, such a fool I am to leave valuable hearts on the table.
Mosey back to tweeter.
It is funny how people understand that leaning into the masses and what they doing leads to disaster, and nevertheless, they think the solution to wow is exactly to Blizzard to lean to the masses and acquit every atrocious suggestion you see in this forums.

Apparently Amazon may be working on a new Everquest project with the Unreal Engine
They are - and Hazzikostas is to blame for this. Oblivious to the problems, living in his own bubble and unfit to rule the throne. In a Game of Thrones episode he wouldn’t last one single season.
Just take it as a lesson. The MMO industry is filled with these type of cases where a new game comes around and people get hyped, but in reality it doesn’t actually bring anything new to the table.
Ideally, learn how to wait for new games to mature, just to see if they fix the major issues, and if there’s cheaper ways to access the game until you’re confident you want to make a long-term time investment.

I think the boom taught me to be pretty wary of new MMOs, that magical time in the 00’s when it seemed like every big upcoming title was an MMO yet today they’re long gone.
It’s too bad cause a bunch of them did have potential and even inspired some modern features but it’s just a very very tricky genre to get right. Especially now when people will datamine and plan out the 100% optimal route thru any content day uno.

Fair warning: As I said before, I am a binary man, so I speak like one.
This is like when you are in college, that girl you know, it is your friend, she is super cool and you know she is trouble because she candidly talk to you what she does and what she feels. And you are aware she breaks hearts like morning bread, but she is cute, and the minute she tells you she is available and since we are friends, this will be “friendly thing”. And you end up heart broken.
Well, sometimes we know what we doing, but we also think we are better than to break our hearts over certain doom. But doomed we are.
WoW was like this one. Now it is like a middle age relation in which you are in mostly for the life you had with that person than the life you are having. Not that it is bad, but it is one too many “been there done that”. If both are not there to break the monotony, might as well go separate ways, no harm done.

Pretty sure FF killed WoW like 8 years ago, how is it WoW is still here?
