At this point Blizzard need a plan on what to do after Classic WOTLK.

Maybe this might lead to change at Actiblizz office.

Why when I click the link it says WoW has 3.29 million daily players and WoW classic separately has 1.46 million daily players.
And FF has 2.5 million.
Of course these are all very subjective, but Iâm not sure how 3.29 million is less than 2.50 million?
Says FF at 2.50 million.
Says WoW at 3.29 million
Says WoW classic at 1.46 million.
Is the site trolling or what?

Tâis the beginning of a new era. World of Warcraft has maintained MMORPG dominance since Release Days 2004 and now that is over. The deceased King Terenas Menethil said it best, no king rules forever, my son.

Interesting. Yeah, WoW is still on top, but Iâm honestly somewhat surprised at how the gap keeps closing. WoW is going to have to figure their redacted out or theyâre just going to end up as one of many instead of the King.
They need to go back to charging game time a few hours at a time in Asia and keep calling each one a âsubâ in the quarterly reports.
Pump those numbers back up. Thatâs what old Blizzard did.

Hey! YOU got your hogwash all over my balderdash.
Hey! Theyâre two great tastes that taste great together.
I do look forward to a true WoW replacement. FFXIV just does not cut it for me.
Imma hope n dream

I couldnât get into FFXIV but will probably give it another try some time in the next year. The current direction that retail WoW is going isnât enjoyable for me either though. Mainly the constant screwing up of classes/specs. Tired of having to relearn or abandon a fun class/spec each new expansion and classes being reliant on rented powers to feel complete.
But, if FFXIV is the new King then I can tell you it is because WoW has not been keeping up itâs throne. There must be more players out there not happy with this expansion then just me and possibly not happy with the downward tread over the past couple of expansions like me also. Plus, on top of that Iâve seen complaints about a content drought so once the next patch hits WoW will probably take the throne back.
The question is, how long can WoW continue to not appeal to players with each new expansion or increase itâs content droughts before those players donât return and make another game like FFXIV the actual King. . . for good?
All I see is that WoW is falling short for some loyal players and it is forcing them to look to other games for the enjoyment they use to get from WoW. If they are like me that means they will switch their loyalties to that game. Some may go all in and abandon WoW for good while others will stick with it till either the game doesnât bring them enjoyment anymore or WoW turns in a direction those former players could find enjoyment from again.
The throne has been and always will be WoWâs to lose. Do they want it though?
To each their own.

FF is an amazing complete MMORPG right now. AAA title that is worth the praise.

So then does it become balderwash? Or hogdash?
Thatâs not really much of a big deal over there, so it doesnât really add anything new. Yoshi P actually encourages people to put it down and try other games and come back when they want to. Itâs a very different philosophy, basically he wants people to enjoy the content, not play continuously and get burnt out.
Took me a bit to get my head around, but I dig it.

This is the same thing happening to retail, to be fair. Although the main cities are seemingly never empty in FFXIV, at least not on Famfrit. I find the craziest stuff in Limsa Lominsa. I hear thereâs a similar experience on Moonguard in retail though (not the weird ERP stuff).
I rolled an ally over there to check it out, but out of the three games I play (FFXIV, Classic, and Shadowlands) I have the least amount of drive to level in or play Shadowlands.
But all this shows is that FFXIV is a good game, too. Iâm sure that the activity numbers will favor Shadowlands if/when 9.1 drops. But I also wager that itâll go back to favor FFXIV when Endbringers arrives in the fall, especially since we have no Blizzcon to hype the game up.
Iâm happy more people are giving FFXIV a go though. Itâs a really good RPG and their monk class is my absolute favorite thing to play right now. But FFXIVâs greatness doesnât mean anything about WoW, since theyâre vastly different games.
Also, FFXIV attracts younger players better, it seems.

FF has a great design direction. It reminds me of old school MMORPG mixed in with new school MMORPG.
