I think AV/blizz should take notes from the osrs team. I had hoped this (expansion) would be a turn around for the wow team but nah…typical…
OSRS DEVS:
-They let the community VOTE, Leveling 70-75 feel too fast? Let the COMMUNITY deicide.
-They work on an old engine which hasn’t had the millions poored into like wow has. AND still manage make new content all the time.
-They inform the players of content NOT out and let them see if they’ll like it our not.
I know its like comparing oranges to apples. But any top 10 MMO video will have the two facing off. FF14 aside (#1 most of the time) osrs usually lands at #2… Why cant wow!!!
As a player of both WoW and FF14 this take couldn’t be more wrong. FF14 always feels alive and full of people. Something WoW has lacked for the last few years. The raid content in FF14 is far more appealing than WoW’s to me. The only thing WoW beats it on and I do mean the ONLY thing is PvP.
It is the #1 most played MMO right now for a reason, whether you like that fact or not. Facts are facts.
You are completely delusional if you think OSRS is better than this game. Their game is bot infested with about 50% of accounts being bots, most real people play with 2-4 accounts at the same exact time, there’s virtually no real endgame as they’ve pretty much exhausted all of their ideas for the game and the ‘endgame content’ is just grinding same bosses 3000+ times for a pet or collection log.
Please don’t glorify a game you know very little about. It’s not good.
Just curious, why is it required that a game feels “alive” and “full of people”? Nothing worse IMO going through a questing zone or area and seeing 40+ people in clown or polar bear costumes ruining the immersion. I don’t mean this in a rude way at all so please understand that, but if you need tons of people you don’t even talk to in order to enjoy a game, you might be lonely and in need of some social interaction irl. Elder Scrolls Online has drastically less people, and it’s so enjoyable. Every zone is empty and feels like a vast open world because of that
You can clearly see which one is more popular by comparing different publicly available metrics. FF14 has a much much wider global appeal. Dawntrail was reported to have the largest number of players ever, and we already knew that FF14 surpassed WoW at some point in Endwalker. WoW has just regressed since then.
