servers way more empty now? Still doing the linear gear climb?

SE probably trying to get everyone up to the top so they can end game and transition all ffxi players to 14.

played it, dont wanna play another WoW clone. If they had kept the core of what 1.23 ended on the old 14, it would have been amazing and i would have never looked back, but instead they threw it all out to "meet the standard" which they even said they got by talking to blizz devs, so its no surprise its like EVERYTHING else out there.

FFXIV is a wow clone period, it's just a clone that doesn't have every good aspect from wow, still a clone.

There are more wow clone on the market than EQ clone, we don't need anymore, don't need FFXI to become one.

and i have played EQ before, though there are some parts that are very much the same, there is a good chunk that is different (and i know they said they used it as their base) but 14 is a flat out copy in almost every way, not just WoW but of all the WoW like games and their slight changes from that (like fates basically being rifts/gw2 events but crappier)

And like the person i quoted said, there are TONS of WoW clones and most have failed or barely hang on over all these years, FFXI was one of a few EQ clones and they did it when the game was still early in its life (and early in the genre in general).

Dont be shocked when in 6months to a year tons of the 14 servers are merged or they bite the bullet and go F2P (they are copying all the other "standards" so im sure they would be up for one more?
