Between FFXI and XIV? XIV.

Which game has more players? GW2, WoW, Lineage II, Blade & Soul, FFXIV or TERA? What about the games that actually brought something to the genre? Actually did more than try to do as little as possible because the game's servers would crash quite easily if they do specific things like increase our inventory slots?

By the by, SE announced DQX+FFXI+FFXIV = about 1 million active subs combined. I guarantee most Korean/Chinese MMOs has way more than that, combining would blow XIV out of the water, and they actually introduce more systems and try to do something other than the same cycle they did the same 2 years to boot.

Meaning, unless there was a dramatic increase in subscibers to either game (definitely not XIV, even with HW because there was also a 5 month lull in content addition after, which tons of people left) it doesn't matter how many play XIV or XI, when there's MMOs out there that has 1+m in itself.

If your point was "which is better", neither XIV nor XI.

"Subscriber numbers don't count/mean that much!"

In XIV's case, certainly not. I like the game as it is, but it's an MMO that makes money doing nothing, there's no reason for them to ever evolve it.

Quite frankly...if XIV actually added content and..did something new, it'd be a great MMO - But it's an mmo built around people who don't play the game and people who may potentially play the game a year from now, rather than people who currently play the game.
