Market trends and societal changes being what they are, it's no surprise FFXI has evolved into what it is today, but the numbers/testimonials on sites like FFXIAH and Reddit don't lie. Again, going back to an earlier post (the one with the Kanye meme), "You're comfortable where you are and see no reason to uproot yourself, which is fair enough, but when it comes to MMORPGs bigger is better."

All things being equal, if you go back to 2003 and see two ads for FFXI, one saying "Meet dozens of players from across the world" and another with an ad campaign saying "meet thousands of players from across the world" which one do you think would be more successful at drawing interest?
Uh that's fine. Those testimonials are great. Asura being the Reddit server is great. I don't disagree with that and nothing I've posted would go against that. But you're still trying to speak for every player and every situation when that's just not possible.
