January 2024, then what? October 2024? 10 months?

This is nothing. You should have played WoW from Wrath to Legion. Now those were long spans between patches.

If there's nothing holding your interest in this game until Dawntrail comes out, there are plenty of other games to play. Give some of them a try. You have YoshiP's blessing.

As someone who was still playing during the SoO drought... things here are a breeze.

You and me have been forged in the flames of boredom hell and this "drought" ain't nothing.

I honestly don't know, but their avoidance of using hats and helmets for newly released gear since 6.0 (correct me if I'm wrong) leads me to believe that they won't be fixing the limited headgear anytime soon.

The Moonfaire 2023 outfit gives me some hope, at least. I've also been hoarding my artifact helmets and hats.

I just hope they mention their plans soon, preferably before 7.0.

The grass I tell you.

Finally this game is fixed, now you cant tell people to stop complaining and to go touch grass anymore because there's enough grass in the game.

Talk about a revolution right there

Wrath of the Lich King: 13 November 2008

Legion: 29 August 2016

Those are the release dates for the launch of both expansions, one of which predates FFXIV's existence altogether and the other is roughly seven years ago. We're talking about FFXIV in the present day and recent years, with both Shadowbringers and Endwalker leading to many veteran players who are caught up on the MSQ's and side content finding themselves with very little to do.

Many posters with concerns relating to the current game already are taking breaks and playing other games. All of this has been explained many times already by the posters such statements are aimed at, though.

I love the argument of "X game did it worse" as if that makes it any better, always funny

If OP's prediction is true, then it arguably didn't do it worse. Siege of Orgrimmar was a full blown patch with a new raid with 10+ bosses and a whole new difficult. Certainly more content than 6.55. So instead of waiting 10 months, WoW waited for 13 months but got a real patch that released everything at once.

It gets worse comparing to previous expansions, Fall of the Lich King lasted a full year, but also a full blown new raid with new dungeons, too. And they released Ruby Sanctum in between, and the Duty Finder was born there iirc.

Hour of Twilight lasted roughly 10 months, with a 8 boss raid and 3 dungeons.

I haven't followed WoW for a long time, but after seeing these posts, they probably should take a page out of FFXIV's modus operandi and release things little by little instead of releasing everything at once.

Doubt it'll be October. Summer starts in June, which is still a while.

I'm not panicking, but I did rise an eyebrow...

They show that in the new trailer and it is laughable.

Yeah I only actively played WoW from launch to MoP but I know it definitely colored my tolerance toward patch timelines. We were waiting forever with just faction grinding to keep us busy if we could tolerate it and then nothing once we had finished that. WoW release schedules were their own meme.

To the OP, they already said expansion launch would be in the summer. And since it sounds like they're back on the normal schedule, it most likely be mid to late June for early access and then actual launch in early July. 6.55 will be late January they just said in the LL, so about 5 months give or take.
