Even Rift is starting to lose it's luster with many. Tera has begun to lost it's luster with the korean base which is why they're hoping it does well elsewhere or it's game over. They can't even break even currently.

So there's "too many good MMOs" coming out but it does nothing if it doesn't pertain to your particular preference. Lots of people want to play a FF MMO and hope XIV recovers, most want to play generic clone B because it's new.

Rift's success was because it was a generic clone that took concepts from XI and many other MMOs just like WoW did at the time - It's nothing new or unique.
