With the announcement of the new WoW expansion release date, many players are unsubscribing, mostly because it has been over a year since the last content update and they now have to wait ANOTHER 3 months.

Now would be a good time to advertise just how often content is added here, just saying.

Oh, you were talking about the WoW update, I think. Nevermind.

If memory serves me correctly, WoW hasn't had a update (or at least a substantial one) in about 13 months.

Which also explains why XIV ARR actually did pretty well, that's one thing that worked in its favor.

I know this is just bait, but credit where it's due. WoW has been bleeding subscribers for years, long before the drought. XIV got and kept it's subscribers through it's own merits.

One MMO losing subs + a newly released MMO does experience a quicker growth than if everyone is perfectly happy with the MMO they're playing, especially 2 P2P ones. This has been true since pretty much the start of MMOs. So it's a bit silly to say people losing interest in WoW and looking for a new MMO didn't help ARR in any way.

Remember when WoW was good? So do I.

Actually... I think the game will be more enjoyable when the people drawn by the WoW expansion leave.
Just saying.

Your post was kind of worded in a confusing way. At first I thought you were saying that ARR was suddenly losing players due to WoW announcing a content release. o.O

You post confuses me.
