With WoD in a month, what do you feel will happen in to FF14's population?

[Madruck]

Please answer you opinion in a kind and calm manner. I only ask this question out of interest to see what others opinions are in regards to this expansion.

Do you think that the population of FF14 will decrease not just for a short time but for a extended period of time after WoD release?

Do you feel that FF14 is up to the challenge of facing down WoW in regards to numbers with the whole new restructure of on how WoW with updated its graphics which is almost comparable to FF14?

Do you feel that the player base based on your server has increased or decreased not based on content but based on the direction SE has made with the game in the past year?

Please voice your opinions in a respectful manner. I do not ask this question to start arguments or to offend anyone....I would just like to ask honest opinions on the above questions.....

Probably won't change much. People who raid will still raid. People who still log on a few hours a day will still do just that.

Yes it will hurt FFXIV and here is why.

Who ever quit or deleted character can revive them, the content will be game breaking hard which will last them a bit to finish the content and the new updates for that content, so some of the old WoW players who left because of dry content will probably return and some will most likely stay on FFXIV till shiva rolls in and beat that then leave.

Though will it hurt player base probably.

Then again I returned to FFXI that free weekend and didn't feel the urge to play felt like I was lost after a year away and some players might feel that way in WoW turning them off to the game.

I don't think a lot will happen which will impact me. Within my guild and on my friends list people haven't played WoW in years. For many WotLK was the last they actively played. With a few having trickled over into Cataclysm for a while and just a handful have tried Mists of Pandaria. Odds of them trying WoD is very small.

Overall it's very hard to say, but I don't think there's going to be that many active WoW players in FFXIV. Nor do I think this expansion pack is going to get back a large number of players from other games, just to check it out once more. Mists of Pandaria already failed to truly have that effect as well in my opinion. The temporarily gained numbers weren't too large, especially considering the spread of MMO's such number comes from.

I probably will give WoD a lick, mainly because I am at a point in FFXIV where I feel a bit like nothing progresses. At least not the way I want it to. Jus how I will handle my subscription Is another thing, which I don't need to worry now though.

I doubt there will be a big change of numbers though. WoW caters to a different playerbase than FFXIV does.

It will definitely affect the population for sure. Thus, S.E must entice players to return somehow. They need to respond to WoD with something that will lure players back to FF14.


By the way, Madruck, I look forward to your next ATMA thread installment.

I made the mistake in the past of making statements about things about Atma that I really didnt in the past and I came off disrespectful which will not occur anymore. I do feel that Atma was a mistake but thats a dead horse until SE decides to change it. I will still ask opinions so I can get a feel on the pulse of FF14.

Sorry, I didn't follow much on gaming news lately, so I have no idea. Or is it non-gaming term?

What is WoD? Is it "Wife of Diabetic", watched that from one of Scrubs episode?
