Small player base? LOL! Just goes to show you don't know what you're talking about. GW1 sold over 7 million copies. That's twice of FFXIV. It's still somewhat active today after 10 years. It had the power to damage WoW's numbers, but lucky for Blizzard, the game was B2P.

Rift was the second most popular P2P MMO when it came out. It sold a million around its launch like FFXIV did. Its downfall was after expansion. It didn't sell too good even though critics awarded it the best expansion. I believe that may have to do with Star Wars going F2P the same week, which was insanely popular for F2P. Now speaking of expansion, Rift's expansion is still the best of this gen. It brought way more to the table than Heavensward. So much that people didn't complain for lack of content for six months. Here, we have people complaining already.

Wildstar is the only one you can say that didn't sell well. It did good at launch and had a lot of hype, but like I mentioned in other post, it wasn't the concept that failed. It was the execution that failed. It wasn't a polished game at all which pissed people off. Otherwise, it had all the right ideas.
