Did Yoshida went a bit too far by cloning WoW?

I've played WoW and Aion. FFXIV is in no way shape or form even close to Aion. Aion actually requires work, the combat system there is standard point and click but there's a way better combo system.
However I do think FFXIV is a more easy version of WoW.

tthis game has the second most subscribers of any MMO out there?

Not arguing or saying this isn't true but can I have the link to where you found this information? I remember towards re-release they said they had 300k active subscribers. Then everything else just turned to "Accounts" and or "registered users".

According to this article. I don't know if it's true or not though. On the other hand WoW has 7 million and this supposedly has 4 million so I just assume its second most. Maybe SWOTR has more? I dunno. Most MMOs are free now with no sub model.

Might just be here say that everyone keeps repeating like its truth.

I've read that article before whoever wrote that seems to think "registered accounts" and "subscribers" are interchangeable when they aren't. When you click the "4 million paying subscribers" it takes you to the article about the registered accounts. I just think it's really strange that they've only released numbers once .*Shrugs* But thank you for posting the link for me.

As far as being the second most you're probably right since there really aren't many p2p mmos out right now.
