Final Fantasy 14 is starting to lose appeal because...

You honestly can't say "oh people loved FF11 and kept playing and subbing to it" and when you look at the actual data, they lost so many players they had to shut down half their servers and barely invested any more resources in new content.

As much as you might not want to admit it. Obysuca is right. FFXI was one of the most popular MMOs at the time. It took them something like 10 years before they had to merge servers. I played it for 3 years and still didn't experience everything in the game. It took me 2.5 weeks to experience everything Heavensward had to offer, mainly because everything is just so easy and one-shottable on duty finder.

FFXI might not have been more fun than FFXIV. But it was definately fun for longer than 2 months.

They actually did the first server merges in 2003. 3 servers went bye bye. It's true the next one was in 2010 so 8 years since launch.

Which again sounds terrible for new players. At least in my opinion.

Are we comparing several expansion packs of 11 with one expansion pack at release for 14 again?
