    ESO is 0 $ a month and yet it features region wide megaservers. With sharding (a technology that wasn't available 14 years ago) it is possible. Also, lack of platform wide servers on this game is due to the consoles builder policies (especially on microsoft's side).

    There are no excuses for the current server architecture, especially when so many things are already cross servers in FFXIV (like parties, duty finder, etc). I mean when you end up with like 2h 30 server queues, it is simply unacceptable in a 2017's MMORPG (and I'm not even on one of the most populated server).

    ESO is no where NEAR as popular of a game. Not only that it is pay to win. You cannot compare free to play (aka pay to win) games to a sub based game.

    Doubt it. I honestly doubt there is as many players. Also ESO has become pay to win. Have you seen the crown store recently? It puts me off so much.. They don't even put out enough content to slap that price on their ingame stuff. I LOVE ESO, but at the same time I'm not blind to what's happening.
