Something I noticed this weekend...

[HyoMinPark]

Everyone knows all of that already......... if you go back and read what you quoted me, you'll notice the word " active " behind 570k. For real....nice try though. Try reading more and misquoting less.

Your original post said this game had “millions of players”; 570k active is not “millions of players”. Try writing your posts more clearly if you meant there were only a 570k active.

Adding this here because posting limits are dumb:

"570k active" IS pretty clear, unless you cannot count to 570,000 or do not know the definition of active.

This game has millions of players, not just you, and the numbers say this game ISN'T dead.

There's an estimated 10 million subscribers,and that's well documented by Square Enix, granted they don'tall play, I get that,but this game has more subscribers than most MMO's. 11.6 million subscribers, 570k active.

I know very well what “active” means and how to count, thank you for your concern. “Has” is present-tense, and your first post in this thread was insinuating that there are currently millions of active players. That isn’t the case. The 11.6 million subscribers is no where close to the present number of people that still play, and your “570k active” was added after you’d already said “there are millions of players”. That’s being disingenuous, or purposely trying to exaggerate in your first post to back up your claims that the game isn’t dead by inflating numbers.


That being said, I don’t think much of “Here is why I’m unsubbing posts” like the one the OP has written and take them with a mountain of salt, because generally the people who make them aren’t actually leaving the game. I’ve only seen one conscructive unsubbing thread in the time I’ve been on the OF, and that was during Patch 4.1. Do I think the game is dead? No. But in my circle of friends, a lot have either unsubbed or started taking breaks from the game because 4.3 didn’t offer them any long-term content to do, and they aren’t raiders. And I can’t say I disagree with them—the patch itself did not offer anything new and exciting to the general playerbase outside of 1 new dungeon, 1 new 24-man, 1 new Ex trial (that a lot of people won’t try anyways), and a new Beast Tribe (that some won’t participate in because they don’t craft/gather), and the developers intentionally delayed HoH (which is already finished) because of their perception that 4.3 proper had “a lot of new content”.
