The great streamer Asmongold is joining FFXIV

[Diggles]

A welcoming community. That’s right, hope those filthy sprouts from the outside play in the dirt elsewhere, away from the bastion of compassion and friendliness that is *my* datacenter.

Yeah, no. His fans and “community” ruined the classic WoW server that they were on. You couldn’t pay me to play anywhere that he was playing. I’m sorry if you’re an Asmongold fan, but the rest of the gaming community finds his community to be insufferable.

What did they do?

[SuperAlex]

Didn't know you were a representative of the entirety of the gaming community. That's pretty outstanding.

I really don’t care what Asmongold does, but his fans are annoying and toxic and I really hope that he doesn’t play anywhere on my data center. I feel bad for the people who do play on the data center that he ends up on. If we’re lucky, he’ll quit and go back to WoW.

people like you make it so easy to say... gcbtw
"don't come to MY datacenter!" or what?

IF they're that bad they'll be banned as fast as they join up.

So, best case scenario Asmon and his army like the game and they end up being a bridge between WoW and FFXIV that gets a lot of WoW players interested. Worst case scenario SE gets to bleed the retail price and 1 months sub from an army of trolls. Most likely scenario they mostly don't like the game and move on, but still give FFXIV some face time with a large segment of WoW's playerbase; maybe resulting in some fringe interest from random players who didn't know what FFXIV was all about.

Regardless of how anyone feels about Asmon, this is a good thing.
