Let Asmongold subscriptions count towards the FFXIV x Twitch Collaborative Campaign

[Mosha]

When he starts playing SE will most likely bite his hand off to join the promotion.

Also, the people in the thread complaining about how Asmon is going to bring a load of toxic people to the game. You're pretty toxic yourself btw and it's so tiresome to read the same thing by the same people in every Wow/Asmon thread. The game isn't going to change overnight Asmongold isn't Dalamud, chill.

The only twitch channel I'm willing to sub to is Asmongold. Asmongold did say that he will stream FFXIV on July 3rd and he has brought so much awareness to FFXIV. Let be honest here, he'll decimate every other streamer in view count.

...Who?

And what is all this unnecessary noise about this toxic lad who apparently insulted FFXIV for several years and now suddenly wants to jump ship? Sounds to me like an opportunist who knows that Endwalker will be an even greater success than Shadowbringers and needs a means/methods to maintain his viewership and relevance.

What a farce-- I'm done here.

Stunning and brave.

Indeed-- I'm a legacy player who has played this wonderful game since beta of 1.0-- currently taking my fourth charcater (Leo Dracarys) through Stormblood. Been loyally playing here since when we were less than 100k on the servers, still here now that we're over 22 million.

Thus, I will absolutely smirk in irritation (and clearly speak my mind) when I see a whole bunch of glorification for some toxic streamer coming over to this game.

We...are nowhere near 22 million active players. We might have about a couple million at best (and even that might be a stretch), though that number is probably poised to go up given recent events with a certain other MMO. It'd be nice, but 22 million will simply never happen. I will happily eat these words should such a massive gain happen though.

22 million registered accounts is not be be sniffed at--



Now that we have that established, let's shelve this derailment and return to the matter at hand--- the Twitch collaborative campaign and the illusion of "interesting" streamers.

To be extremely fair here... we both know alot of those accounts are either bots or dead accounts that aren't playing like we are. WE really don't know the -true- amount of players in the game as neither Square nor Blizzard share those numbers. I'm sure it's ALOT tho to be extra fair.

GOD NO! He spent the last 5+ years crapping on FF14 constantly and calling it a weeb trash game without even remotely trying to learn anything about the game.

The dude craps on everything, especially WoW, im sure blizz hates him with a passion. He's basically hit that point in mmo gaming where everything turns into more of a chore right away and trying out new stuff is only decent thrill.

[Voidedge_Ragna]

What are you taking to believe we have 22mil "active" accounts, its a bloated number. Ppl who quit 5 years ago are in this list, ppl who tried to play the game for 5min with a free account are in this, bots are in this.

The last statistic i saw said we have 3mil and wow 2.7 on retail and 2.4 on classic, and XIV celebrated it, which is fine i suppose but can we get away from saying everything XIV does is divine and the best thing ever?

Games that are backed into a corner improve the most because they take the risk, remember 1.0? It was in a corner and did improve ... if we never face critic nothing will improve and we are on the same 30 ilv spiral we have been on for years. Let me guess a dungeon at 81 83 85 87 89 3 at 90, a Trial at kinda 83 and maybe 87 and one at 90, another set of role quests. Let me guess lv 560 for fresh lv 90 bla bla bla

Asmon funnily enough is prolly the biggest ffxiv content creator, so let him join. If he looks at a FFXIV vid and comments on it while 50k ppl watch, that has more reach then if 100 ppl play the game and lets be real if a XIV streamer break 1-2k thats a good day, Asmon goes up to 70k and stop hating internet personas, dude also did a charity stream with over 300k for kids this week.

Do you hate the AVGN for being angry? Its a character.

You know that is a confected number of all accounts/trail accounts that have ever logged on over the whole lifespan of ARR, right?

By that token WoW would be sitting somewhere in the above 100 of millions.

Even at its peak in the mid - Wrath era (when Blizzard still published numbers on these things) WoW claimed to have 12 million active players - which is probably true-ish.

For comparison Fortnite claims to have 350 millions players - though this is obviously not the amount of people logging in daily.

I'd guess that FFXIV has more daily players than WoW currently - though not more active accounts overall. Given the Classic/Retail split WoW still holds more players in total but the content drought and the obvious shift to FFXIV content has successfully chipped away at those numbers.
