Let Asmongold subscriptions count towards the FFXIV x Twitch Collaborative Campaign

[Ramesses]

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.

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.

I saw this and laughed. Blizzard wished they were sitting at 22 mil subs. Maybe back in classic wow, BC, and wrath. And that is maybe. But Blizzard is lucky to even be at half of that now. They are just too shitty at what they do now and how they treat their player base is down right pitiful. I understand your loyalty to WoW. It is admirable. But 22 mil subs is over stretching it a lot at this moment.

Weird, I must have missed the part where I was defending WoW or saying that it had 22 million subs. Might be because I didn't do either of these things. I also have no reason to do so since I quit the game out of disgust. I was simply pointing out that THIS game didn't have that many, and I made no mention of WoW's numbers. Not like I could anyway. Blizzard doesn't release that information anymore. The 22 million being touted by the poster I was responding to is created accounts (spanning the entire life span of the game so far), not active players, which are 2 completely different things. That is what I was pointing out.

Been loyally playing here since .

HAHAHA!! Loyally. And? You jealous and want some of that glorification as well? Well, too bad. In SE's eyes you're just another mark on the tally board rofl. When you bring them something to the table like Asmongold, then you might get some of this glorification!

You sir/ma'am just became my new friend. Finally someone who isn't drooling over Asmongold "The Toxic".
