Letter from the Producer LIVE Part IX Q&A Summary (10/30/2013)
Q: Will there be any maintenance fees or other costs for housing, besides the cost of the land and house?
A: In older MMOs, such as Ultima Online, there was a house maintenance fee you had to pay weekly, but in FFXIV: ARR we decided against this system. Similarly, these older MMOs also had a system where your house would break down if you didn’t log in after a while in order to have you continue your subscription, but this is a thing of the past and we won't have any system like that.




You joke but several big name WoW streamers have been playing FFXIV. Bellular, Annie, richwcampbell and etc. They have fairly big audiences who are naturally going to follow, especially with FFXIV having a free trial until the end of HW.

It's sort of the opposite- a lot of WoW players have been either giving it a try or switching over entirely lately, Asmon wasn't really interested at all but basically has decided to follow.
On another note- I think the influx of new players is especially impressive right now, with the long awaited by many (including myself) TBC classic just out, and after almost a year the first Shadowlands patch coming tomorrow this is probably the biggest content drop in about a year for WoW players. I think our disappointment in what they're shoveling out speaks for itself.
I really hope that FFXIV clobbers WoW right now- because maybe, just maybe, that'll cause Blizz to clue in to how atrocious Shadowlands, BfA and now TBCC have been handled; if even their usual strategy of dropping releases at the same time as competitors isn't working they'll maybe have to do something they haven't tried since Legion- make good content.
As someone who has played WoW since Vanilla, I want it to be great- but can't pretend it is right now, and definitely can't pretend they're doing anything to course correct.
