Recent Q&A about glamour log...

How many months from last real patch to expansion? Roughly 6 months we covered half of your 12 already.

That would be ignoring that it's 6 months between 5.55 and Endwalker, the beginning of a whole new Expansion cycle, in the example you quoted, the question posed was 12 months of nothing for a new cosmetic glamour system and a new housing system, so no, we'd be halfway to nothing.

It's worse than that...
FF14 still has code left over from FF11.
Some of the code FF14 is running on was developed in 1999!

I would not be surprised!

Plus we've already had a small patch, and there are going to be multiple events between now and november. Remove those, imagine 12 months of nothing new.

You want an example of a year with almost no updates?

Wow's 5.4 patch lasted from september 2013 to october 2014 (for WoD's prepatch). Or 13 months

The only update in that time was to add the in game shop.

Players damn near rioted and all we got out of it was a generally panned expansion.

Then they did it again, 6.2 in June 2015, Legion prepatch in July 2016 with nothing in between. Player reaction was even worse but we at least got a good expansion out of it.

But both events I think seriously helped to damage the game. 9.0-9.1 was almost two of wow's normal patch cycles in lengths and players have .... been very unhappy, as we've seen from the influx.

A 12 month drought in FF14 would for sure damage this game, especially if we didn't get any new content out of it and just basically database and coding fixes.
