    Booming, but as always MMO players are efficient. 21-30 is what people repeat to level and all other floors only need to be done once. It's very old content and a lot of people already did the other floors, so it's going to take that amount of time for them.

    In other news, there is no technical debt from 1.0.
    "We don't have ... a technological issue that was carried over from 1.0, because ARR was meant to kind of discard what we had from 1.0 and rebuild it from the engine."

    It's not booming. This is the lowest pop we've had in 2 years, and it'll keep getting lower for December until we get content again in January. That and we started stretching out to the new datacenters, so it's pretty rough right now.

    The content they pushed out for 6.2# just wasn't good enough and lacks replayability. That combined with WoW having a big launch, including the pre-launch events.

    I've never seen any kind of decent xp out of there and the thought of repeating the floors is boring. You would do better to just queue regular dungeons, especially if you're going to end up waiting for the queue to pop.

    Unless you're running with a premade, dungeon queuing is significantly slower for a dps than deep dungeons and even then the exp per hour in deep dungeons is still more than regular dungeons, especially after they removed exp from the trash mobs.

    They don't give out numbers officially and the only "numbers" we do have shows your statement to be false. By all means though, keep talking out of your arse.

    So aggressive.. It's not like I'm attacking FF. This isn't the total obviously, but it helps paint the general story. I don't even want to hear the "Yeah but most people play non-steam PC". I've worked on Multiplayer games with separate PC/Steam launchers, and Steam generally gives a good estimate on activity percentages. If you check this month, it's showing that we've been reducing and we're just now hitting the holidays so it'll get even lower. Doesn't mean we're dying, just saying we're hitting a 2 year low.

    Sounds like we're ignoring covid and the impact it had on numbers.

    Not ignoring it, that's part of the discussion too. Just stating that we're in a 2 year low. The discussion is around getting players to run content (HoH). With the servers split and everything else combined, it's just tougher to queue for specific* things right now. Even trying to do MSQ and needing a Trial in HW-ShB is pretty rough.
