Just checked the trends for Final Fantasy XIV

Worldwide is a better metric as US players are a small part of the player base




The interest in the game has been the highest between 2.0 and 3.0 launch

listening less to the community has only given them higher rates of interest

Overall interest has been declining ever since the HS launch so it is quite the opposite in fact.

The ups between 5.0 and 6.0 were caused by Blizard's lawsuit and streamers like Asmongold. The game is not in a good state.

Baseless.

According to Lucky Bancho data over the game's history, the active characters during patch lulls (which is a good estimate of permanent subscribers) has grown by 200,000 every expansion. This expansion it has had at least double that. Where it used to float around 600,000, now it floats over a million.

Just came in here to say this to. Nothing to see here. Pop is well within the usual norms. Although I would like them to listen more on certain things it doesn't hurt.

The game is not in a good state, but players killed Data Center travel with 15,000 requests a minute, essentially DDoSing the system.
