This game actually isn't that popular though. Sure, it's grown a bit within its lane over the years, but people in the community seem to overestimate how big this games reach actually is.

This game has never even managed to achieve 1/5th of what was WoWs peak subscriber count. There are games out there that pull in more users in a single day than this game manages to pull in over a span of 3 months.

Retention on this game is always surprisingly low when a major influx of players is brought in by an external source. Their content model actually alienates a lot of potential players, with lack of difficulty, MSQ gating and slow combat pacing being extremely common complaints. In my personal experience, of all of the friends I've introduced this game to, only 1 actually made it out of ARR.
