You really making it sound like Diablo III is the end of the world for all other games. Others already have stated that they do not care about Diablo III. Personally I do not give a crap about Diablo III myself. Besides that Diablo III is not a MMORPG, so it will not compete with FFXIV or WoW. It will have a small impact the first few weeks, but I doubt people will cancel their MMORPG subscriptions because Diablo III is released.

You really should stop thinking that your opinion is the only proper opinion at those forums. You make it look like it is a fact that Diablo III will "steal" members from FFXIV or any other MMORPG. You are just guessing, nothing more, nothing less. So please stop trying to sell your opinion as a fact, since your opinion on this matter is not shared by the majority of the FFXIV community.

Also, I can not remember any singleplayer game since I started playing FFXI that even tempted me to quit. The only game that will make me cancel my subscription for maybe one month would be a 1080p remake of Final Fantasy 7.

While i do agree single player games wont do anything towards the mmo market, let us not forget that other AAA MMOs are coming soon.

The clock is ticking on ffxiv recovery . Saying otherwise would be just a lie,, to yourself and the community.
in the end there are 4 type of people currently playing .

1 - those who are playing couse is F2P. This type brings no income.
2 -Those who play because for them ffxiv is better than anything else in the market for the time being.
3 -Those who are still on the early stages of the game, hence having fun for some time until they get bored and move on.
4 - those who wont stop playing ffxiv no matter what.


I think 2 and 3 would leave for a good and polished MMO as soon as it comes out unless the recovery processes happens before new releases, wich is unlikely.

1 brings no income , and 4 is to few.

Like i said , time it is runing out .
I wish for the best for this game but realistically speaking the chances to recover are slim.I hope we do recover tough.
