I don't know what can honestly be done for Final Fantasy XIV at this point.

If steam chart numbers are to be believed that's not exactly working out for SE.

It's not exactly ideal, but so long as Square continues to refuse to release their exact concurrent sub count statistics the Steam equivalent is all we can hope to rely upon. It's either incomplete and also possibly faulty information, or complete blind faith.

As much as I'd like to say no MMO ever truly dies, there was one worthwhile one that actually did the unthinkable and managed to die.
Rest in peace, Warhammer Online.

My stance is that MMOs on the whole die rather slowly. They don't keel over, instead they hemorrhage and exsanguinate over excruciatingly long periods. As a rule, I actually kind of believe the MMO genre is in a bit of a slump right now.
