So the article is quoting MMO-Population.com, and barring questions about HOW they get their data, the FF14 data seems misrepresented.

Here's what the top 10 list shows:



It shows WoW at 1.21 M active players and FF14 at 1.27 yeah?

If we click WoW it also shows 1.21 M on that page:



But when we check FF14s page it says 846k



So the numbers the article is quoting are wrong, one way or another.

If it’s legit in any capacity wooooo if it ain’t well that’s still a high number… I’m also concerned after the handling of season 1 of Diablo 4 how anyone trusts blizzard for that game. I know we talk about 15 patches with content or balance but god damn blizzard they took the cake with season 1s patch notes lol.

And... It was a short fad.

I very much hope that your predisposition toward digging up old threads will be too.

How they get their data is pretty important.

I suspect the data is misrepresented for all the games there. Baldur's Gate III just officially released last week even if start up supporters have had access for a few years.

I don't understand how Diablo 4 has any players left at all. That game is a way bigger dumpster fire than FFXIV and WoW, but somehow it keeps chugging along. Granted, like four of its six cylinders aren't functional anymore, but it's trying dammit. WoW's still got four functional cylinders, and FFXIV is running on like three and one more that only fires on every third stroke.

I don't get that either. I uninstalled wow and cod When activision made changes that really annoyed me. I don't know why people sticks around. Probably similar to how people somehow can't end and abusive relationship

Congratulations Square Enix for having developers that treat players with respect.

And now we just need the playerbase to treat the developers with respect and stop modding everything to the point where they end up playing IMVU XIV.

Not surprised - Final Fantasy IV is a pretty good game, and was relatively recently (re)released as a pixel remaster.
