    I didn't realise doing BCOB in the end of 2016 counted as 'on level' =(

    If you look back in time old for old MMORPGs... they had similar cost per month... now 20 years+ later the subscription fee is more or less the same, but inflation and the likes has kicked in, so you are paying less than what you did in the past.
    Everquest and FFXIV peaked at just over half a million subscribers each back in their day.

    FFXIV's peak monthly active player counts are somewhere in the region of 20 million. *Edit* debunked! The daily seems to be more accurate at around 1.2mil, inactive players with active subs likely bumps that up by some amount.

    Plus as mentioned elsewhere, the likes of Everquest didn't have huge lines of Merchandise and cash shop 'DLC'.

    FFXIV's turn over dwarfs anything Verant/SoE could have dreamed of with Everquest. The issue isn't the amount of money FFXIV brings, it's that it's not being invested back into the game. Instead it's being used to fund other titles.
