I hate to constantly bring up WoW but the 22nd of next month is the next major patch of their expansion which came out around 2 months after Dawntrail.
The expansion also doubles up as a massive event for the anniversary of the game refreshing some old content for the anniversary. All of that and XIV couldn't even add an unreal trial for 7.0.
7.1 will be an alliance raid, unreal, ultimate and probably the new doh/dol content. Why is this taking 4 months to give us.
