We Need that Feeling back of "CoP"(first release)

[Keyln]

LMFAO but it DOES go above 500k between 2004-2005. Then it stays steady at 500k for nearly 6 years straight.

Whatever, my point still stands. While XI did great in retaining costumers, it was seriously hampered in growth. The game stopped growing after 2005.

FFXI was a great game and did very well. Despite its supposed "Bad parts" which you seem completely against in this new MMO for some reason. If your personal preference is an easier casual MMO that is fine but don't say that we have to carter it your way to be successful.

XI had some serious flaws that prevented it from being better and getting more subscriptions. My entire goal for XIV is to surpass those limits, and see it be more successful than XI ever was, and copying XI to XIV is not the way to do it. Rather, trying to appeal to wider audience, including "casuals", is the way to do it.
