Yes it happens in all games but some a lot sooner than others. If your old players are leaving at an alarming rate, then most likely new players aren't going to get hook for long. I.E FFXI vs some random F2P mmo.
I think the issue with that is, this game is unlike the others due to it being re-released and then getting to transfer basically completed characters over. That was a nice ode to the veterns, and it might have seemed like a good idea but it probably killed it for them at the same time due to the issue of not having enough content for those who have already had a 50 at launch. It's why alot of people made new characters despite having a character brought over. I wonder if it would have been different if they hadn't brought finished characters over. Probably not, cause there will always be people who zip to the end asap.
