A new patch is about to come out. If you ever notice, about a month before a new patch drops people start to get bored and restless. More and more doomsday post start appearing. Makes for a good social study really.

As you 2 stated, isn't it a poor sign that people quit playing after only a few weeks to maybe a couple of months to wait for a new patch to come? There has to be something to that....its not only the player base but a lack of good quality content that will keep people occupied past one patch to another than does not rely on rehashed content that SE tends to enjoy putting out. That is exactly why SWTOR went to F2P because a lack of fulfilling content in regards to endgame.

Besides the joke there is something to be said for the quote and the image. MMO's go thru a boom and bust cycle that is both regular and semi-random based one what was in the content release prior, how fast it can be burned thru, and how long before the next patch. Fairly major population swings are normal now with how saturated the market is for mmo's. Back in the eq, wow, etc heyday, there weren't quite as many mmo's out there, now we are oversaturated with them. People get all the pixels they want from one, then switch to another till mmo a gets a new patch then they switch back. This is pretty normal now.

FFXIV Has loads more Content than SWTOR Ever had.

Swtor went free to play in what, a year? if FFXIV does aswell you can say "I told you so."

Coil on release wasnt buggy at all.

Vault was. BIGTIME.

Cross Server Dungeon Finder? FFXIV had it on release, Swtor? Nope.

FFXIV never had Dead Server problems as bad as Swtor did. and in Swtor it was even worse due to No Cross Server Dungeon Ques.

SNIP.

Valmar, please come make a character on Goblin server on peak hours and notice how many players are on in game and then you will understand what I am talking about.

Leveling in Swtor you went from Planet A to B to C to D to E to F to G. Bam 50.

Oh your Level 30 and you want to level in a different zone? Nope. youre suck on that Planet cause its the only 1 that has quests your level. sure they over lapped a little. but not by more than 3 levels.

While FFXIV has 3 different Themed area's each with a level 30 leveling area.
