I feel a disturbance in the air...

It feels as though something cracked.
It's as if people are getting away from the blizzard that kept them comfortable for so long...
I don't know why.

Was this a clever reference to all of the people that have been coming from WoW to make Eorzea their home recently? That's what I think when I read this because even when you go to WoW's official forums and other places you'll notice a shift in the air and how many are taking FFXIV seriously, 80% of them praise FFXIV and switching over disappointed with Blizzard past few expansions, while a smaller portion of them dislike FFXIV as they couldn't get past the initial 2.5 sec GCD before it speeds up or they prefer PVP. I've literally been keeping up on FFXIV's growing popularity on many sites and forums to see what players of other MMOs think, especially WoW. Maybe it wasn't a hint at that at all, but it can be interpreted like that.

There is nothing clever about the original post.

[Averax]

Yeah, the crap has hit the fan over there.

Time for my own ambiguous reference.

The ice stone has melted!

(ain't none of you gonna get that reference)

Edit: You know, it's actually kind of funny, i meandered over to the WoW forums, like i often do, and there's a thread full of people saying to stay away from FFXIV, because they don't want this game tainted by a bunch of angry wow players.

Yeah, because of the huge influx of players coming from WoW to here. I think whoever posted that thread is giving a bad impression of the FFXIV community. I certainly wouldn't want to tell WoW players not to come here. As for the percentages I mentioned of amount of WoW players that prefer FFXIV over those that dislike it, I actually count the positive posts vs negative on various sites as I tend to keep up with how popular or unpopular various MMOs are. So it's all accurate. I'll post a few examples here, but I'm not going to go through months of bookmarks to post every thread and site where FFXIV is pulling out ahead of WoW and others in popularity. Here's just a few, and for the threads on WoW's official forums, be sure to view how many likes and dislikes each post has. The text above each link is the title of the thread:

Dear Blizzard go play FFXIV

WoW vs FFXIV (includes a poll and results, and thread is NOT posted in a FFXIV forum, it's a neutral MMO forum)

Anyone with a competitive WoW syndrome enjoying a new MMO? (see topic and replies, also posted on an unbiased MMORPG forum, aka non-game specific)

And to step away from WoW, what about GW2?

Leaderboard: Heavensward vs Heart of Thorns (includes poll results and comments of which MMO players are looking forward to more out of the upcoming expansions. There were 3 major MMO expansions this year, and so far WoW's was a let down, and out of the 2 left these are the results of most looked forward to.)

I have tons more, including a thread on Steam somewhere comparing WoW's WoD to FFXIV where some WoW vets of 10 years have converted to FFXIV, but I'm not going through months of bookmarks. It should be noted that I am not shaming WoW. Though I prefer FFXIV, I know WoW is a great game. I'm just pointing out this shift I have noticed and why I thought the OP was hinting at it, and even more-so past 2 or 3 months. Out of all the MMOs players that leave WoW and other MMOs, more prefer/move to FFXIV than any other MMO out there. I'm speaking as someone that watches MMO trends, not a FFXIV fangirl. To be honest, FFXIV deserves its success, especially with how much Yoshi and them strive to please all types of MMO fans, like:

-There's a huge wait between content in most MMOs and not enough to do. (Yoshi and team release BIG content patches every 3 months, and expansion size same as game at launch)
-Primal mounts should play their respective themes while mounted. (done)
-Zones are too small and confined in ARR and have no dangerous areas. I'm going back to WoW. (Heavensward zones are 2 to 5 times larger and have numerous dangerous areas.)
-There's a lack of voice acting in ARR and voices on any bosses. I'm going back to WoW. (Heavensward will have more voice acting, and even one of the primals is voice acted.)

NOTE: I do not want to turn this into a WoW vs FFXIV thread. Both are great games in their own way. I was just reporting trends and why I thought OP was referencing that.
