Oh I agree, it is most certainly in a decline. But it is far from dead.

With almost 200,000 subscriptions (we will use 190,000, x $12.95 from each sub), the game is bringing in close to $2,500,000 each month. (this is not including people with multiple contend ID's, etc etc)

Yes, it is going to keep declining over time, regardless of all the latest stuff they put in to keep people playing.

But the game is both literally, and figuratively 10x more alive in FFXIV is right now, after being out 10 years. FFXIV will have to pull a hat trick, to even get to the state that XI is right now.
