Even if it wasn't perfectly accurate, it's a good representation of the current situation. FF14 is indeed doing better than it ever has before and WoW is on a steady decline. It doesn't make me happy seeing WoW fall, I hope they see the increase in competition as a motivator to create quality content again, but I am happy this game is thriving. It might encourage SE to invest and throw the devs a little more budget.

It does depend if a player who actively plays both counts towards both totals. What surprises me most however is how large the Classic population is compared to Retail. Classic is a game that was created by a completely different development team to the current one. It's not a good outlook when your modern, polished game is struggling to keep up with a decade and a half old game made by the Devs you long since fired.
