Obviously this data is subjective but can we talk about how much of a GENIUS decision it was to make from 1-60 free and include the Heavensward expansion.

I can see this causing major drama. Some people seem to think Twitch is a good reflection of population numbers for an MMO. This game is very huge in Japan but please tell me where they stream at as it is not Twitch.

Here is hoping this forces Blizzard to step up their game and we can get some real competition going in the MMO space making both MMO's better.

Congratulations Square Enix for having developers that treat players with respect.
Misleading. WOW and WOW classic were separated in this data, and combined they nearly double FFXIV's population. In all honesty though I'm surprised the number of "active" players is as high as it is, but quantity is not always an indicator of quality.


The free trial definitely breathed some new life into the community, but to say it's all positive or a GENIUS decision is highly subjective. Just take a look at pf, half of it isn't even recruitment for in game content. Prior to free trial the "active" community looked a lot different.

Also it sounds like you are saying WOW isn't real competition for this game? Which is just lol.
