WoW's doing so fine it's copying XIV's housing model right down to ownership decay, a system that makes no sense for a housing system that doesn't actually accommodate XIV's neighborhoods

XIV is getting its shit together in raid designs after two stagnant expacs and promising big class/job design reworks in the next expac, WoW's kinda floating and Microsoft is burning everything trying to get the gaming division in the black while also forcing AI use among all workers

At my absolute most pessimistic for XIV they've cratered in subscriptions but that's hardly surprising for any expansion which always divots out between X.0 and X.3 and then crests in the buildup to next expansion, on top of at its lowest still having a population count as estimated by censuses that any other MMO would kill for
