The graph is under represented. It says Legion is lower than WoD when official numbers say they were the same in sales. So in reality Legion number should be 10 million, Classic release 12 million, and current WoW 10 million.

The numbers show WoW is still the king of MMOs. Blizzard makes several times more Money than Square Enix. WoW is far more popular in searches. Twitch has tens of thousands of viewers right now watching WoW and Final Fantasy doesn't even appear on the front page. Blizzard pumps out top tier expansions and when I play other games they are just so under developed compared to WoW. The game has millions of subs and prints money, and they heavily re-invest money back into the game.

Can you tell me what convinced you Final Fantasy was a more popular game? Was it really a screenshot of a city full of players? You know cities are like 1% of the content in these games, right? And the more content a game has, the less likely you'll see players in the cities?

For example, in Dune Awakening, I almost never see another player in a city. Yet the game has hundreds of thousands of people playing it.

Prove that the player numbers didn't crater after Dawntrail. Go on, I'll wait.

I wish there was a simple, straight to the point MMO where the social aspects and actual roleplaying was about as big of a deal as playing the game itself.

>>715571473
TERA is grossly overrated slop, and anyone who says it's "the best action combat ever" hasn't played any of its contemporaries. The main thing it did right was marketing toward the normie/wow demographic near its start.
That game died for several good reasons and only lived as long as it did because of fat elin asses. Its shills are almost as bad as the ones coping about Wildstar.

What causes someone to think that FF has a bigger player base than WOW? You don't have to like it, but why lie to yourself like that? WOW has SEVERAL times the player base. I have no horse in this race, but goddamn it's embarrassing to read

>>715572681
I haven't played WOW since 2014. I quit, because the game was literally shit. I haven't tried FF, nor will I ever, but I assume it can't be worse than WOW. Is it not enough for you to convince others that the game itself is better? Why lie about numbers when you yourself know it's not true. I know you're not that delusional.

Doesn’t realistic grinding at max level require a $100 + $15/month pet purchase if you don’t want to kill yourself by constant looting?

>>715583820
Yes but no but yes?
"Max level" grinding is 285 - 300 if I'm being generous, and you won't reach that far without intense commitment anyway. What you're referring to is a VAC pet, which is a specific style of pet that provides massively-improved pick-up range and pick-up speed for pets mimicking VAC hacks legally.
You don't actually NEED this unless you're planning on doing extremely heavy grinding beyond the level required to do all the content in the game.
>tl;dr
Yes if you're going to no-life grind at extremely mega-late game.
Otherwise no because you get free pets, free VAC pets (you can't extend their 90 days or revive them but you get one every major event), and will sooner put in a thousand hours before you run out of things that are more efficient in powering up your main than leveling.
Regular pets are tossed at you left and right with all the goodies for free too, and you can keep reviving them with RP points gained from killing bosses.

>>715583820
Some people will say you need it, but the only thing worth looking out for at higher levels are frags and cards. Frags because they upgrade your skills and cards because they need to be farmed to upgrade familiars.
You don't actually need to get vac pets though. Most people just make boss mules and garner 10b a week killing bosses.

>>715569734
I played this game on launch. Is it still alive?? People playing, new content?

>>715588542
Dofus uses turn-based tactical combat, which means there's things like line of sight, friendly fire, distance actually matters for range, you can separately control summons, positioning matters because you can hide behind enemies, allies, obstacles, and you can move allies/enemies
new update is coming out (new late-game content) that reworks the summoner class (osamodas) into broken-tier

it's not 1-2 weeks max level or korean-grind, and the "end game" isn't 90% of the game (technically), you can enjoy a lot of content straight to max level, then you have max level content, content never gets old, gear never gets old (no increased max level cap) so your stuff retains value (typically, depending on market fluctuations) even after months/years

>>715588768
how do you make a turn based mmorpg? I don't understand, is it pvp, does each player only control 1 unit, or is it armies? What is the overworld like, what is a good example video to watch showcasing it? NTA btw, but have heard of Dofus.

>>715588961
There's an overworld (and dimensions, which are just other overworlds) Everyone shares the overworld, can see each other. It's when you get into combat you get a pocket dimension and fight vs combatants. Each player typically only controls 1 unit, their character, unless they have summons or a thing called a Sidekick (AI companion), the game has multi-client servers where people can run multiple clients and mono servers which forbid multis. So people can play by themselves (if they pay).

There is PvP

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUUGpwGcI9s

This is probably a decent video even if outdated. This game has a lot of content. It's free up until the starter area.

>>715569373 (OP)
I love bdo but it's hard to recommend that shit game to anyone. If you're not interested in nodewar/siege just straight up dodge it, the pve endgame is practically nonexistent, just endlessly running in a circle to blow up mobs for thousands of hours, or for once in a week you can spend roughly 15-20 minutes skipping all the mechanics on a couple 5 man bosses to get their weekly loot which only either matters to grind 0.01% faster or to use in uncapped pvp. If you're willing to deal with the aids grind, retarded discord zoomers, and the awful engine issues the pvp is best in genre and has ruined everything else for me. Never played tnl because I didn't have the time to pick up a new game when it came out and nearly every guild that left for it has already come back to bdo by now, except epherium which completely fell apart because their gm cheated with an egirl and got caught.

Google Charts might be the dumbest way ever to argue which game has more players. Realistically its WoW, then FF still but both games are fucking barren compared to their heights.
Frankly, the 'raid mmo' genre I think is just on its way out in general. Tab is so absurdly outdated that its embarrassing and these are the only games still trapped in trinity combat when everyone else has long since left it behind. Even JRPGs, notorious for their archetypal gameplay, play faster and looser with the trinity than raid MMOs like WoW and FF do.

If WoW had had housing by Wrath I'd still fuck around in it. The Garrison shouldn't have been a one off thing. I loved my mission table and being able to use the app in Legion was great

Eve for a proper man's game
Albion for Eve-lite with shit graphics
Ragnarok is still good just finding the right server is aids

WoW has been dead since early WotLK, and got diddled by necrophilic performative gaymers and addicts since.

The Garrison bullshit has been one bullshit resource sink in a long line of bullshit resource sinks. Blizzard effectively forced itself onto the "content" dreadmill with TBC, when they've escalated the excessive vertical progression that they've introduced in AQ to the point of invalidating +2yrs of development each and every single time they release a new expansion. If they had kept to and curated the semi-horizontal progression of Vanilla, and never groomed their customers into mindlessly consuminf debtcattle, then WoW would have never lost its appeal.

WoW is also a dead MMO.
Less than 300k active players, that’s pretty sad

Right when people started to really realize how fucking dead WoW really was, Bellular suddenly came out with this and said
>trust me bro
And they did. And all the clear evidence of WoW being in a major decline suddenly vanished and WoW lived happily ever after with 10 million subs that appeared out of nowhere
