Is it worth trying after the experience with World of Warcraft?

There is a trial, you've got nothing to lose.

It's just interesting to hear players with the same experience

It starts off slow and is more story based than WoW. I enjoy it a lot more than WoW but mileage varies person to person. The story really picks up in the expansions and Savage raids are pretty fun in the postgame.

I had fun with the trial, got to thirties and bought the game. You can complete the core story and the first expansion for free without the restrictions being too noticeable. Depending on your regional subscription price, might be worth getting the starter edition.

Also, this review just about sums it up:

On the other hand, there's this:

So yeah, read both, see what you want to see, then decide for yourself if you're ready to sink in some time to try it out.

Actual I have 50 Minutes on the Timerand the Game is not even installed, because it slow down to 10% of my Web Speed, then break up (Failed Update).
Is there a alternate DL so I can unstal the Basis of the Game under Steam and then just update it if needed?
The running Timer is a good Way to destroy the Game Retour, if you have buy the full Version, so I'm happy I havn't buy it, but I would like to try the Game before Xmas.

By the Way, why I go to the Store Page if I click on community Hub?

You can't get a refund anyway (as stated on the store page), so playtime doesn't really matter.
You can use the standalone Mogstation client though, if you want.

How does that matter for a nonrefundable game with a demo that has no time limit?

Meh many of us are WoW vets that moved over with no hatred. I'm a big fan of games where the player is more involved in the story so ffxiv is more my flavor but I really have nothing bad to say about WoW even though I haven't played it in over a decade.

and the trial goes to level 60 so you can experience the full base game story

Old WoW (Vanilla) vet here who has been playing both for a long time.

Given subs to both cost similar money, it's actually worthwhile to rotate between them, given FFXIV embraces the idea of monthly updates and breaks, whereas WoW tries to keep you playing all the time (which leads to burnout or being stuck in the 'just logging in for weekly renown stuff' until you get bored). Rather than subscribing to both, you can easily consider ubsubbing to one to try the other -- but be sure to avail of the free trial first.

I dug into Shadowlands for a month and it eventually boiled down to me just logging in to sort renown on multiple chars once they were geared up - had little else to really do since I left my hardcore raiding days behind in vanilla and TBC, and M+ spam (while enjoyable) can get a bit draining, so I figured it'd be the perfect time to catchup in FFXIV. When I left FFXIV to play Shadowlands, we were at around 5.2, so there was a few patches, trials, raids and other things to catch up with here, giving me plenty to do. Having a great time once again and working on improving all my classes, crafters and gatherers inbetween checking out all the new trials, raids and content.

Seeing as you already playing an MMORPG, do bear in mind that it would be foolish to judge a new one by the early game. WoW players heading to FFXIV will notice the GCD and reliance on story over multiplayer features, possibly giving a bad early impression if they are not hooked immediately, especially considering ARR is the slowest part of the entire game. It's no secret that the game picks up in both pace and storytelling once you hit the first expansion - and picks up even more once you are somewhat caught up - so don't be disheartened if you find it a bit of a slog early on. It absolutely will get better.

As a former WoW addict and a player of countless MMORPGs over the years - speaking for myself - Shadowbringers is the best MMORPG experience I've ever had, and while it will have its detractors, you'll also see many people saying the same (for good reason). Methinks you'll enjoy it here if you approach it with an open mind and aren't relying on early-game action-combat alone to maintain your interest.

1. I'm on the trial, so there's nothing to refund (I would never pay Money for a Game I don't know first and after WoW I will never again pay a Subscription Game)
2. The time is actual on 3.2h and the best bas 15 % so far
3. Even if you start it from Steam, you switch to the Launcher.

What I need is a Download of the Game, who continue the Download, like in Steam.
The Launcher start over again every 2. Try and the Game is strange, if I read in the Web, some People have need 60 Trys to just Update the Game.

A Trial has nothing to refund, eccept wasted Time.


WoW I have play from Classic in 2005 to the 2. Part of Catalysm (somewhere in 2013).
I have stop playing it, because every Addon was just the same Trash, just in a new Wrapping.
The Most People rush the Levels to go to the Raids fast, Story is not important.
And you pay monthly for it or can't play it.
Well at last both Games have a Test Account.
I like Games where you pay once and then play without any Costs (like Diablo 3) or a Game where you pay nothing and the Company behind it earn their Money with different Stuff, like the Sale or Rent of Land (like in Second Life).

I would recommend the free trail :) For me WoW dident really work... So for me FF14 is the best MMORPG i ever played :) Give it a go :)
