Do you think many people playing FF14 will leave once new WoW expansion is out?

or stay

I think some people will go, yes! If it's good, we'll see something of a drop as the people who are only here because that has been bad for a while go back to it, but...that's very very good.

It's best for everybody if the people who prefer WoW get to play it and it's worth playing. Plus, competition breeds innovation and improvement, so we definitely want it to be successful for that reason.

I played one month of shadowlands and learned a bunch of things there, then I decided to give a chance to ff. I think nothing will ever get me to wow again, from drop rates to lfg system, lore and design

Yea i always liked WoW lore but Shadowlands was similar to GoT final season. Some really weird writing in there

[Aidenel]

I mean they might for a month or two, but the chance of them returning is high

Nostalgia is powerful. We'll see a dip in player numbers, for sure, regardless of whether Dragonflight is good or not.

Considering the last two WoW expansions lead to a huge population spike in FF14...

Some will, and many of those who return to WoW to try out the expansion will come back once they see that it's still the same game they quit before. I recently went back to WoW using the last token I had and got bored out of my mind after just 10 days and ended up just uninstalling the game.

I think some will. It doesn’t look like the new WoW expansion will be very good though, so I imagine they’ll all come back.

A decent chunk may leave to try it out but I don't expect a significant amount to leave this game for an extended period.

[hagare]

probably. I've been hearing good things about dragonflight

[Aethervox]

There is nothing stopping one from playing or at least trying both games at the same time.

I believe many will give it a shot, especially if it releases at a time where there is a bit of a content drought in xiv, but i personally don't expect to see a mass exodus, personal feelings aside wow's latest expansions hasn't been too great, and it does not seem this one would change this trend.

So hungry. . . for even decent bait..



itchy.
hungry.

[Retriks]

i'll do what i always do with wow:

• Buy the game and play for a week or two then stop.
  
• Not play until final patch release and complete all prior patch content.
  
• Wait for new expansion
  
• repeat

They only need one good expac to be back on top again really. Look at how big wow was during Legion despite WoD being universally despised.

That said I doubt I will ever play WoW again. Blizzard is dead to me at this point.

The cycle repeats, it is the way of things, they can comprehend nothing else. :rina:

I think most people are expecting it to be bad at this point and they just plan to check in with the game and see what's new...
