Name one subscription based MMO besides WoW that isn't completely dead yet.

You can't.
>>
>subscription based
>WoW is free

woops
>>
>>334495317
Final Fantasy XIV and...
Uh...
I think that's it.
>>
>>334495317
I don't play it but FFXIV seems to be doing pretty well.
>>
>>334495503
>>334495553
OP said games that aren't completely dead, guys.
>>
EvE online has a sub fee but you can buy gametime with in-game money
>>
TOR
>>
>>334495673
>>334495710
>>
>>334495673
How many subs do you need to not be completely dead?
>>
>>334495774
At least as many as WoW had at its peak
>>
Runescape and FFXIV.
>>
PS+
>>
>>334495774
Square doesn't release its sub numbers so there's no way to tell how many subs they have. Probably less than 200k though. Dead ass game.
>>
Tera, oh wait...
Wildstar...wait a minute
ESO...damn that went F2P too
>>
>>334495317

Runescape
>>
>>334495826
I don't know man FFXI had 500k at its peak and it was widely successful and is still sub only today.

>>334495929
It's true we don't know FFXIV numbers but it's safe to assume it's doing well if it hasn't gone F2P or merged servers after being on the market for 3 years now.
>>
>>334495317
Dragon Quest XI
>>
Runescape
>>
>>334496104
X even, not XI.
>>
>>334496094
>it's safe to assume it's doing well if it hasn't gone F2P

Or they're keeping it on life support so they don't look like bumpkins for rebooting it.
>>
>>334496226
What? It's going to do be shutdown soon. PS2 and Xbox 360 already had their shit shutdown.
>>
>>334496226
If they really were on life support they wouldn't have released an expansion and already canned the upcoming one
>>
>>334495317
FFXI
>>
>>334495317
I don't know if I can without a protip.
>>
>>334496326
That's FFXI, not FFXIV.
>>
>>334496363
Those """"""""""""expansions""""""""""""" quote quote quote end quotes end quotes end fucking quotes have about as much content as a teeny-tiny patch. You're buying a patch.

A handful of players return for a month or two for the patch and promptly unsub when they breeze through the whole thing in a week. The same thing that's been going on since ARR was released.
>>
>>334496723
80+ hours of Heavensward MSQ is a teeny tiny patch?
>>
Isn't Lineage II still sub only in Korea or something?
>>
>>334496834
>80+ hours

In what universe?
>>
>>334497060
The non poopsocking universe. Even people who no lifed the expansion on release took 60+ hours to reach the final main story quest and that's by skipping cutscenes and nonstop running instant queue dungeons.
>>
Runescape
>>
>>334497272
First of all I beat ARR in far less than 60 hours. I even leveled a new class in the process 120 hours to beat ARR and an expansion is a fucking joke.
>>
Nexus:TK still has like 300 players
Fuckin' going strong
>>
>>334497519
Either you're a liar or you literally no lifed the game and have no concept of time because of how addicted you are to video games.

Feel free to post your lodestone so we can check out your MSQ achievement dates.

1-60 in less than 120 hours is not possible unless you were on for lots of hours a day and you heavily rushed to the level cap by FATE grinding and skipping everything.

Wow was nearing a 100mil at one point, now it's 60 mil mate.
His standards are not unreasonable

>>334499023
Yes, you are now just getting this? There is a single number one spot and everything else is dead in comparison. If you aren't number 1 you might as well give up, that's how gamers always think about shit.

>every fighting game but SF is dead
>every MMO but WoW is dead
>etc etc

If you want a serious answer, I believe the top 3 MMO's by sub/user amount is WOW, FFXIV, TOR
>>
>>334499213
Well since you won't give out your character name and server then you didn't complete anything you dumb ass jit.

I will never understand the level of retardation you must have to prefer to pay more which is all F2P is. Instead of paying a lump sum a month you end up paying 3 to 4 times that in unlocks and other dlc type shit

WoW is as dead as the rest of them.

>>334499427
First of all, you're implying all F2P MMOs are pay to win.

Second of all, I don't play MMOs, they're all utter shit, and the fact that lowlifes actually willingly pay monthly subscription fees to play them makes my stomach churn.

They are, there is no debate to this. If you can find me a F2P mmo with no cash shop and no boosts or anything of the sort ot buy, I will show you a green dog.
>>
>>334499863
No.

Anyway, now that we're done with that strawman let's get back to how XIV is dead as shit and you have no evidence to prove otherwise.

You first

Also

>>
>>334500054
??
>>
>>334495317
I think FF14 is the only one honestly. A subscription is mandatory to play, legacy servers still have queues at prime time hours, and multiple other servers still have character creation lockouts because of player congestion.
>>
>>334500054
Google it faggot I don't have to show shit
>>
>>334500195
>and multiple other servers still have character creation lockouts because of player congestion.

Square locked them to make them look full. You took it hook line and sinker.

Whether the number has gone up or down idk.

Those numbers aren't reliable. Try 200k.

It's all we have to go since those numbers are pulled from the official Lodestone page.

What makes you so sure the game has 200k?
>>
>>334501224
Because it's an abysmal pile of dogshit?

>>334501317
Great opinion, but what does that have to do with your number?

It's a good estimate.

>>334500415
And Jersey Shore made it past season 1. Your top played mmo is prime garbage, amigo.
>>
>>334501469
Not as good as data retrieved from the game's official server database
>>
>>334501705
Considering most of those are bots and the person who does the surveys never tells anyone the specific requirements for his estimates my guess is just as good as his.

200k
>>
>>334501602
>Poorfag says opinion
>thinks it matters
>>
>>334495774
Reality, only about 10k. $15X 10000 people is a lot of revenue bimonthly and that's not even counting money that could be made from expansion sales, cash shop items, and more.

But in /v/'s warped mind, they see anything as less than WoW's peak subscriber count as a failure.
>>
>>334501885
>people who want to play the best version of the game

Clearly they're just too poor to afford the watered down garbage of today's WoW.
>>
>>334501838
Except the guy does specifically mention in his server parses that he only counts people who played within a small timeframe, have a level 20 or over class, and have at least earned their airship license achievement. Something that bots and gold farmers never ever get because it's a waste of time to do the MSQ when they can just teleporthack and grind.
>>
>>334499934
Runescape
>>
>>334502232
Chinabots all have mounts, airship licences,and are above level 20 because about a million chinabots are legacy. The numbers aren't trustworthy and neither is square.
>>
>>334502759
most chinabots never make it past 20 and if they do they powerleveled and never bothered to get a mount or airship license because what's the fucking point if you're going to get banned for botting/teleporthacking anyways.

The legacy chinabots (all of which were transferred over to ARR) were all over 20. There was no teleport hack in 1.0. Plus square doesn't ban them.
>>
>>334503143
they do ban them though, every week they do a sweep of every server.
