So, I heard that this mmo doesn't even have 1m subs
Is it true? How it was even possible to fuck up so badly?

It doesn't need many subs. Patches are spaced out by 3-4 months so they don't invest a lot in it, it's a paid subscription MMO with a higher than average sub fee and most of the money doesn't even go back to the game, Square uses it for other games mostly.
No asses.

>with a higher than average sub fee
It's 11 euro, one of the cheapest subs in the industry

Where did you hear that from?

Probably because nearly everything in this game is a fucking chore.
>beast tribe quests
>daily roulette
>two weekly raids
plus farming EX primals and progression raiding if you actually want to stay relevant.
But then its all worthless in the next patch so literally what's the point?

Just do what you want, don't make it your life you god damn autist,

>over a year old articles
>all during HW's launch

I know OP didn't mention it, but I get the feeling that is what he was fishing for.
>>343928918
What bothers me those are clickbait titles/articles.
They stated over 5 million "subscribers" but the truth was only 5 million accounts, not active accounts.
Similar to SONY using their ps4 rentals as sales.

latest lodestone census from april showed the game at around 700k active players above level 20, but stuff like that is inaccurate due to the way the lodestone caches and parses data.
Can I have some proof for that less than 1 million subs? Where can I find this data anyway? I'd like to know how many players are in Black Desert Online and on Blade and Soul as well (in West).

Around time when they reported more 1million active subscriptions across all their 3 games, they announced 1 million subs/accounts made on the site
And because DQ is dead until ps4 release and XI had less than 100k subs for years, I guess it was pretty accurate number

Thanks, anime-senpai! Cute anime girls of internet always deliver 100%

You need to be aware that report was made months before "2m subs join now" bullshit
>>343930254
that's horribly outdated though, that was before the PS4 release took off and the expansion came out.

2 of my steam buddies play FFXIV all the time, one has over 3500 hours on it and I think he started to play FFXIV only one year ago. I wish I were autist.
