It pains me to see people saying this game is dead, but whether it is or not, I find it irrelevant. I personally love this game and will continue to play it for a long time.

Indeed. It is a matter of perspective. Mine is simply that I'm having fun and will continue to have fun for many months if not years. I've already pre purchased Makeb.

It also saddens me to see ppl with such low gaming standards, regarding endgame pve and pvp.
But as you say its irrelevant, somebody's trash is someone else's treasure.

It is quite clear this game, since launching the F2P model, has starting making a comeback.

Pre-F2P, you would barely see 2 instances of fleets...and even now, after F2P has been in effect for a going on 2 months, peak hours are seeing 4 instances!

Whatever was happening to this game BEFORE, sure isn't happening now. Everyday, I see returning players posting in general chat, I see people deciding to sub...instead of staying F2P.

The best decision this game has made since it launched....was going F2P. This game is FAR from dieing..and anyone that played it BEFORE F2P, can see that.

The whole "this game is going down" gang....are just doing what internet trolls do, spewing uneducated mumbo-jumbo......as has happened since the dawn of the internet......and as will continue as long as we have an internet.
CTD...every 120 mins...since : 9/26/2012

Well, frankly, the sky fell. The numbers prove it without even a shred of doubt. The subs nosedived, period. The reasons are debatable, but the fact it happened is now beyond argument.

However, that nosedive seems to have stopped, and perhaps populations are now stable...even on the rise.

So, in short, it's time to stop with the spin about sub losses. It happened. It's also a bit silly to try and contend that subs are still nosediving, as that seems to not be the case based on in game attendance, pretty obvious.

Enough with the back and forth guys if either group wants to be taken seriously. You do not need vindication Tortanic group, the game did in fact bomb pretty spectacularly. Again, the reasons are speculative, but it did in fact lose over 80 percent of it's original subs in under a year.

Nor do you need to defend the game or sub numbers Torleaders, you are defending a game that does not get the credit it deserves, there is no doubt of that, the game is not the craptastic fubarfest that some would like others to believe. What the game does well it does the best in the industry IMO, arguable of course.

Both groups are hereby recognized.

Now, can we get back to giving the game vital critical feedback so it can continue to evolve and improve instead of this testosterone contest we seem to be engaging in?

Nice post however 'can continue to evolve and inprove' seems a bit of a misnomer now 'Hatchet' Hickman is in charge. However I hope for the best, as always.

Pity FF14 isn't listed there... that happened to be quite a hilarious disaster.

I never name specific people, but I have strong feelings about certain members of the staff. Most of the folks responsible for the game's current state...note, good or bad based on someones view and certainly speculative...are in fact gone.

One person in particular that I "credit" for the game's current state (or recent state...IMO the game has improved quite a bit since the layoffs) is gone, and I think the game is better off for it.

Right now, looking over the current staff, I feel overall it finally has a solid staff. Some folks are still here from before, but they had little to do with my view of the game's state. In other words, despite a few bad apples perhaps (speculative) the dev staff at present is pretty solid, certainly better than the former staff IMO.

Just my slant.
