Many cite the game’s long, eight-month wait before its most recent patch and the subsequent narrative payoff of an easily predicted cliffhanger. It turns out, this is precisely what’s happening, but in the other direction: Disillusioned World of Warcraft fans are making the switch to Final Fantasy 14 en masse.ĭespite Blizzard’s MMO updating to a new patch, featuring a new area and a new raid, less than a month ago, World of Warcraft players are unhappy. (For Final Fantasy 14, that’s the highly anticipated Endwalker.) Usually, this is when players fizzle out, take breaks, or swap to another MMO.

It’s abnormal for an MMO to see a spike in players during the lull between the last major content patch and the upcoming expansion. This leap in popularity is both unprecedented and unexpected. Droves of new and returning players are flooding the MMO’s servers, resulting in lengthy queue times and even a brief period where the digital version of the game went out of stock.
Final Fantasy 14 has been shattered before, but not by its own players.
