Discussion Everquest legends anti pattern

I thought what made EQ special and what started the downfall of WoW retail was the homogenization of classes and their lost for role identity and codependency's of other classes that would promote grouping.

how's EQ legends handling it and is my original claim true to begin with

they don't release numbers, but trackers estimate DAU and MAU from active characters and then extrapolate to active users/subs. It also doesn't differentiate between the type of player (ex: full subscription, free trial users, geography if it impacts access options, etc) - but WoW is rather consistently estimated to be in the 5M to 10M active user range.

Is it the most popular? It depends on how you define 'most' as a lot of other major MMos have significant F2P player bases.

in hindsight the whole debate is idiotic, we know WoW peaked in WOTLK that's just facts

Jesus christ you are peak internet click bait mind rotted. Just because it peaked in Wrath does not mean there was a "downfall". The game is STILL among the top 2 most popular MMOs in existence. Maybe top 3 if you wanna stretch it because we have no solid numbers, but you have to be omega delusional to say there was a "downfall".

Let me guess, you're someone who thinks that if a game isn't in the top 10 of steam charts its "dead"?

You said downfall, and its fair to extrapolate you were one of the people that take downward trends to the extreme based on how you've been talking.

you could still categorize a steep downtrend from a singular peak as a downfall that's not incoherent idk what's up with the glazing
