@@teacherof20 hey thanks so much!! Appreciate that. I have started streaming on twitch but it’s mostly just for fun as I’m gathering gameplay for YT videos :)

A 19 year Guild wars player here, GW1 and 2. I must admit my heart is still with GW1 although I rarely visit anymore as my friends list of past players long gone makes me a little sad.

[@dinospumoni5611]

Where are you getting these numbers from?

[@Megaman8880]

I am considering getting into FF14 for the first time. I'd like to start from the very start of the game and slowly work my way through all of the story that's been added over the years.. is that possible? Is it a realistic thing to try and do for a new player?

[@ashycre]

Of course. The way how daily works, it is one of the most newbie friendly MMOs. You can even start with the free trials and play the story for free until Stormblood, the 2nd expansion.

[@zeusleague.]

You actually have to. There is no other way around it. The leveling has a slow enough pace that lets you enjoy and go through every main story mission with no skips in time (sorry, Chromie). ah, also, no skips .... you will understand what I mean, if you ever reach the raid daily part of the game. Have fun!

[@dinospumoni5611]

Going through the story from the beginning is mandatory.

[@red5robb1]

treat FF14 as a JRPG first and an MMO second. in fact basically all content is locked behind the story. you need to progress to specific parts to unlocks specific things

[@ItzAcheon]

Where did you get the osrs daily player count numbers. Osrs peak player count of all time wasn't even 300k combining rs3 with osrs. Osrs averages about 120 - 130 k players daily. Also if you don't know: RS3 = newer version of runescape with normalized mmo ability system. OSRS = 2007 version of Runescape

[@ItzAcheon]

and you have to take into consideration that osrs has a huge botting problem. So many arn't even real people.

[@SnowCabbageGamer]

the 120-130k is active players online at the same time. the 360k is players throughout the entire day averaged over a month.

[@Z-MACx]

@@SnowCabbageGamer thank you 🙏🏻

[@ItzAcheon]

@@SnowCabbageGamer That makes more sense. I mistook "active daily players" for concurrent players. Thanks for clarifying. The bot problem still sucks though lmao.

[@pkdsince05]

@@ItzAcheon what have you got against osrs lol

[@Dyssayah]

uh, sorry but Albion Online is not on this list, and only on steam it has 15k daily players, which accounts for quite a small amount of the player base. Not sure whats the criteria but clearly this list is wrong

[@Gn8Lif3]

not a fan of any of this and it is mainly due to the mindset of mmo players wich is harming not only mmos but is a bad influence on other rpg games aswell short explenation "be the best over fun " "only help if you get something out of it"

[@Silvertarian]

Why don't you just cry about it then. Boohoo

[@TheHrb1234]

If you actually played GW2 then you would know your assumption is incorrect.

[@Gn8Lif3]

@@Silvertarian because i am taking your mom to a magical romantik seafood dinner and never call her again after

[@Gn8Lif3]

@@TheHrb1234 exceptions confirm the norm I would say it is because gw2 players used to come from gw And at the time gw released this mindset i am talking about had not yet spred even wow wasnt like that back then
