I suspect SL's hiatus will have the lowest subs in history and it will trigger events

FYI: Wow is not at the end of an expansion, there is still about a year left of shadowlands.

SL has had its last major content patch. It's the end of the expansion.

Funny, you don't even mention THE best selling PC game of all time, which makes the total sales of World of Warcraft look very niche indeed.

we still have all of season 4, they are making all 3 raid tiers relevant, and raising ilevel.

It is not the end of an expansion.

Yeah it is lol. This is the filler period where this is expansion is out of new content and everyone just twiddles their thumbs until next expansion. But lets pretend for a minute that you're right, that wouldn't change my original point. FFXIV's most hyped expansion fell off at the same rate as WoW's least hyped.

I dont doubt its filler, and likely the wrath classic population will outpace the current retail population on release. What I am saying is factually correct, wow still has a year left of shadowlands.

FFXIV continues to have a healthy growing population. There was a expansion release hype, which died down, but 6 months out, its still commanding 20-30k concurrent viewers on twitch. Compare that to 6 months out of its other expansions, it did not get at all close to its current numbers. Its still smaller than wow, but its growing while wow is shrinking.

Other MMOs have had sequels.

and pretty much all of them kinda failed...
