Vandal.net: The latest venture of the renowned RPG franchise Final Fantasy, one of the great works Magna Japanese developer Square Enix, so we got a little surprise ... And no wonder, since they started hearing about Final Fantasy XIV when even the thirteenth installment of the series was little more than a rumor in the media.
Bored of games with no players or are you finding it hard to pick the right MMO for you? Here you will see the 6 Most Played MMORPG with some games exceeding 5 million registered accounts. Keep in mind that games like Tera have a massive following in countries like Korea which is why they are on this list.
Honorable mention:
- Black Desert Online (Recently sold 300k copies)
Leviathyn.com | Supporting characters or sidekicks need more of a spotlight. Sometimes the best characters in a game aren’t the main heroes or villains. More often than not we find ourselves enjoying a supporting character more than anything. These supporting video game characters deserve their own game!
From Strategy Informer: "Despite launching another MMO version of the franchise later this year, Square have said they will continue to support their previous MMO, Final Fantasy XI.
Speaking in an interview, Senior Vice-President of Software development Hiromichi Tanaka, said that, whilst he believes Final Fantasy XI has "reached its time", they will continue to support the game if there are still players."
They will not stop support. They have a mini expansion for the game coming out near the end of the year and it makes no sense to release that and then a few weeks later end support for the game.
Honestly compared to how much it probably costs them to keep the game running(very little) and the amount of players they still have(somewhere between 500k-800k) it's still one of their most profitable games.
They will more then likely still be making more money off of XI then XIV until costs of running XIV come down unless XIV is a MASSIVE hit.
Nope they said from the very beginning before XIV even got it's number that they wouldn't end support.
Square: And as long as we support FFXI, no one shall ever defeat Absolute Virtue legitimately- no one! MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
They'll 'support' it I'm sure by keeping the servers active. But support it as in make another real expansion pack for it they stopped that back in 2006 - And no the mini expansions, and copy-and-pasted areas (wings of the goddess) don't count.
The increase of level cap is nice, but I'm not going back just to grind more lol.
I've been playing it alot lately in anticipation for FF14, but once 14 comes out I'll probably leave from FF11.
