Interesting to see how dead the MMORPG genre has become. Are there still players around? (sopuli.xyz)

Mostly referring to the release of the latest WoW extension which isn't discussed anywhere (or maybe I missed it)

Indeed, so that's my point.

There were quite active BG3 and Helldivers 2 communities when they released as those are worldwide hits.

If you look at !helldivers2@lemmy.ca vs !finalfantasyxiv@lemmy.world, you instantly see which one is a more active game.

I probably just wouldn't use lemmy as an indicator of popularity/activity levels.

You're right. I guess FFXIV players are too busy playing to be here too ha ha

A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
