Why Final Fantasy XIV isn't an MMORPG...it's an MORPG. (Why FFXIV is beating WoW.)
Editorial piece on why I think FFXIV is better suited as an MORPG, not an MMORPG. Sources linked below. Edited by YungFalcon edit: the 750 number is not a server cap, is simultaneous logins. MY BAD.

#DOAG . Death of a Game is a series dedicated to uncovering the mysteries surrounding the death of a game or company. nerdSlayer defines the term "death" in the context of the show as either... 1. Literally dead. 2. Had a mass exodus of players and never recovered (expectations etc). 3. The company ceased to exist. We follow a timeline of events, to uncover clues concerning why a game or company doesn't do well, and attempt to put it all together at the end for a deduction explaining how or why the game failed based on the evidence gathered.
