I have tried XIV but for me it has no soul. I'm not interested in traversing an empty world that punishes me for wanting to gain experience outside of quests. I don't want to have almost no opportunity for grouping outside of people matched to me by a machine. Sure, you can make friends in theory but when the whole system is set up to atomize people and there really is no incentive pushing people on the same server to work together... yeah no thanks. It's like a shadow of what I loved of XI.
Anyway, I just resubbed to WoW this weekend to give it another chance. There are some neat things there. I spent the day playing alone and it was fun. There were lots of people in the world. Sometimes it was annoying when they were trying to get a quest mob that I wanted - but then again - that made the game better for me. I love the pet battling thing. I love that my hunter can have exactly the kind of pet I want. I like that there actually is a BST/Hunter type of class
Still, I don't have the same hunger to play WoW that XI gave me. I still love XI, but it hurts too much to play it right now. I can't bring myself to invest in the character now that deletion is imminent.
