The month of June has been mostly about FFXIV, FFXIV and FFXIV. In fact if you didn't get in the beta your only other option is to kill yourself. Oh yeah and also E3 only confirmed that Xbox sucks.

April was such a boring month in gaming I couldn't find anything with a high hit count from the gaming section. At least it's a good thing we have SoA. I might consider tracking the tech and poopdeck sections for the next time.

Because you guys love RIT so much here's a random sample from April:



FFXI
Colonization Thread
Skirmish Findings and Information
Rune Fencer Findings
Geomancer Findings and Mechanics
Seekers of Adoulin and 3/27/2013 Update .DAT Mining Discussion

More zomg SoA... even…

Now that everybody only care about Seekers of Adoulin nobody cared about anything FFXIV related. Congratulation to TERA for their huge comeback. Yes I know it’s April 1st as I post this.

GD:
Random Image Thread XL
Best Videos on Youtube IV Oppa Gartr Style
Sex deprived woman attacks boyfriend over Xbox addiction
Real life pic thread 2
Random Fail First World Problems

Nothing unusual there.



FFXI:
Seekers of Adoulin and 3/27/2013 Update .DAT Findings
Seekers of Adoulin .DAT Mining Discussion
…

February still had FFXI, FFXIV and TERA as top topics... if we exclude the Random Image Thread of course.

GD
Random Image Thread
2013 NHL Season Thread
Manhunt in Los-Angeles
Super Bowl XLVII
Best Videos on Youtube

Nothing unusual in General Discussion: Random Image Thread is still at the top with some news and sports stuff. Also stop asking for a sports subforum, 2 threads occasionally popular doesn’t justify it.



FFXI
Completed Relic Mythic weapons list
Random Question Thread
Dev Tracker…

For the first time in quite a while the sections of a dead game are generating the most traffic on BG. Of course the Random Image Thread always stay at the top... and boobs. Beside that there’s a small revival on the TERA topics probably due to the F2P announcement while FFXIV gets barely anything being a slow news month.


FFXI
1-28-13 Version Update Discussion
Completed Relic Mythic weapons list
Salvage II Slavage Harder
Dorp XXV wtf bynes
Random Fail XIII

Gimp Confused …

2012 was mostly filled with deceptions. FFXI didn’t bring enough to stop the decline of the current game. Everyone is waiting for news about FFXIV. Mists of Pandaria can be summed up as bland. Other alternatives like Tera and Guild Wars 2 died quickly. At least for 2013 we have Seekers of Adoulin and FFXIV-2 to look forward to.

Random Image Threads
It’s a secret to no one that as BGers get bored with FFXI/FFXIV/WoW/Tera we’re slowly becoming yet another imgur/9gag clone. This year we saw 4 thre…

It’s now time for a review of the events that happened on BG in November.

First thing first it should be obvious that the new FFXIV trailer is on top of everything. If you didn’t watch it yet I don’t know what is wrong with you.

Beside that I guess I don’t have to repeat myself saying that the Random Image Thread is next in the list. And for the rest:
3. Anime - Sword Art Online
4. FFXI - Dorp XXV: wtf bynes.
5. FFX…

Welcome to another monthly report of BG in stats. This time I’ll try to focus on unusual trends going on in the community. This means no random images and no Gangnam style. Consider this the best of the worst.

Guardian Cross
Frankly, I’m not quite sure why this topic is so popular here but I guess our Square Enix fanboys need to keep themselves busy until the release of Seekers of Adoulin and/or A Realm Reborn. The game received bad reviews everywhere and the lack of any real PvP seems to annoy…

And now for September.
