Final fantasy 14 broke a record for a japan mmo. Might effect ffxi. Player base?.

at the very least bit XI still has a few years of life left in it so why not enjoy it while we can.

I can definitely agree with that.

It's been effecting FFXI's forums, too. Forum congestion here is directly linked to congestion being caused by all the activity on XIV's forums.

More specifically, as I'm on skype with 4 people playing, every type the XIV servers crash, or e.maint pops, the forums here floor ._..

Day before XIV launch, peak time had 1.7k people on my server. Day of launch, still had 1.7k, today, 1.7k.

FF14 already has effected ffxi game just look at the amount of players on your servers.

Q doesn't seem to be affected by FFXIV in the least. Normal pop. There even seemed like more than normal early this morning. It's probably due to everyone reactivating their FFXI accounts to pass the time because FFXIV is a total disaster right now for the NA/EU communities. "Early access" hasn't been early at all.

Sadly you can't ever fully test these things until the game goes live. Not many people are willing to give it their all in a beta only to lose the data. They might have set records for their beta but you can bet most people sat on their ass and checked out the graphics, maybe leveled to level 10 at most like I did. It's not until live that you get problems. It's to be expected. Doesn't change the fact that it's a disaster for FFXIV's fragile state with the world outside of Japan. Poor FFXIV. It never catches a break.

FFxi > FFxiv.

You know I really want 14 to succeed, but one thing I would like is if the 14 players that have jumped ship to leave us 11 players the hell alone already. Just because your done with 11 doesn't mean we are. Stop reminding us that you left and found "greener pastures" WE DON'T CARE.

If I wanna find information on 14 I know where to look, go talk about 14 in the 14 forums >.>

I find it sad that I now respect the opinion of WoW players regarding 14 than I do ex 11 players that for some reason or an other just wanna see 11 burn now that they have left

Well said. We really don't give a damn about FF14, it sucked once and it sucks now. The only difference is that we learned from the first mistake.

it sucked once and it sucks now.

The entire reason I have a problem with your posts on the subject...

[Kriegsgott]

all the drama about FF14 its so boring and always the same stuff cant FF14 just die on our FFXI forum ?

if anyone cares enough about FF14 i guess he gonna visit the other Forum or even playing this "awesome new piece of SE" or not ?

This, I had issue playing during early access every night, can't log in, got kicked out 10 min after logged in, then today just encountered version update check fail boot file issue...... I play on JP server, so it's not NA/EU only thing.

I ended up went back to XI because, SE just won't let me play the damn game. And I'm probably out after my account expire after 30 days if they're not giving me 1 more free month.

I saw around 2k players on my server when I log on tonight, about 200 less than 2 months ago, but it may not because of XIV, but because delve boss spam for months is getting boring.
