Any countermeasures planned for declining player population?

[Jile]

1393 people online at 3:30pm on a Sunday here on Phoenix. I'd also like to avoid another merger.

SE needs to get off their butts and start marketing this game again. Its age is irrelevant because its still a good game at the core. Without advertising and putting out game disks (almost nobody has a copy of ffxi regardless of format) it's obvious SE is intentionally phasing out this game - really no other way to look at it.

Yes, we need new real zones/mobs/missions regarding those new zones.

It's depressing to come online, see 5 out of 70 friends made over the last 6 years are online - the rest have honestly retired due to lack of enjoyable content.

Please SE - add new content. Market this game again - keep new money coming in for your dev team and no new mergers if they can be avoided. Sell us a new expansion at the level of ToAU, even if it takes a couple years you can add it to the plans and string us along for years with just a promise of new content.

Or, do nothing. Ignore us. Watch our servers average users continue to drop and tell yourself "meh, it was gonna happen anyway'....



I want to walk into a new zone and well... lol, feel like this Taru:
