How bad will the servers be once ffxi is back up?

[Starcade]

Everyone will be logging in at the same time, I hope it doesnt get too hard to log in!

Abyssea is going to be... rather crowded. Everybody's going to have stones. (At least 10. People with 3 abyssites are going to have about 25 more, at least, than they had when they shut down.)

and there's me with my 502 T.stones last count...

lol I doubt the population will be low at all. We NEED our fix!

Some will want to log in asap, many others won't have as much urge to log back in after quite a long break due to having other stuff to do now or being involved in other MMOs. Many others won't even know the servers are back online, quite a large number of players never check the net for FFXI information and possibly have no idea why the game is down so won't keep checking if the game is back up all the time. All that added to the situation for Japanese players.

Yeah the servers will be pretty quiet when they do put them back up, not as quiet as the FFXIV servers but still pretty slow.

All the crazies with foamy mouths and crazy expressions will get in first. Then the normal people will walk in to a hump fest of crazies and the norm thinking, "Why do I still play this game?"

I am proud to be one of these "Crazies"
