Server Population

[Siviard]

Currently on Shiva, there are 740 logged on at 11:20pm CST (9:20 PST) and of that 740, I would say at least 1/4 are mules, with another 1/4 just standing AFK. Eliminate those, that's 370 active players. You can't do much of anything with 370 active players online.

I checked Bismarck population last night at three different times:

Around 6:00 PM PST (10:00 AM JST) - 650 to 670 players
Between 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM PST (12:00 PM to 2:00 PM JST) - Approx. 680 players
From 1:00 AM to 2:30 AM PST (5:00 PM to 6:30 PM JST) - 640 to 650 players

Approximate population back in March 2010 when we merged with Seraph:

At peak on a weekend - 3000 to 3200 players
At peak during a weekday - 2400 to 2600 players

When I returned to FFXI in April 2013, a little over 2000 players on a weekday.

So, as you can see, there was a sharp drop of players between the time Seekers of Adoulin was released (March 2013) to FFXIV ARR's release (August 27th.) and today.
