Server Population

[Shirai]

And yet. some stated that ff14 wont affect ffxi at all, they are wrong

While I agree with you about the people saying XIV won't affect the XI population, FFXIV is not the biggest reason why FFXI's population is shrinking as it is.
If you take the time to actually read a few more topics on this forum you will see that the cause of the decline is far deeper rooted and diverse than the release of a new MMO.

If anything FFXIV gave people the last push they needed to quit.
