Server Merge

[predatory]

I just took a couple month break and came back to Phoenix and noticed a considerable drop in the amount of american time zone players. (I.E. searches in Port Jueno are below 200 and Adoulin looks considerably less populated.) I've been doing a pickup shout here and there but that has slowed way down as well. I'm not saying that FFXI is dead, but the playerbase is dwindling and Phoenix could use a boost in numbers.

If merges are going to happen the issue below needs to be addressed


I realize that the fan boys will rush to say join an active linkshell that does events, but come on guys you have to be noticing what i'm saying here. I'm in an active linkshell and we are seeing membership numbers dropping. The population poses a serious problem and you need a way to boost it and support the increase in population numbers. Without that, the numbers will fall at an increased rate as the population goes lower.

I'm sure there are several other factors that need to be considered, and if another server beside Phoenix has a healthy american time zone population let me know. I don't mind transferring to it. I mainly play between 9 PM CST and Midnight CST.

Thank you,

Usually between 900 and 1200 players on bahamut, and I have a friend on asura and he tells me they have a few more there, (we send messages occasionally asking the other person to do a /sea all), not what it used to be, but it's still playable. I'm not a fanboy (you seem to toss that word around alot), but like you said, find an active shell, or start one would be even better, shout to fill it with the kind of events you want to do, and you will find people of like mind, or you can QQ about needing more people and getting nothing done.

Oh and btw you can believe I'm not a fanboy, the community reps removed one of my posts that told matsui just what I think of him and his direction for this game, just because someone tells you to find a shell or start a shout or whatever doesn't make them a fanboy it makes them a realist. It's like real life, if you want to get something done you have to make it happen, and yes I'm one of those shouters, and yes I started a linkshell that got a lot of people stuff they wanted to do done, so you may call people like me fanboy, but we call people like you welfare queens, keep that in mind when you're handing out derogatory names

you are a hypocrite, you just moaned about population issues on the nyzul isle topic, because of lamp floors... well guess what start shouting for nyzul isle then if you think the population is so healthy for you and lamps are an issue for you, since you are giving the same advice to tumz!

Actually I started that thread so the assclown that started this thread might get a dev response. I could give a shit less about Nyzule Isle but apparently the guy that wrote the thread I linked to thought it was important so I told him I'd start a thread for him and I did, but here let me refresh your memory

And, well, yup, you'll probably get the same amount of attention from the devs that you would if you walked into any business and spouted off like that, here let me start a thread for you and maybe we can get a dev response
