Extreme increase in new players

probably a lot of mule boosting.

I was passing blackbrush other day helping a friend and it had like 3 people there, Drybone about 5, Today this morning i logged in at Drybone and it was empty.

I dont see it increasing much, i see a lot of people not going to limsa/grid more just stick it out in Uldah.

But I am assuming everyones just going xp/levelling crazy expecting SE to mess it up come june or they want a 50 for the dungeons. And then they'll be sad when they complete them in 1 day.

You can tell who is new and who is returning by searching them on lodestone. Old people have 7 digit id's all new accounts now have 8 digits.

Probably because when someone ask recommending a server here almost everyone tells them to start in besaid D:

lol.......

The starting camps have picked up in activity on Wutai as well. Nanawa has never been more packed, and is starting to look like it is being used as envisioned as a lowbie hub dungeon.

It's probably just a concentration thing as people learn where the best places to level and be are, the best places start getting packed as stray lowbies stop grinding on dodos and random parts of the world, and get with the program.

Then again, maybe the population is coming back a bit.

I'm seeing a lot of new players in Lindblum too. It's always nice seeing a new face.

haha im pretty sure that in june it wont be as easy to solo, and our charachters are going to be overall weaker, thus making it more likely that you will get less exp. But i have no proof, just seems like what will happen with the vague info we got on changes.

I see a little more players in trabia too! ^^
