Where is everyone?

The lobby server says, "Hold a moment, please! I can only send out so many requests without errors!" and sets you up with a lobby session and queue number. At the top of each minute, it checks for vacancies in worlds, then starts processing through as many people out of the queues as it can, limited both by space in each world and order that you contacted the lobby server. If both conditions are good--there's space on your world, and your turn has come up in the lobby--then it's load screen city for you!

Anyway, no doubt that I could be misinterpreting the description of how they have their system set up, but I believe that is roughly how it works.

ETA: I am amused by the fact that I had to work around a typed character restriction to discuss character log in restrictions, and I find that I must say so. :D

So you're leaving the game, and why are you here for?

Worth continuing to pay for the endgame? Absolutely not. Heck, I'd call it less endgame and more postgame.

Yeah, They did an amazing job revamping this game, but I really wish they had built in some cool meta games from the start. Chocobo breeding, maybe player owned airships. Actually, I think my perfect MMO would be FFXIV with the voxel based world and exploration/construction that EQnext is promising. I am still really enjoying FFXIV though.

This is called a projected expectation. YOU don't like it so you think others don't like it.

My FC still has 400 members or more, and still has 100+ logged in most of the time, which has been about the same for a week or more. Take that for what you will.

Drop into Mor Dhona or Coerthas and you will uncover a rats nest so large you will wonder why you ever doubted the presence of others in the first place OP. lol

the first week would definitely kill their subs, too many server problems and the 2nd week or so were filled with more problems, lag that people should have noticed ages ago and the introduction to AK queues. I imagine titan hurt the casual EU crowd that has to deal with worse latency as well.

Also the 401 and 601 error when paying the sub that we 1.0 players got and many just said forget it after 3 days of not being able to pay.
Many 2.0 players will hit this wall also.
Many 2.0 players have never had this kind of technical problems that FFXIV has and will leave.
Ant his is not "Projected" Expectations i can guarantee this is a fact.

You guarantee huh? Based on what? I'm still encountering queues every time I log in and every zone I'm in is packed.

I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes.
