Well it's certainly not going up once they start charging.

Lol, your population will still probably be more then Melmonds. I am considering rerolling onto a different server if they don't bring around character transfer or server mergers how's your NA playerbase?

Something kind of interesting ..

I did a search for a party for 40-50 it only came back with 7 people 6 of who are RMT. /sigh

Hmm....SWTOR
Place in queue 1300 and the game isnt out yet

i wonder how other mmos are doing right now

How do people see what the number is over 200? Rab currently has more than 200 50s.

Have been averaging 700 outside of peak times on rabanastre.
guess its between 2-3k at peak times

By searching those within each individual Grand Company separately (as well as "none") and adding them up. :)

Check your Search Conditions... You searched those "In a Party" as well as having "None" for Grand Company.

If I did it right..676 on Figaro at 9:18p Eastern time zone.

So 600-700 is looking pretty accurate for EST prime time. So JP might be hitting 1000.

Istory @ 9:20pm EST / 2:20am GMT / 11:20am JP

maelstrom -117
adder - 136
flames - 119
none - 51

total - 423

The day after a major patch release with game still F2P. :/

look at the bright side..... it's still almost double of karnak. i posted little over 200 a few hours ago and has went all the way up to 256 about 15 min or so ago.

Melmond @ 9:41pm est
1-40: 107 players
41-50 191 players

total:298

are people using the new search feature to make PTS? That's one of the first things I did after update was put up party flag.

not sure but i think the early launch has started for that game and the preorders were crazy so thats prob accurate i know a few that have left for it already, me ive finally given up on this till jobs hit 1.21 ...1.20 not feelin it . hopefully they will redeem themselves when jobs come if not the wait continues for gw2 lol.

Pretty high for non-JP primetimes.

thats kind of an insane leap dont you think? 700 then it gets up to 3,000? Double 700 maybe, but 2000-3000 sounds like crazy talk.

Right now on Besaid:

1-10: 27
11-20: 52
21-30: 65
31-40: 93
41-45: 41
46-49: 34

50 maelstom: 118
50 twin: 75
50 flames: 20
50 none: 16

Total: 541

To make a note FFXI Ragnarok server have like 700-100 no not pre time and 1600-2000 on pre time jap or usa.

people who dont set their status as online lfg or in party wont appear in the search I think

This game is dead.
Blame the team leader.
V2.0? We'll see.

Implying that the game was alive once?

This seems to be some grand revelation to some people- this game has no players!

Let's not add more stress by stating that has been the case for the whole year- only not obvious at all due to SE's scheme to take out the world search! Who could have figured this out without it?

I knew server pop was low, but some of these numbers are slightly shocking. 200-900 players on a server? Should be interesting when they start charging, and by interesting I mean awful.

900 is actually a good number, these servers arent that tough, i remember at launch 1500s on mysidia was enough to cause unbareable lag everywhere, and nothing to kill, then again unbareable lag was common back then.

900 being the high-end I've seen so far. I wish I could be optimistic about it, but I know these numbers are just going to drop further come Jan. An MMO just isn't much fun without a lot of people IMO.

this is true, i think if everywhere was 900 it would be decent, 200 and etc is pretty low, and there will be less in jan definitely, however, if the game does improve people will notice and give it a shot. In truth i forsee the next few months being tough times

I'm a huge fan of the game, but the population in the game is pretty pathetic, tbh. I can only imagine how much of a decrease it will see after January.

At worst, the numbers will stay the same but the no. Of servers will be reduced. No reason to sweat it in all honesty.

People are getting laid at this time. Can we please stop with the server merge crap please.

I can't fathom WHY a server merge is a bad idea?
What is wrong with trying to get people to play together?

They should at least let players re-select which server they want to join and eliminate several servers after payment starts. There is no point in letting people play in a server with about 200 people max.....especially if we're paying monthly fees.

Lindblum at 9:30 PST Friday Night
Lv 1-30: 129
Lv 31-45: 151
Lv 46-49: 66
Lv 50: 147+129
Total: 622

Looks like 500-700 is pretty consistent, though I'm pretty sure I missed primetime by an hour or two.

973 on besaid at 11:00 PM

Tried looking up via breakdown of GC and none but all 3 GC were over 200 so I had to break the search down by levels to get the #s.

616 at 1am EST on Besaid.

i never seen more than 56 people in all areas, i sure its broken since my link shell was most of the population lol

These numbers won't be getting any better once billing starts. Again reinforcing why billing now is a mistake. This game seems to be two bad desicions for every good one made. I hope they can make more progess on it in 2012 then they did in 2011.

u do know they have merged servers 2-3 times right? lol pretty soon its gnna be 1 server left on that game

When the game goes to the ps3 all pops will go up just as much as ff xi is at

if you guys are trying to figure out server populations just remember

not everyone is always logged in, and its only a fraction of people logged in at any given time(by fraction i mean doubling the peak hours isnt your pop either, your peak hour pop is still only gonna be 10-20% of the max pop at most)


sure this doesnt put the game pop much higher then some of the higher estimates, but you are looking at around 50k people at least still playing as of right now
as of next month, i predict we get at least 75% of the pop to stay
