FFXIV Population Grows

Finally some good news among the complaints

I know right. I'm so glad to see more players and to have seen this positive thread! I'm a v1.0 /legacymark returner! And I'm soo happy to have returned. Even though it's been like 2 months now. XD newbies and returners the more the merrier!

Unless said player filters tells out of their current tab.

I'm also a returning 1.0'er and after taking an extended break during 3.3 for over a year I returned late last year and have a renewed appreciation for the game. It's nice to see the starting nations alive and well with new and returning players, I was actually surprised with how alive the game still was after reading a lot of negative opinions of SB online.

No game or expansion is perfect, but I've honestly read only positive things about SB. I tend to take everything on an MMO's official forums with a HUGE grain of salt because they are usually overwhelmingly negative, regardless of the game. At least in NA.

I guess it's kind of similar to real life, in a way. When you visit a city you see how wonderful it is. When you live in a city you see its problems.

This is great news! I just hope new folk are turned off by the MSQ gates but other than that, they should have fun!

I tried getting a few friends interested in the game recently, and sadly this was the factor the hated they most. Knowing how many story quests there are and how boring some of the starting ones can be, I completely understand though.

I know its not a popular option

Debacle may have been a strong word. Not really a debacle. It's just that WoW introduced new playable races for their next expansion. But instead of just being included with the price of purchase, you have to do a rep grind to unlock them. It's like something EA would do. You pay 50 bucks, then grind for the next month or so to play them. So I noped it out of there.

And as much as I'm having fun here, if SE ever does anything like that, I'd cancel this account too. Grinding is a part of every MMO. But grinding for basic stuff, or especially a playable race or class (jobs here) that you have to pay real life money for, is over the top.

Sound like they're giving people something to do in the time between the expansion release. 6+ months? It's not like after 12 years a faction rep grind is a shocking revelation.
