Fabul - a small community in Thanalan

The reason I mentioned Fabul possibly being one of the least populated worlds is due to the way that servers are listed on the character creation server. It appears (to me at least) that they are sorted by population, as the chocobo icons go in ascending order. Last bunch of times I checked, Fabul is one of the three or four "one chocobo" servers at the top of the list. It's been there for quite a while.

Regardless, an important question is whether the list is sorted by people currently online or the number of characters registered on the server. There are many different implications about our standing depending on which is used.

Now, I'm not saying that being on a low population server is a bad thing. In fact it can be good in many ways. I'm simply afraid that Square won't be sharing that opinion when they start making the "big" decisions about this subject.

Fabul's small(er) population was one of the things that attracted me to this server in the first place. It's easier to make a name for yourself when there aren't as many other people all doing the same thing.

Also, I think we're all looking at this the wrong way. rather than saying ours is one of the three least populated servers why not say that we're one of the top 18 most populated worlds?

Truth be told Fabuls low population is what drew us (my partner and I) to the server. However since the games mass player exodus Fabul has seemed to suffer in particular. I don't care so much for making a name for myself as I do seeing another living soul on two legs in the game as I run through the digital wastelands between cities.

That said I am more of a the cup is half full rather than half empty kinda guy and do believe the game will certainly be saved sooner or later. I just think (as aforementioned) giving some kind of migratory incentive to have new players strap on Fabulian made adventuring boots would be a good idea in the long run. Little advertising never hurts anyone. :)

Anyone having trouble finding people to play with on Fabul should take a peek at the Abaddon recruiting thread. We're extremely active (especially during US and EU prime time)

Oh I am oh so very very sorry. A thousand apologies for my deviations for this most linear and sacrosanct of threads.

at least the other threads were relatively on topic, your post is just spam

Shhh, stop whining about it. I was trying to move on - maybe you should too, matey. I'm sure you'd love to continue the verbal jousting over an innocent mishap but I'll pass :)

I also chose Fabul for low population and I don't regret it at all. There's no serious drama; people aren't trying to monopolize NMs; good level up spots are frequently available; etc. I know the M stands for Massively but I feel a better sense of community being able to know a larger percentage of the people I see around me.
