Was thinking about it.
But I've got personal attachment to the first few screenshots.

What a fun conversation to read. Lol.
Also, Gramul, for the record, you're my favorite poster here on these forums. I am a fan.
Oh and to the OP, might wanna take a gander here. You've a lot of catching up to do.
lol durandal is a popping server,
aegis has alot of people.and like people mention, most are out doing stuffs or achievement rather than just afk in town wasting time. we only got 2 month left before this version closes, and alot people have goals to do. hamlet, relics, behest, leveling, craft, gather, earn gil and more. I see people at almost everywhere i go be it na eu or jp timezone. But most populated will be the jp timezone where even ifrit extreme and such can have the " unable to proceed due to server congestion" messages =p if you been away that long, chances are you need slowly make new friends and mix around. and yea 2.0 in future will ahve more people and chance to transfer again if it be better for you. The game has changed alot in the past 9 months you been away, and it get more exciting as 2.0 draws closer =p.
Aegis has a ton of people, I always see the max of 40 people displayable in Uldah :p
You need to catch up on the news. Figaro is nowhere near dead lol. At any rate, the servers are going down in about 2 months to make way for 2.0 (new engine, servers, etc.) Also, Yellow Gremlin (which supported more games than just FFXIV such as Conan, PWI, etc) sold their domain name to a Youth Group. If you want FFXIV info now, gamescape and mooglebox do the job nicely.
Nothing is crashing.
might as well stay gone till january
