How many players log on?

I just want to know how many players still log on? Except in Ul dah, not a lot of people on the map...Maybe we still got more people in FFXI then in FFXIV...at the beggining of the game, we have a tool for checking how many is online, but now, we can't. So SE, just tell us how many survivor we are...

I don't think we have enough. Seriously, if you have days where Nanawa Mines doesn't have Full Party behests, then there are certainly not enough people logging on anymore. =/

In Besaid, its always packed "as of late" between Nanawaawawa Mines and Broken Water usually, Horizon is packed every now and then, for some reason it seem like more people are coming on ( probably because they here about this crazy patch in mid-June) that they wanna prepare for it perhaps?

This next patch will bring forth the maximum amount of players that will log since the game's launch, im sure you can see the difference in the city.

There are so many new/existing players coming back on my server... This is a good thing for SE... To those servers whom might be dropping, maybe they are leaving to come to my server. We used to be the least populated server, and maybe we are as in account creations, but we are up there in active members.

Come June 15th or so, i bet the servers are going to be packed. :)

Well yeah, but even if the patch isn't out or not even if it has been announced, people will still feel an urge to prepare for the dungeons.

Populations still seem healthy and active on Mysidia and Wutai. I actually seen like a group of 6 doing Behest in Drybone the other night while I was crafting. And it wasn't a Ls pt, they all had different banners. So it seems the lower rank camps are picking up as well. Gridania and Ll still seem pretty left out though, as far populace is concerned. I do however notice that on mysidia more people do leves in gridania than on wutai. But that could probably just be mysidia having a bigger player count. More people- more likely to have people in all zones. I don't know.

I try not to log in more than once every 2 weeks and when I do it's relatively quiet. I just catch up with whoever I know that is around (/point Rentalhamster) at the time and call it a month.

I know a great many people have, as I've seen it put on these forums more than once, gone into a holding pattern of sorts while we await 1.18 and are currently off doing other things but watching closely all the while, and maybe spending some time on the forums. I think if 1.18 pans out (and the 1.18 "Final Straw" thread is a good indication of what may well happen if it doesn't) you'll see a return to more optimistic numbers.

The final straw is your opinion... The final straw is only when and IF the developers pull the plug. Otherwise there is always a chance to gain more subs, get new players etc... Too many people worry about others opinions, ignore those doomsayers. There are doomsayers everywhere, form your own opinions and do whatever makes you happy.

First, I have no idea what you're talking about. I said that the "final straw thread" was an indication of what may come to pass if 1.18 doesn't live up to expectations. I did not define what my opinion of what the final straw is or would be nor did I enter into a discussion of final straws. The fact that I used to term 'final straw' was merely a reference to the thread that contained a grouping of other people's opinions about the upcoming 1.18 update, and how the sentiments expressed there may have a negative effect on server populations post 1.18 if it isn't up to par and has nothing to do with a discussion on what constitutes a final straw. The use of the term was incidental to the reference to those opinions expressed. However, your untempered optimism is noted.

Second, this isn't a point about the prolific nature of doomsayers; I don't know what that has to do with anything either... my opinions and "whatever makes me happy" aren't important in this case. I can "do whatever makes [me] happy" all day long in a very low population server, but I assure you the attempt will be in vain.

p.s. I have my own well formed opinions shaped by what I hope is some introspection and analysis of the world around me and careful (perhaps even thoughtful? no.. probably not) consideration of the other views expressed on these forums. Yes, even those labeled willy-nilly as trolls. Are we to have our own opinions on some island of thought without any consideration of the views of others? Talking at each other instead of having conversations?

Thanks though.

p.p.s. Hi Rentalhamster and any HP member unfortunate enough to have sat through my post.

/sigh p.p.p.s. last edit I promise, apologies for the derail.

I have noticed an increase in gamers too, I never thought about the patches hype causing it.

I have noticed a lot of players on Mysidia, and it's a mix of new and returning players. I actually see people in LL and Grid, at a majority of the camps and just randomly as I do gathering. It's defiantly a noticeable difference on our server.

Palamecia is desolate.

It saddens me.

Packed? Hardly so. It all depends when you play but most nights, a behest won't have more than 4 people in it... 3 of which are in my LS

past 4 days I been having I been having trouble getting into a dang behest because of the amount of people within a camp, right now Currently in BW and theres like 25 people here :/, Yesterday in Nana mines during the day there was like 20 people in there could get behest ( I was doing leves anyways so it didn't make a difference), two days ago I was @ horizon ( gathering point for my LS on that day for a grind party) and there was a good 15ish people there. So with my observation and honest opinion, the server has picked up some

Edit: My Linkshell generally has 10 people or more out of 37 people currently right now its.. 10/38 during the day time over here
