People still here?

So I was gone for the past 9 months after playing since Beta(like it matters). I just noticed that there are not a whole lot of people around anymore. So does anyone know how many people are playing this game now? Aegis (my new server transferred from Figaro) seems pretty dead compared to when I left. I also see that the Yellow Gremlin site(a major site supporting FFXIV info) is now gone too. Things crashing?

You clearly haven't been paying much attention.

The world is about to end and we're all going crazy.

The apocalypse will be here soon, here take this:

You have received a tin foil hat and a shiba inu.

Here we go with the Doomsday stuff x.x. I'm going to laugh when Dec. 22nd strolls around and were all still alive! XD

So you both are saying that since the game is changing that no one wants to play?

There are lots of people on my server actively playing....

I just realized they were talking about the Dec 22 crap.

Ehm...no. We are saying that you might have been online during a weird time or in a weird place because right now the game has more players than ever and even lots and lots of people outside the game are going nuts over the fastly approaching 2.0 version of FFXIV :)

Okay, basically, we're getting rid of the old game by crashing the spare moon into it, and getting a new better game in its place.
They're doing it because the game sucks the way it is. We're getting a new engine, new world, new UI, and all sorts of nonsense.

Like jumping.

Odd time as in right now? I have been on for the past hour in Uldah. Not very many people here O_o.

I don't think he realizes that most people don't AFK in town as much anymore.
They AFK inside their inns.
People are also mostly out doing things now that there is content to do.

These things can make the game appear like there is no one playing compared to how it used to be with Ul'dah being extremely over packed. (Even though it kinda still is on my server)

Well I'm not playing on Aegis so I can't say for sure but last time I checked Ragnarok (the one I'm playing on) had the SMALLEST population, making Aegis more 'active' than Ragnarok which is already full of people (only during EU times though since it's mainly a EU timezone server).

When I said weird time I meant maybe Aegis became very japan time based since everyone could decide where to go to when the servermerge happened. If your server has mainly japanese players now it wouldn't be weird for most of them to be logged off right now and working since it's in the morning already :)

That would suck.. how can we change servers now? I don't wish to re-roll. I have 43 ppl in my linkshell and only 1 is on and he has been afk since yesterday.

Don't go panicking yet, like I said already, I don't play on Aegis so I don't know if that's the reason, it's just a possibility :)
Maybe people just went to bed early since it's Monday tomorrow and they will have to get up early for work?^^°

In case I was right though you can't do much about it right now because you can't change servers anymore at least until 2.0 hits this winter.

We should be able to change servers again when 2.0 comes around, but until then there is no way to move.

9 months is quite a while and people come and go. You may need to get out and meet people who are playing now if your Linkshell has gone quiet.

I hear wedding bells... lol

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
