(/cheer) Things are looking up in Karnak (/cheer)

I can tell a noticeable difference in the amount of old & new (yes, new!) players on our server lately. While I was all doom & gloom as recent as a few days ago about the future of Karnak, I can honestly say that it seems well on its way to recovery from the shutdown :D Just last night I met 4 brand new players while doing behests/crafting in Ul'dah and also ran into many old faces that hadn't been on in a while. I think we can all take a sigh of relief that this once thriving community will soon get back to being one of the best servers in the game :cool:

Nice to hear some new people arriving in Karnak! I wish more would come to Gridania since me and the npcs are lonely. Haha jk, but I do wish Limsa Lominsa and Gridania would gain enough people to seem busy alongside Uldah being the busiest of the three.

Come on SE bring us player-enticing activities next update!

Haha, I know what you mean. When I strolled through Grid last night for my master LW buff I only noticed 4 or 5 white dots on my mini map...that's an improvement from my usual though zero lol. A lot of people's computers have trouble there, I know Michael & I are among them (we crash constantly as soon as we arrive). So I can understand it being a little less populated...not sure why Limsa is so desolate though. It was my favorite area in the game before everyone migrated to Ul'dah. I may give it another shot tonight actually, I'm tired of looking at the desert...

I bet if I snuck up on you I'd find you talking out loud to the npcs, full fledged conversation with emotes & everything lol. Just like Will Smith in "I am Legend" when he's in the video store lol.

I'm surprised one of the bigger linkshells hasn't decided to "take over" Gridania/Limsa. Would be kind of cool to have a whole city filled with nothing but your shell.

Haha I don't talk to them, but I should be able to start a linkshell and be able to invite them! I would call it "The Standstills".

hello i just recently started playing about 2 weeks ago and started in Karnak because i like how it sounds (car) nack he he if you see me out in the field say hi just got the game down and wanting to start socializing some and grouping with people you can usually find me fishing and stewing alchemy out near one of the water holes around horizon camp

Hi Darrk, welcome to Karnak! If I see you around a "hi" will be sent to you. ;)

This is great stuff to hear!

Do we know any websites that report on server capacities?

I don't know of any, but Karnak has a very large growth rate for the time being and I'm lovin it! Welcome to the shell and the server!

there are some around but i dont remember what they are

Recently came Back and it must have been pretty dead before I came back because I don't see as many people as there were. Game plays a lil better. I guess you still can't have more than 1 ability bar up or enlarge or shrink? I still find the UI clunky at best but I like the general direction of the game now. It still has a long way to go but it at least it is working on the fun factor.

I have always been a sucker for a FF game with the exception of FFXI and that was because FFXI was the reason for Everquest Online Adventures getting the axe. Yeah I know it still on life support but SE made a deal with Sony if they were to license the FF game to them they had to no longer develop any more EQOA expansions. That didn't sit well with me because I was a big EQOA fan. Anyway time heals all wounds lol. Nice to see this game becoming fun. Say hello especially if you ever played EQOA for PS2. See you in game!

seems like mysidia has fill up some too. it also may be that everyone is tired of dungeons and ranking lowers classes again though.

things will continue to fill in. especially after PS3 release. the more the merrier, although if they can only come out with a workable "Seek Party" system, the server might start coming together more.
