Wutai...server of the Dead

rly... wtf is going on, 3 ppl in LL not even moving.
Either im having a really boring day but... wth happend to all the players?

It's like there's 100 ppl max on the server ffs ; ;

SE, hate to kick ur bucket but... you have to do something soon.
Soon..... rigth now it looks too late >.<

Obviously I'm from Trabia, but it's exactly the same. All the city states seem lifeless, even Ul'dah at this point.

You play on EU time that is why LOL

idk... uldah is pretty active... limsa not so much....grid has no one

Forreal, there always seems to be people on when I'm on >.>

i must agree with Scarface and Klaus

EU kinda lacks a player base, even my UE LS members are not on anymore, its all the players from NA that we see

I'm EU but you'll only see me sitting in LL or Grid if I'm doing a local leve.

Lost quiet a few people due to the shutdown it seems. Hate to say it but i think this game might just be dead in the water right now. Sudden loss of player base added to the fact of trying to fix the game added to the fact there are "fixed games" out there, equals disaster?! I'm still hoping for the game to be great, but i'm having reservations of even logging in to waste my time on a game that could very well shutdown on any given day. Not to mention my friends seem to be disappearing...

LOL you're funny

FOOTAI !!!

Not worried people will come and go, the game is free and when they make the game more interesting people will come back. SE released FFXIV a year or 2 too early so don't be surprised if it takes them that long to get the game to where it needs to be.

One thing i learned about MMO's and games in general is it currently takes a long long time to develop a game that meets the current markets standard.

But SE will do it because MMO's are highly profitable after 4-5 years, and if they don't turn this game around they are going to lose alot of reputation. This is just my opinion

Several servers are in the same state if not all of them. They should seriously consider a merging the servers. Like they did with FFXI and say what servers will merge with what servers and what server will keep its name.

Although a server merge would be nice for the people still playing, it would be counter productive for SE because it would take away from development time and after a few updates get pumped out and people start returning they would have to reopen some of the closed ones. I doubt we would see a merge, however nice it would be.

Merging servers is also bad publicity, unless it's in a game's later years like XI currently. It sends a message that the game is dying.

I agree for the most part. But the game is dying and it is trying to be salvaged. It already has very bad publicity and one would think people would be more inclined to rejoin the game from an existing account if they knew that their server wasn't a ghost town.

Server looks like it took a 15-20% pop decline in the break to me. Inevitable consequence. Probably won't get all of those back until we get a hit regarding content update. It is what it is. Can't merge. Can't do anything but get back to work.

the point they are at "saving the game" witch as we all know, yet hate to admit, server merg would be good for us bad for game over all, they need to release content asap, a big patch would bring a lot back, that is about it, new team said they where doing this and that, i know, probably more then most, it takes time, but the time is now, this game is more dead then i have seen, time to put up or give up, ill be here to the end dun get me wrong, just saying the next person won't be, as we have seen, moscow is dead..... moscow is 3 LS's! 1 full, 2 more then half... dead... sad days!

if you play in Wutai server ... Uldah will be the most active city

A server merge will not happen until after PS3 release, if and when that happens.

People at work see this poster above my desk and say, "You play that game? Isn't that supposed to be, like, the worst Final Fantasy game ever?"

To survive, this game needs three things, in this order:

1.) Core gameplay mechanics fixed and fine tuned (battle, UI, economy, character progression)
2.) Content, story, and lore expanded
3.) PS3 version released to force the media to give the game a second look

Shortly before his departure, Tanaka said the PS3 version was "pretty much finished", which tells me that SE is (wisely) holding off on releasing it until they get the PC version to an acceptable point.

If SE announces world mergers, or decides to scrub the PS3 version completely, then and only then will we know the game is truly dead.

...Three guildleve resets and I still can't find a goddamn leve-linking party. :mad:

Len are u shouting in ulduh? cause if ur ranking ur 30s i know a lot of people that are doing the same

Server does seem quieter. Gridania is practically a ghost town and Limsa is just slightly more populated, although I did see a few new players recently.

I hope they don't get discouraged because of the apparent lack of people in their starting city. :/

One last thing. A portion of the changes in patches 1.17 and 1.17a are preparations for the mid- and high-rank PvE content planned for later release. As soon as we hammer out the basics of the new dungeon and raid environments, we’ll be throwing out some screenshots and introducing them to you.

ouch! well tomorrow ill be crafting/behest/leves on my 27 glad (caster stated though lmao) if u wanna join me

It's funny, i thought Wutai was one of the more populated servers. I play in EST afternoon-evenings though so that may have something to do with it.

I'd prolly have to agree with a few ppl in here that a Server merge would be best up until the devs
got things sorted out and wel hopefully save some power even further that way.

And i dont really care if the server changes name as long as i can be Noomy im good with Server merge.

From reading the forums it seems a lot of people are off playing other games, they havent totally given up on FFXIV yet but they dont want to play a broken game. It also seems that Yoshi-san is really bigging up 'Companies' as it comes with an impending threat to all of Eorzea. Hopefully that content will come in very soon, I think we may get some more info about it this week with a date next week for d/l which may bring more people back.

SE have a lot of content done, tested and ready but they are having to rebuild the basics so they cant implement that content yet as they dont know how it will react with the new battle system/UI etc etc. Hopefully once SE get the basics right and people are generally happy with them (you cant please everyone) then we might see large volumes of content being added. fingers crossed.

Square Enix still has many options and things to go from, they can lower monthly fee after game is solid, make an exclusive deal with microsoft because as some know they said FFXIV no thanks, that and ps3 users will be more then enough life for XIV. IMO

If they lower the fee, they would be paying us to play, its already free.
