Request for SE to post -OFFICIAL SERVER STATS-

[Renshi]

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...25-in-4-months

So apparently people do care, and whether or not you care is essentially irrelevant. And its a good time now because if they show the patch had got a lot of people returning to the game then 100s of trolls on these forums can't spam negative comments about how the game is dead or how no one likes the patch.

I mean I get that SE makes it look like the end of the world is coming in Eorzea but I'm pretty sure they don't mean it literally! And a lot of people on these forums seem to think they do!

edit: also why be so rude as to say "shut up". If you don't like the post don't read it or don't comment it. No need to act so immaturely.

I wonder if people has ever clicked that link's link to discover that... those are only stats about Cornelia server
Nah, not gonna tell ya.

Anyway, having an exact statistic about how many players play in each servers, how many accounts haven't being used for at least 1 month,...
All bullsh*t! I just wanna play the game, learn its story and have fun. I need no statistics!

It won't happen.

1) If they did it and the numbers were on the low end of the projections, it could cause further exodus and they need beta testers.
2) If they showed how badly it was doing it would further demotivate everyone, and you know sites out there would call it even more of a failure than they already are.
3) Its SE.. if anything they'll just say "we're looking into it".

Hell i don't care. Granted i don't play. I did login yesterday as i was bored. Ran for about 10 minutes before i questioned my sanity and logged off. Didn't see a single person running around.

I'm just hoping my $70 investment in SE will actually provide me with some entertainment at some point. Well beyond reading the threads on here and laughing.

I don't really see any reason doing this. But there's not really a good reason not to either.

So again, how does this affect your current enjoyment of the game? Do you need something to be popular to like it?

Uhm do you think the game will stay on just for you and the people you care about in the game? If the game doesnt have a certain population sometime soon it will be shut down. If it is losing subs as F2P what do you think will happen when they try to charge for it? so in turn i must ask, How does your enjoyment of the game effect its Life? No one is going to care you and your LS enjoy it when they go to pull the plug, if that happens which hopefully it doesnt. But hell these numbers could help us jump off the ship sooner so we dont waste our time.

And no one is asking for it to be popular, hell 11 was niche as they come. We would just like the populations to be healthy so we can actually have a game to log on to. Has nothing to do with popularity. You need to sit down and remember this isnt a game made to be F2P and they are bleeding money right now to keep this game afloat. It it fails any more it will be deemed not worth it to continue developement and SE will just plug pull and head to the next endeavor, still raking in money from an mmo they made a decade ago almost.

That wasn't my question, nor did you even come close to answering it.

Nah, as other have stated it would only serve one purpose: fuel for the trolls.

And that's it. Personally I have no use for the stats, and in the short time I have playing I have seen more players that I taught there would be (I had really low expectations). That's just my personal opinion of course

[badabing]

Why do u need them to show population lol? to keep you playing? If you dont like it quit if you enjoy it play it and you wouldnt worry about population. Almost every thread on the forums is negative just because people like to complain and they all expect the game and the developers to do exactly what that individual wants. God forbid you dont always get your way..

[Xatsh]

Showing the server population would cause monstrous negative press. That is something this game does not need more of atm.

[Rinsui]

Hey. Is it just me or did the post detailing current server populations just get removed from the general forum's thread list?

Edit: Whoops! Now it's back again. Strange.

[Azurymber]

I thought this dev team had implemented changes that were turning the game around?

If no one is coming back to play with all the changes then isn't that pretty well admitting the game is dead?

I don't think thats true. I mean a lot of people say they see lots of people on their server. So it shouldn't be fuel for trolls if the game has a healthy population like many people on here argue it does.

Unless the game really is dead.....
