FFXIV Server Suspension Day 2: The Return of Day 1

Playing Pokemon to deal with the downtime with my LS, it's keeping us all in contact with one another during what could soon be a prolonged downtime.

yeah because I keep making new threads about it right? Also did yoshi-p give you the inside info that the company wouldnt be moving the servers or are you going by what they did last time this senario happened?

You do know a disaster could befall anywhere right? Moving servers does nothing -- All it does is say if something goes wrong the other side of the world can play happily.

Fixed this.

I cant blame you for this. I think you wont be the only one. SE needs to be moving those servers ASAP. Lets get this game up and running again before a large percent of our laughable 31k population finds some other MMO to entertain them.

Looking for Baal?

I have 0 facts to back up this figure, however it is the most used figure I have seen in the past month or so BUT it could be completely wrong.

The most recent comprehensive piece of research is the following chart for the last day of January – showing from left to right, the server, the server population as a percentage of Cornelia (the benchmark server), the estimated active daily players, and the estimated number of alt or mule characters (57% of the total):

ff14-stats-1

This suggests an estimated active daily unique player population of only 17,776.

The total active character figure of 31,150 can safely be ignored as the last official unique player count was 22,000, back in November (the same day saw Cornelia counted at 4019 using the unofficial method) – with players reporting virtually deserted servers, it is safe to say the collapse reflected in the numbers is real.

More recent statistics only exist for Cornelia – although some simple calculations allow an estimate of the current population to be arrived at; for the last week of January the average was 2086, and for the most recent week of March the figure is 1850.

This 12% decrease suggests the total active population has decreased somewhat to 15,500 or so – a mere third of the peak numbers reported.

the most recent stats on population i can find.

Last night i downloaded FFIX and Metal Gear Solid for my PS3. I think ff9 could be my favourite, took me straight back to 2001, amazing.

Good choice.
I just received my copy of Tactics Ogre Remake for PSP. Didn't have the chance to play it yet (lunch... firmware update... battery... some more firmware update...), but I'm really excited. Many ppl told me that it's an awesome game \o/

I dunno why FF9 was so poorly received i thought it was a fantastic game and the ending was awesome.
