    I want to say Siren population is probably about mid-ranged. I wouldn't freak out if you see few players in a major city. There are days when crowds are light, and days when it is heavy. Find the Odin, Behemoth, or Svara FATEs and you will see how quickly a massive amount of players will converge. What it does lack in player population though it makes up for with kindness. Just about everyone is friendly and helpful.

    I don't PvP so i can't tell you much there, but there is no shortage of players who run PvE content. FFXIV is no different from most MMOs where DPS classes have longer queue times than tanks and healers, but gripes come more from people leaving once in a group rather than having troubles finding them.

    You can definitely level everything on one character. The only limit is your inventory space, which once you hit level 50 will explode.

    The glamour system is pretty awesome, it does have it's limit though. For instance, something that is specific for MNK can't be glamoured onto something that's specific for WAR. It also goes back to my second response, since inventory can quickly becomes an issue if you glam too much stuff. There's still some tweaks SE can do here to help making the glamour and inventory systems a little more manageable.

    Welcome to Eorzea and to Siren! My name is Gemina, send me a /tell if you see me around.

    I would think keeping an ear out for hunts would be a better indicator that the FATEs. But I guess also those two cover kinda two different level ranges. (and also I'm on very low pop Mateus, my observations may be biased)

    And if you think about it, there are 4 major towns, 2 busy outposts, and 36 seperate housing hubs that people might end up spending their "town time" in, and thats when they arent "in the field" at one of the dozens of quest hubs or dungeons. So of course people will be a little spread out. But the right content will bring them back together like Gemina said. And in my experience, Odin is exactly that sort of content. I also play on a mid-pop server, and even in the middle of the night if he starts wandering the shroud it isnt unusual for 3 or 4 dozen people to show. The last time i was on during primetime and he appeared there may have been 200+ people by the time he fell. So many corpses.
