Hahahahaha.

Really? Because almost no one is playing the game right now.

So are there gonna be like, fanboys popping out of the woodwork to pay for the game?

Because almost nothing minus almost everybody does not equal "more than you realize."

You're really confident that everyone is as gullible and willing to pay for a beta as you.

This is one of the more ignorant posts I have seen today. And that's saying something.

notice how willing you are to jump to the word fanboy
and how you obviously dont play often if you think the game is that empty(im seeing groups of 24+ people forming up to raid the strongholds quite often, and you cant do that on a small population game really)

yeah, not a beta, we have plenty of content for a launch game at this point

and ALOT of people are enjoying it, obviously you arent one of them which makes me wonder why you are even here too


as i write this im staring at a crowd of well over 100 players(unfortunately most of which are roleplaying)

Are you sure you are logging into XIV? I'm in Ul'dah right now and it is absolutely packed with people. I love how people who barely play the game seem to think they know what's up or that their opinion even matters.

To be fair, he could be standing in one of those other areas you could have started off in....what were they? Damnit....some tree place and a bunch of docks tied together...

Not on my server anyway. Even the other city states are loaded with people now.

"The cities have people in them, clearly the game is well-populated!"

Clearly people with little to no MMO experience talking. The WORLD is supposed to be packed with hundreds of people, with dozens of parties in every single zone. FFXI's zones were packed to the GILLS at all times. But be blind, be ignorant, and be volatile. That'll keep a community going.

People really need to stop comparing this to XI considering the huge differences. But if you must do so, here's an example:

Valkurm Dunes (cue collective moaning)

There were three GOOD lizard camps and one excellent gob camp that EVERYONE fought over. Why? Because there were only three GOOD lizard camps and one excellent gob camp.

Now let's take....Thanalan.

Thanalan is FREAKING HUGE. There are more camps than you can shake a staff at. This applies to every single zone you can EXP in.

XIV's world currently isn't going to be cram packed like XI because the areas are more expansive, the camps are more numerous, and the options for things to fight are greater.

Edit: I anticipate this to be a little better depending on how they choose to break down the areas into zones.

calling thanalan a "zone" is a very bad term for it

thanalan is a "region"

camp burnt brush is a "zone" and so on and so forth
