How many people play FFXIV?

[Antipika]

Well the XIVpads thingy doesn't really reflect anything, I joined maybe 2 months ago, while being on XIV since alpha day 1. Stats will always increase on XIVpads, regardless of who is playing and who stopped playing. You can only register and almost no one will close his account if he stops playing.

Just seeing that Germany is the 2nd country in term of popularity makes XIVpads stats completely unreliable. I really doubt that there are more DE players than UK ones.

86,4% of internet statistics are made up on the spot fyi.

The game has been a steady seller internationally ever since the release. So I would assume that the base is growing little by little ever after the first few months.

Little by little players stops and become less active as well :s I know many linkshells who lost lot of members in the past few months. People comes back after patches, then leave again. Oh well we will see once billing will be there.
