How many people play FFXIV?

[ChiefCurrahee]

i only played wow for 2 months so i don't think that would be a problem for me(new), the bigger thing is population and content. and while u keep thinking the game will be better without me but i would of been one of the players that stayed for 5+ years like i did in ffxi. so i'd say your wishing gonna bit you in the butt when this game becomes desolate and void of real players and your only hope is 2.0 that still has a very good chance of flopping 6months later.

If that means I'll never have to read a post from you again? /hurray.

What the meaning behind a large population in SWTOR? That you can rest easy that you picked the "right" MMO? that you'll have an active chat box while you SOLO your way through the game? Congrats!

Ver 2.0 might not recover FFXIV, but at least we won't have to suffer any more of you, in our future.

You're not exactly a ray of sunshine either.

good luck with that since i plan on playing this game off an on too since i have the time too, so you'll probably hear tons of complaining on how people like you are ruining all mmo's not just this one. no matter what mmo im on i'll always be saying the same things cause as you can see companies like turning all there mmo's into the same copy paste and i think we all have the right to show our concerns.

and the point behind a large population on a thread about server population is simple, ffxiv doesn't have it. the biggest thing about playing a mmo is joining up at launch so there are millions of people all at the same levels running a muck together. it's what really clenches the love for a mmo that keeps me there for years, how many mmo's have you played after it's been out for over a year and half there zones are empty? probably none ..least none that you stayed with.

fact the reason they building these mmo's way to easy is for that reason most likely, and why they let people powerlevel and so forth ..push you to where the .. check this out ... "population" is. i was just using swtor as a example of how a mmo should look like for the first few years at the very least. i could of used ffxi, it was packed. the dunes ..i loved the dunes ..party on every piece of sand in the zone, every zone after that the same. people all running from npc to npc's doing quests and missions. all things swtor had and ffxiv has not had since first month.

also maybe you should quit with the insults since it's obvious you have no real constructive criticism outside you being some wannabe white knight that thinks i can't have my own opinions on the matter. Your future is dim, enjoy what you get.

wait.... you're complaining of MMOs being copy paste, yet you're singing the praises of starwars, which is a blatant rip off of warcraft. Dude take off your blinders and realize what you're so excited for is basically a reskin of a game that came out almost a decade ago.

You should hop off that hype wagon you're riding. I'm not saying FFXIV is the best MMO. I'm saying that this community will be better off with out people who nay say the future of FFXIV. Newsflash for ya, FFXIV doesn't need a million subs to be successful. Nope. I'm sure SE will be operating the game at a loss for the majority of it's lifetime. But if they can launch a solid PS3 version and keep true to their vision of 2.0 this game will be just fine with it's own niche crowd. You don't need 11 million other people to tell you: "yes this is the game to play". Guess what I disagree with the 11 million people who are hooked on WoW, it's a POS game.

SWTOR is just like wow. how do i know? I PLAYED THE BETA!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you wanna discuss starwars go do it on their forums, keep that garbage out of here.

stop forcing me to defend a game like swtor, reread my posts in this thread an stop flipping my words around. one excited is a far long cry from anything i've voiced in this thread. two, when i say copy paste i mean..simply.. if one mmo does well others will copy, so i think we all need to voice our opinions on any game your playing. three. who cares if the game was a reskin wow, i already said i never played wow more then 2 months, it's a new game to me. i was only using swtor as a example of population. and reread i also mention ffxi and why i love high populations. also i don't really need to throw facts or defend any game, the numbers talk and it's words say you fail good sir

War Hammer was there from beta, fact this pc is built for this game...if you showed up past the first year you already missed the greatest time the game had. the game went to crap after that. as for the rest i dont' think you stayed cause your hear playing ffxiv less your still playing them you left quick. i played ffxi for 5years and what i was expecting from ffxiv too.

[I]i'm just speaking my opinion, it doesn't matter what you think, playing on empty servers isn't my idea nor the idea of many people who play mmo's, i would rather play 20bucks a month for gamefly if that was what i liked and play offline all day. i don't "need" 11million people to tell me a game is good, i want a game server full of players, and like i said just like ffxi had. this games niche player is people like me, so get off your high horse.

[I]that's nice, i been playing this game everyday since it's beta 10+ hrs a day, i'm sure a locust like you that runs threw every mmo that's come out in past few years is just there kind of niche group they looking for.

i'll discuss anything i want, where i want. long as i don't screw with the guild lines and obviously i wasn't cause see, this was a thread on server population and that was what i was talking about not how great swtor is ..a game i don't have any intention on playing long term. but like i said i will have way more fun there then on empty servers here. i didn't screw up a launch se did, so keep on galloping away at me cause i remind you that your precious game will probably crash and burn. se don't need you to come to there protection they have mods for that so why don't you stop twisting words and tossing insults where they don't belong.
