FFXIV Population Grows

[Lium]

Not sure how this will be received here because forums are usually the worst place to post positive info, but SE just reported that the population for this game is growing.

I just have to say, from personal experience, that I just re-subbed to the game a few days ago and am once again having a blast. I don't think I'll cancel again. In fact, I cancelled my WoW account to come back here after the Allied Race debacle.

I was only a level 41 BLM when I took a break and am now 47. Looking forward to starting HW content! I'm certainly taking my sweet time to max level.

Edit: For those that don't want to actually drill down through a financial report, here's an article about the numbers.

I gotta say even on the forums I've noticed a lot of new people. Good to hear. I wonder how many are people coming back and how many are actual newbies.

Great, now if only SE would pump more money into the game so they can keep those numbers going up.

"Compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year."

May I, uh... not be surprised? They are comparing the period in which they released an expansion to one where an expansion has already run its course for a year or more. I'd be looking at it more positively if this was the end of 2018 report and the periods were actually comparable.

I have been seeing a LOT of new players running around in my server. I be like “Aaaawww, look at all the new sprouts!” X3 I remember when I was a freshman :’)

It’s good to hear that the game has been getting a lot of recognition. Despite the harsh criticism that this game receives, it’s still doing good.

If only we on Balmung could get new people, getting tired licking people's alts. They taste like stale bread.

More people need to transfer off of Balmung before it will ever open again.

I have actually seen larger groups of people in Limsa these days... doing absolutely nothing. Some of the other hubs are pretty much empty (Idylshire, Revenants Toll). But I only log in a couple of times a week and not for very long at this point in the downward spiral to indifference.
