Lack of 'server community' in FFXIV - a nostalgic perspective

[Valkyrie_Lenneth]

I don't have a solution for it, or have a solid notion of what the cause is even, but yes community in MMOs in general feels lacking. People are not very talkative these days.

Combination of Free Companies, Linkshells, and Discord.

I don't think people are less social, I think they are just more social in private chats.

Hunts are probably the biggest server community, and for a very long time, and probably still today, hunt communities are very toxic.
