30-40k players is about average for a Standard MMO..

Granted this is a "AAA" MMO, but never the less 40,00 players is pretty decent for a failed game.

for SE's sake, its a damn embarrassment. Like he said, their almost 10 year old game has around 200-300k players...and that game went to shit last year...and still it blows this game out the water...AND they get to charge full price lol.

200-300k is a bit high for XI.

My server atm has 1222 and at peak around 3.7k (And its a server that has never been merged lol) So to over-estimate an total; even if there was 10k people per server that is only 160k players. And i hugely doubt each server has 10k active players.

Please, do some common-sense-Math first.

Abyssea killed a lot, and recently the "game going in the wrong direction" is killing it even more. Their forums are no happier than ours, with threads to just state that FFXI isn't winning any popularity contests.

It seems only Yoshi wants to make a game people want to play, rather than a game they want to make XD, thats my personal opinion tho lol.

yours has not been merged, so yours is likely on the smaller end. My friend who re-joined the game last night did a /sea at 10pn EST and saw 2.6k people on (Asura, which was merged). Also according to the 2011 census that the there is quite a jump at each regions prime time http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/gui.../10/index.html

your math say 160k...which is pretty damn close to 200k...which STILL is massive compared to this game. Btw how was i supposed to do "common sense math" without knowing peak #s of all servers? oh wait....thats you just trying to be an arrogant ass...

Maybe if they didn't make paying so hard to do.... The payment options make it look like they don't even want us to play this game.
