FF14 player count reached the lowest point in 4 years. We lost 75% of the playerbase.

The last month in which the player count was below 17100 was January 2021, which was Patch 5.45.



LuckyBancho confirms these numbers.



We haven't even gotten to the second patch and we already lost 75% of our playerbase.



But I guess those $5 Hilda hairstyles will single-handedly save this game.

We deserve it. While the population evolved in line with a succesful game (at the time) the game failed to evolve with them, and thus, lost the success. I have my doubts they will be able to turn this around by now. I think we're just in for a slow and long decline like XI.

That's why I do think 17 needs to be an MMO. The ship has too many holes to correct. Always had. It's a miracle it went this far.

I tried playing some PF content in primal late last night. Lmao, there was absolutely noone playing.
