Request for SE to post -OFFICIAL SERVER STATS-

[darkstarpoet1]

While I agree knowing the real player numbers helps me in my argumentation against white knights, I do not think SE should release official player numbers right now. It won't make the game any better, and in contrast to what people believe I have no interest in doing damage for damage's sake. They are hiding the truth, and any moron could have figured that out last October. But at the current point I can't help but agree with them.

As long as guys leak info from inofficial sources, people are still able to doubt their validity and hope that they might be wrong. But once things go official, this forum would lose a lot of its fanboys; which would see it degenerate into a bog of negativity - and mean there's less people to have fun with for me.

it wouldn't matter if se showed the official numbers the same people defending it would still do so and say se messed up their numbers or that they forgot to include every server. some people refuse to see the truth even when real numbers are sitting in front of them.

I second your thread only because if they were willing to post server populations, maybe I will get /sea all back.

I don't see the point of it at this point in time aside from giving haters some more fuel.

Why do people care? I play it cause I enjoy it. I don't care who else is playing, and definately don't give a flying frog about how many people are not interacting with me directly.

Couldn't care less if me and my Linkshell were the only ones left on the servers. Really don't care.

Also "It is now time"? Why is it now time? Was this descreed in unholy writings?

Shut up.

So apparently people do care, and whether or not you care is essentially irrelevant. And its a good time now because if they show the patch had got a lot of people returning to the game then 100s of trolls on these forums can't spam negative comments about how the game is dead or how no one likes the patch.

I mean I get that SE makes it look like the end of the world is coming in Eorzea but I'm pretty sure they don't mean it literally! And a lot of people on these forums seem to think they do!

edit: also why be so rude as to say "shut up". If you don't like the post don't read it or don't comment it. No need to act so immaturely.

It just amuses me that you say "IT IS NOW TIME". No it isn't, and honestly, what difference does it make? Outside of my social circle in game, I couldn't give a bee's bum about anything.

I don't know why I need to see figures to back up the fact that I like or dislike a game. It's personal choice if you play it or not, why is it important to know others are playing it too, on servers you have nothing to do with? If you want to know the active population of your own server, just login and visit the commonly busy areas.

I really don't see the point in your request at all.

@Vahzl
Short sighted. Once player numbers drop below a certain line, the addition of new content and improvements to the existing one will simply be no more "worth it". So I understand why some people want to know the numbers - nobody wants to be the last rat on a sinking ship.

That said, the current time is definitely not the best to release player numbers, because some of those who are on the fences now but do not log in would not be covered.

So again, how does this affect your current enjoyment of the game? Do you need something to be popular to like it?

One Chocobo, two Chocobo, three Chocobo, four, how many chocobo's do you have?

One has to read it in order to like/dislike it. Also if eveyone didn't comment if they didn't like it, you might think that everyone is agreeing with you by default. Now we wouldn't want that would we <:]C
