Is it worth coming back?

[Sothe]

I haven't played FFXIV in a few months due to school and life reasons. I've been thinking about rejoining now that I have free time again.

I remember when I stopped playing that I started getting burnt out by playing so much. Has much changed in the past few months? Is it worth resubscribing?

You may want to check out the huge content update that happened in 2.1. Plus we're getting closer and closer to another big one as 2.2 is just around the corner now. I still have lots to do even though I haven't skipped a few months like you, so yeah, there's plenty.

I would suggest coming back, as @ShadowDan said there is plenty of new content, especially at end game. Here's my advice, because I did sort of the same thing and am on a small hiatus atm. Don't over play, if you get ticked, take a break, play ACIV or something . Also, mix it up, I got very tired of just trying to get the best and do everything for one job, however fell in love with it again when I lvl'd BRD up and BTN and CUL, now I have much more to keep me entertained and to think about while gaming.

Thanks for the advice you two. I always have issues playing in moderation. I'll try my best though.

Also, I'll probably be rerolling a character on a new shard. How fairs the population of worlds for a North West Canadian?

Heh join the club. Mmo's tend to attract my attention and i'll end up playing 8+ hours a day and still not feeling like I'm getting everything I want to get done. I play solo alot and still manage to keep myself busy on one toon for 4-5 days a week between helping FC and Linkshell people and doing the solo farming and crafting that I like to do to make money.

as far as Canadian goes, whats that Pacific or Central Timezone? I know here on Famfrit thats like primetime and theres always people doing stuff and shouting for stuff either on Limsa / Mor Dhona / Wineport.

I call shenanigans. The only time I've ever seen Revenant's Toll that empty is immediately following a maintenance. Even off peak times it's got far more people than that. Heck, even the starting cities have more people than that.

I find this image to be an inaccurate representation. I'm on Excalibur and this is no way a representation of what the population is like.
People in Revenant Toll started hanging out behind where the screenshot is taken instead of at the crystal and since PF there's more people hanging around in towns / market wards instead.

The population has decreased, as does with any game, but not THAT much.

[Odd]

Nope.

I have never once tried using the DF for CT. I use the PF, and have never waited more than 10 minutes as DPS. This is a big reason why DF queues are increasing. So many people are entering with pre-made parties now.
