Population low?

Balmung is also always full. It is the highest population NA server as well

Guys, I noticed the population across most servers aren't like what it used to be a year and two ago. What gives? Which server has the highest population in the USA? Thanks! .

What? Two years? Game is about to be 1......

Anyway, FFXIV seems to surprisingly be well populated and active. I mean I dont know what the actual numbers are (2 million supposedly) BUT I see a lot of open world activity in this game after coming back recently. Where a lot of other MMOs are ghost towns anywhere outside of big cities, Im always seeing other players while im out questing. Ive met quite a few obviously new players in DF as well so it still seems to be getting new players. And im on Jenova, one of the newer, lower populated servers (forum avatar is old main).

You log on for 5 hours a week and your out of stuff to do.

You log off and play something else.

Two years ago Earth time was the calamity. I don't know what the server population was like then.

Lately I bet everyone is in at the Ixal area in Coerthas. I noticed Mor Dhona was pretty spare last night.

Well, its MUCH higher than it was two years ago and a year ago was the launch of the game. It also depends on what server you are on. Just wait till the next Letter from the Producer Live where they will release some statistics. Then we can discuss.

A lot of the people from the hard core FCs went to Wildstar, mostly for the PVP aspect. Hopefully they will come back, time will tell.

Ultros is hit and miss, when I play at night it totally dead, but during the evening its packed. Sometimes I see people everywhere and its hard to even fate grind cause there too many people, but when night time falls its just totally dead, no middle ground. Would be nice to have a middle ground server but oh well, I wanted to join Balmung for the RP but it was locked out. Shucks

Diabolos is pretty busy as well.

Some servers have higher pop than others. It's a matter of luck of the draw.

That said, just because your server's pop is low is not a omg gaem is dying (nor are server merges).

But, the game's a year old, and at this point, people log in for new stuff, burn out, then take a break until new stuff releases. It's the circle of game.
