Population low?

[Velox]

The game is actually well over one year old. The one year anniversary is to commemorate the rebuilding and restructuring of the game. FFXIV originally launched in 2010, so technically the game is 4 years old. I'm assuming the OP was comparing server population now to what it was then during the 1.0 storyline.

Also for info about world populations, there's http://xivsoul.com/
Currently Exodus has the largest NA population, while Jenova is the lowest.
