Loosing players after update?

[RiverTams]

Is it just me or does it seem like the servers are emptier as updates go by? My fc hardly even logs on anymore even though they were all very active.

No one seems excited about the update and mordhona is a ghost town on a legacy server.

Balmung seems as busy as usual. When I was in Lamia, it would happen frequently, but that server was almost a ghost town on its own. A lot of people that I used to play with, and unfortunately some of them were static members, left because of the implementation of fates and other typically grind stuff, or just the overall lack of new content. They just got tired of it. As for me, I'm usually on far more when the update just comes out, but take my usual breaks as the new wears off. I'm sure this game will eat up a lot of my attention with the release of Golden Saucer if we ever get it. lol.

What? I've seen more people than ever. Hunts are insanely busy and queue times have been lower.

Must be the servers then, Ultros has been a ghost town for the past week or so, and nothing has changed in this patch. Traditionally, in past MMO's a patch would bump up activity atleast for a few weeks, not so in this game.

This update I think upset more folks than interested them. It was dubbed the player housing patch and it resulted in a lot of resentment towards the offering we were all given.

Beyond that is mussed up controler use which admitedly they got fixed but really they demonstrated something to the fanbase in this patch and it wasn't a good thing.

2.4 is going to have to be pretty amazing.

A lot of people in my FC are just off playing Destiny. The housing stuff isn't the reason they aren't playing.

I think this is the reason it appears less people are playing

This was an extremely small patch. The people who aren't playing now probably were preoccupied before the patch.

^ that. Any inactivity was happening long before 2.38 happened. Conversely, 2.38 has made me more active than I was for the last month or so, due to needing to make more gil lol.

[nugglets]

Doesn't seem any different for this patch, but on the whole a lot of older players have stopped playing over time. This is the same with any game, though. People move on for one reason or another, often because they are the type of people who always want to play whatever is new.

That said, I also see quite a few new players while leveling up my alt WAR so it's not all doom and gloom.
