The more things change, the more they stay the same...

Players have been saying the sky is falling when it comes to server populations since launch - my server is still packed at the best of times, and I've seen plenty of new players (with the sprout icon) running around. And then there's the fact SE has increased the 'XX million players!' heading on the Lodestone now up to 2.5 million players, so obviously there would have to be an actual increase in player population to back that statement up.

Really, reading between the lines, this is just another stupid 'personal housing prices suck!' thread by stealth, meaning it's a troll thread not to be taken seriously. *rolls eyes*
