Going back to JP servers...

[MilesSaintboroguh]

heh...I have found Japanese players to be just as elitest as any NA/EU player.

Though, my real question is, why post this here and not just make the server change? Wanting us to talk you out of it? o.O

Because they want attention. The same reason people who "quit" anything have to make a dramatic exit.

[Sartori]

So apparently you joined the wrong Free Company too?

JP are full of elitest and full of ******* Just like NA player base. I remember in 1.0 the jp players went to NA community forums and said a few worlds follow by no NA enter please thank you. I also remember being in one of them that was base around JP/Australia players man did that world made me feel bad everyone talking bad about NA from JP to Australia players. I got so mad about everyone talking bad about NA that i delete my char and start over that how bad it was.

I'm not saying that all JP players are like that but the same can be said about NA players. The issue with NA players is we want speed runs i don't want to waste 40m in a dungeon. When you could easy pull a full room and kill them all without issue. I always look at the gear of the players if the healer and tank is good then i say speed run please. If not then i just let them do w/e they want and move on .

I hope you find a world that not full of elitest but that going to be hard to do lmao.

EM primals being farmable in DF, too hard over on NA servers.

The top NA raiding servers don't even break the top 20 as a % of players. Tonberry leaves every other NA world in the dust just below them.

First one is ponies per datacenter, second one is amount of players with wind-up louisox which is an achievement item for clearing final coil. Granted you have to claim it from the NPC, but this is true for every world so every world gets that variable.

That's really interesting.
Do they often update this kind of information? Would love a link.
edit: oh i think i found it by using a key word in the link title - I am not sure how to pull up 1 stat across all worlds like you have though

whoa... no wonder I can't turn around without bumping into a Final Witness or folks with butt wings. O_O I had thought all servers had gotten through FCoB as much as I see on Atomos.

If anyone needs numbers for the first picture:

First table:

Nightmare
JP: 17991
NA: 3700
EU: 1170

Ifrit
JP: 1366
NA: 460
EU: 168

Garuda
JP: 2418
NA: 1108
EU: 496

Titan
JP: 5507
NA: 559
EU: 174

Leviathan
JP: 6654
NA: 1631
EU: 537

Ramuh
JP: 2206
NA: 768
EU: 277

Shiva
JP: 2073
NA: 605
EU: 201

Second table indicates people who has x number of mounts. So for example, that makes 10 people across JP datacenters who have all 7 mounts, 0 in NA, and 3 in EU.

You're making a LOT of assumptions about the nature of the playerbase in your post. Yes, I can see numbers, but those numbers don't really indicate anything because I have no idea of the nature of the playerbase. For all I know, a larger portion of the NA/EU playerbase prefers to roleplay over farming EX mounts. That doesn't necessarily mean they don't have the ability to farm mounts, it just means they choose not to. Same thing with people who prefer to play MMOs to strictly socialize, or focus 99% of their energies on crafting. Maybe more people choose to farm plants over farming coil. I don't know, so I can't draw any conclusions out of those numbers other than "well those are nice numbers."

My point being is that a number such as a % of the playerbase doesn't really MEAN anything by itself unless we know what that number is being compared against and how each member of the playerbase chooses to spend their time.
