Low pop server / Server inactivity

[Saseal]

Couerl also
I've noticed a drop in pop also - some maps just end up barren except for an occasional newbie player - which could also just be an Alt (like I have) - doing a quest or gatherers here and there. Fate trains in Coerthas and Costa del Sol just don't seem quite as big and even Mor Dhona doesn't seem as bustling lately (hell, even with my bad memory I'm starting to pick out and recognize names of persistant Mor Dhonuts visitors - I couldn't do that before, from sheer amount of people + bad memory). With exception of some occasions (like the fat chocobo train chain)

2.5 and it's splits might bring people back long enough for Heavensward, I hope.... or at least lessen the loss of interest in the timespan of between 2.5 and Heavensward

Edit: Like Rhas said, it could be that the server's player base is now just "too old" for running the older content - but that also might also mean we're not getting many actual newbies that stick around, either
