Server Population on the Rise

[Avraym]

I have noticed in the past 2 weeks or so, a dramatic increase on the Lindblum Server in player activity.

In my opinion, Lindblum is in the top 3 of highest server population, so to see even more players to interact with is great.

I formed a grind party twice (R30-34 & R40-44) and got 5/5 players in under 2 minutes.

It's refreshing to see more players in all areas enjoying the game (assumably due to 1.18).

Considering there is a large player base that will return to the game with 1.19, its encouraging to say the least.

Obviously not as teaming as life as launch, but it makes me confident that with PS3 launch, we'll be back to those numbers, or even higher.

Are other servers experiencing these positive changes aswell?

Selbina has a had a significant population boost since 1.18.

I haven't noticed any change on my server sadly. God I wish SE would let us change servers like every F2P MMO I played during summer.

Having static servers is actually pretty rare in the world of MMOs.

But FF XIV isn't F2P. You need to buy the client and later, when the game is fixed, you need to pay for the account

I'm on lindblum and there does seem to be more life in all areas. Even seen some old friends come back.

That is true.

i'm seeing the opposite in my opinion, even less people are logging in, people who play everyday stoped logging in or come on a few hours a week. though i do notice lot more people grouping up to grind, its still same people. it just might be around the groups i know, lot of them including myself are finally at the point where everything is maxed out or where it should be so there really isn't anything to log in for. if i didn't hit all max dow and dom i'd have lots of grinding to do ...witch is the only thing i see more of, people actually grinding witch is an awesome thing to see for later when we get new classes. hopefully it's just that i don't do much with groups anymore waiting for content that i'm just not seeing the raise in pop, but..i doubt it least not on saronia.

I'm seeing an increase on Figaro as well. We've gotten new members in our LS and more of our members who joined since release have returned. Ul'dah is still the place to be (and I feel that SE is helping this due to increasing retainer limits in Ul'dah and no where else) but I do see people in Gridania and Limsa more than before.

Confirming Fabul is still a ghost town besides Ul Dah and even there the pop is slowly decreasing I logged in to try patch 1.18 still a boring unfun game haven't logged in since then will log back in when 1.19 releases to see if there's improvement and the class change
