On Besaid I have seen a lot of new people lately! Though there are also a lot of people I know that just don't log in anymore or as much. There seems to be a core of steady players, and then the "revolving door" crowd. However this batch seems to be much larger than usual, so hopefully the retention rate for new/returning players will go up. ^^

The population seems a bit more evenly spread out too, though Ul'dah is the hub it is nice to see people elsewhere, even if it is relatively few. THREE WHOLE PEOPLE in Mun Tuy with you seems amazing if you are used to being alone there!
