not many people on the forums?

Everyone says this game is really popular but to me it seems like the traffic on the forums are very slow and almost dead?

Because we're all playing the game

Its mostly due to the limitations that will turn people away early on

The amount you can post on threads daily is limited to your character level. Lets say you're lv 30, you can post less than 10 post per day. Additionally, you can only have 1000 character limit, which can be bypassed but not many know about it.

Compared to Reddite, for example

Also, Rogue/Ninja STILL doesn't count as a real class for "unlocking" the forum. I started as pugilist and switched to Rogue, and it wasn't until I switched to Dragoon and levelled that up that I could finally post on the forums.

And 1k characters per post is a ridiculous limit, this isn't Twitter. I'm constantly writing out long posts and then having to delete half of it or double-post, to the point that I just stop bothering a lot of the time.

A work-around for this is to write out your entire message, and then copy it, delete it, replace with xxxxxxxxxxxx (or something that is 10 characters) and then submit. Edit your post right away and paste in your original reply.

It's a bit lame we even have to do that, but it will work.

Not really dead, or even remotely close.. Doesn't help this is the na forums and its 1am, smack dab in the middle of America . also what's forum population have to do with the game? Lol. All you'll find here is a few randoms like me(because I'm laying in bed browsing forums befor I pass out) and a bunch of trolls and the angry kids. The rest of them spend more time on the game.

everyone knows english forums are obviously NA forums xD

Who cares about all the other English speaking countries, or every country not represented (Spanish, Portuguese, Russian...) ?

I'd be surprised if more than 20% of the game's population know the forum exists (or even really care about them).
