Server Death

[AureliusDraconium]

Famfrit was for a long time a server where new people were suggested to start on around the time of the ps4 launch thus why i started there. A few months ago many of the players who basically were my mentors transferred and I didn't understand why. A lot of talented players left the server...I identify as casual and I do not attempt savage but I want to get better at other content. It was bad when I had pf groups for unsynced primal fights fall apart. I didn't understand and can't count how many FCs I was in that fell apart. Famfrit has a large population but only a small part of it remains active or transfers. What I saw personally was that there was alot of people in one of my old fcs who would subscribe for the story and dungeons then unsub after completing it only to resub 3 months later to catch up on it. To each their own if it brings them enjoyment but I wanted to do more endgame content.

When I calculated the active players on the server there is about an average of 800-950 people that are active during peak hours NA time (basically when people get home from work,school, etc). Furthermore, the population is less during non- peak hours NA time (about 400-600). I have also never seen the server population spike to more than 1k. The people that I counted do not include the number of people that are in a duty, or in a raid, or doing a dungeon etc, but I believe it won't have a significant effect on the number of active players. To sum it up the server isn't dying it's just severely underpopulated.


It is also to my understanding that a couple of months ago, about three FC's left causing a domino effect of people leaving this server, and causing prices to fluctuate to biblical proportions, since those FC's decided to purchase all of the servers materia, and several other items.

When I counted the players on the server (10 minutes ago from this post), not including players on duties, raids, dungeons, etc, there was about 748 people.

How many people are on my server on Phoenix? Should I be looking to transfer?
