Server Death

[HannibalBarca]

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.
