Server too full?

[Zenaku]

It's the people who aren't playing anyway who'll be leaving. Hell, I'm unemployed and this still doesn't put a dent in my economy..

I agree only the people who can't pay or wont pay would be leaving and i say good we don't need them requesting for stuff that they not going to stay around and pay to make it happen.

A lot of people would stay but we going to lost a big % then get a lot back around 1.21-1.25 and big % at 2.0 then a big % would leave when a new mmo come out that they like better then ffxiv.

It's a Japanese holiday event. It's a bit like April Fools and they try to see how gullible people are.

In reality "This world is currently experiencing unusually heavy traffic" translates to "we reduced server capacity to save money"

No, more like persistent FFXIV forum troll can't handle seeing something positive happening to the game, so they have to find a way to spin it as a negative.

There's a definite increase in people in-game. Everyone's noticing it.

But trolls will be trolls.

Good lord it must be pathetic being you.

I hope they finally re-add total players online feature in 1.20. No more shame in admitting that it won't be a big number.

I wish SE would just merge the servers. I rather get a too full to enter sign every now and then than to walk into empty areas.

That would be detrimental in the long run, especially in the process of rebuilding the game as well as working on new server infrastructure.

I'm not sure what you mean...Besaid is one of the most populated servers. There are no empty areas here.

Not populated enough to get one of those server's full signs though! I bet there you take five minutes to make a party :P

Really? i saw many people quit besaid in join other worlds and selbina being one of them. Last time i was on that world it was empty i guess RP is picking up good to hear.

[Keres]

To wit, I literally just rerolled from Besaid to Selbina yesterday and there was a pretty noticeable difference in population. Both the cities and the field areas were noticeably more populated than I'm used to seeing.

I am curios as to what amount of players you are basing your assumptions on. I play on besaid, and I always se alot of players everywhere I go.All 3 main cities have a constant population. I never have rouble making groups.

Define "noticable more". Does that mean you counted the amount of players in an area on both servers? or Does it mean you feel like one server had more players in a specific area then another, to help your inner mind justify to yourself that your server change was a good idea, and you project that upon us in the forums to assist in again confirming your own justification?

I or anyone for that matter, can sit here on the forums and post claims that item or situation X seemed noticably more Y then item or situation Z. That by no means makes anything even remotely accurate.

Not to mention that some servers can easily tend to have higher population at certain times of the day then others. Thats just a logical tendency. Untill you have enough time invested on both servers, and take some actual counts, its hard to give any value to a post that says things like "litterally just changed" and "noticably". If you iterallyjust changed, then its doubtfull you have experienced both peak and low population times, not to mention unlikely that you have been to enough areas to compare populations in the more rural areas of the game so to speak .
