the game feels so empty these days

Pretty sure it is currently the most populated server. Last census puts them at 1.5 the pop of Hyperion for all levels and about the same for level 60s. Turns out Balmung has a slightly higher pop than Gilgamesh. The overall population isn't great to go by though as a lot of those will be bots. But the level 60 is more reliable.

If that's true than either the OP and I have very different definitions of the word 'empty', or people on gilgamesh just aren't playing.

I was by Limsa yesterday on my Gilga account. It put Jenova to shame on it's best day.

But I've gone after a patch and its a sea of names.

Tank Que Woes /We have 3 Tank Classes and if they were more of a joy to play at lower levels or in general that'd solve Dungeon Ques

[Theodric]

It's not an issue on Balmung, thankfully. It's consistently busy almost everywhere - which is very nice. For smaller servers, though, there's always going to be 'dry patches' where activity levels dwindle when there's a break between content patches or a major game releases.

We just hit the part of the patch where everyone has their Lore weapon, has farmed Seph EX and the raiders only log in for Midas Savage. Also yeah, Dark Souls 3.


Wait till Final Fantasy XV comes out, I seriously hope SE have a contingency plan for it because the active numbers will drop big time.

[SummonerSenah]

The only thing I've noticed is less bird farms in party finder. But that's probably due to a combination of people already having them and everyone else deciding they'll wait until the drop rate goes up.

So many hollows here.

Time to purge.

Most people will be 60 and there's no reason to go back to ARR zones.

Honestly to me it seems the reverse. I still people pottering around in ARR zones, while the Heavensward areas are these vast empty wastelands.

[RyuSaarva]

Most people will be 60 and there's no reason to go back to ARR zones.

there are many reasons to go back but if you do 5% of the game content then sure.

Dark Souls III came out as well as Final Fantasy IX on PC which is what's keeping me from the game other than logging in for an hour to do 60 and EX for lore. can see why people think this is now a job when it comes to logging in daily for that stuff. I tend to avoid Limsa and Idyllshire unless I absolutley have to go to those places, can't stand the meme speak.
