I guess it's time

More precisely: Critera same as the last time, must be above level 21. Any changes to HP/mount/minion/gear counts character as active.
From an older survey of the same person: https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comme...y_730k_active/

If anyone can speak japanese, feel free to compare other numbers o.o

Even at level 21 is still not accurate, even if it was lvl49 or 59 is not accurate, people can get there and quit, those active numbers don't represent much simply because people can quit, meaning those players might have been active for X amount of time and then quit for good, meanwhile people who cleared story are proof they kept active.

Also, there's bots of lvl50 and lvl60, so again lvl21 limit doesn't mean anything.

Thanks for posting that, Zojha.

Wow, look at that. Everything I said was totally correct!

And that's why I prefer actual data rather than guessing. I enjoy being right.

You're not right, read my post above.

The reddit link says that it doesn't include any players under level 20, so some weeding out has been done, & it is April 20th which was 2 full months after 3.2 dropped.

Again I'm aware the playerbase isn't huge as they try to lead on but it is bigger than you give it credit for & is the second highest subbed paid mmo behind WoW according to the internetz. If it didn't have a good playerbase then why is Yoshi okay with never changing? Clearly it's making them money the way they do it now.

Bots lvl50 and 60, never seen them? I'm sure you have, do you really think gold spammers make gil just out of low lvl bots? I could farm low level mobs and make no gil, they're leveling them up. -.-
