How would I explain this games never changing formula?

Interestingly enough lots of new people are joining. I see new leafs all the time.

I don't. I rarely see them. Also you can't say they are joining because that could purely be them doing a trial to see how it is.

I see them even on Balmung and Gilgamesh and those servers are hard to get into. We have a number of them in my FC.

Considering the amount of new people I see in game, asking questions here and on reddit, and the forum whiners threatening to leave but never do, I'd say the player base is growing nicely.

inb4 have you leveled all jobs to 60, including DoL and DoH? Have you gotten all Relics? Have you completed your fishing log.....

2 Eorzea Free Login Campaigns in a short period of time tell me otherwise.

Well this could be attributed to many things, maybe people are self-concious of the leaf and learn to switch it off, i know i did. Maybe it's the server you are on, considering all the servers are in one place, when new player sogn up they're are probably choosing the first server they see which would probably be the ones queued with lowest population.

However all of this is just mindless speculation no more evidence than anecdotes.

I've seen several people say their goodbyes in Novice Chat of Odin as they get closer to being unable to participate in it anymore. I've explained to people the stages of being recruited as a friend and seen people ask when they can use their cool Coeurl mount. I recognize sprouts with questions that have been in the chat longer than two weeks. There are definitely new non-trial players out there on our server.

Then maybe open your eyes, Behemoth, despite being character creation limited most of the time, has a lot of sprouts running around every single day.
