Why is this server so dead?

[Icybod]

This may sound incredibly naive, but ... is there anything those of us who are here could do to improve the place? Obviously some issues are beyond our control, but as far as aspects like community and diversity go, maybe we could work on that. I have no idea what to do, honestly, but this seems like a good chance to try and start a discussion about change, rather than the usual frustration at our lot.

And no, that was not a soapbox. I'm just a Lala who needed a platform. >_>

we've tried that and let me tell you it crashed and burned incredibly hard due to casual elitism (basically really really bad players thinking they're good and telling other what they do, creating an endless cycle of crappy people)

To OP: It's always been low around this time between raid tiers/patches. Wait until 3.35 and it might kick up a bit.

Probably a case of people leaving to join more populated servers or just people quitting. It seems like most of the time I log into balmung I see a queue pop up..

Siren has always been small, it has just gotten worse. Balmung and Gilga are absorbing people like mad. Server mergers wouldn't be bad as we have 2 servers consolidating the player base...

Siren is among the mid-pop servers, it's not dead. But as of 2016/11/11, we are in the later part of the patch (latest update being 3.45 a couple of weeks ago), so many people are playing other games until FF XV, or patch 3.5.
