    How many people play FFXIV?

    I was just thinking the other day that Besaid was really full... Well at least Uldah was. It was incredibly easy to build up a party and we had to look for a camp because some good camps were taken.

    Sooo, it got me thinking... Is there any way to estimate how many people are playing per server now? I think it's more than we think

    lmao, Seirra.

    To the OP: I have no clue what the server capacity is, but some servers are surpassing it. Makes me happy!

    Yeah totally, putting the month before the day makes no sense.
    day < month < year

    But oh no, look at them go, measuring stuff in feet and writing the month first. ¬¬

    Nope, it DOES mean there are more players active ingame.
    I'm well aware of the fact that lots of players do not use FFXIVpad (I don't use it either), but a rise in numbers of people active on pad can only have two meanings:

    1. There are more active players in general, even though just a tiny number is using FFXIVpad.

    2. FFXIVpad is becoming more famous with the people already playing.

    Now I won't say the second reason is not true, but it's not explaining the strong rise in visitors since July 2011 (Remember? The time when patch 1.18 hit FFXIV..) while the number of visitors has been stable before.
    Since 1.18 there has been an increase in player numbers, and that's a fact.
    How many exactly though is a question FFXIVpads can't answer either.

    The second point have a way stronger impact than the first one. The thing XIVpads is still not a reliable way to determine how many players are active. More content was added to XIV as well, making XIVpads more useful than before. Don't forget that as well.

    I tend to ignore standards and go YYYY/MM/DD because every other method says, "Suck it, ability to auto-sort by date in an alphanumeric database."

    I like being able to find s#!t.

    That said, the feature to view how many people are currently playing is already in the game, Square Enix just has to turn it the $(@^ on again. When the game first flopped, they actually disabled it so we couldn't check for ourselves and see how bad it was doing.

    I forgot how disgusted I was with that tactic, so thanks for bringing that back to the surface.

    Dear SE: Turn it back on. Thanks.
