Whats FFXIVpad?

Its a bit of a community site, it revolves around tracking character statistics, parsing out achievements and xp gains and presenting them all in a really slick and easy to read and understand way. Really cool site.

On October 4th, 2010, the highest recorded population was between 45 and 50 thousand. By October 25th, 2010, the recorded population was around 36 thousand. After those stats were published, SE removed the ability to see server populations. I imagine we're somewhere around 20 to 30 thousand now. We're definitely below launch numbers (45-50 thousand active players.)

I play for the most part at the end of the week / weekend due to school, so my numbers may be inflated by weekend numbers, but I see a lot of people on Selbina, my screen can only load 40 at a time but hey I see a lot of different 40 people just in Uldah, and if I see more than 20 people in Gridania on my server, thats a good population day for Gridania! I was told by people on Besaid that Besaid population is on par with Selbina if not a little less but who knows, I think its because Besaid and Selbina were "official" w/e servers, like Selbina the JPs wanted it for themselves but XI players worldwide wanted it to, and then the french also said "its the francophone server" so its looking like a weird America from back in the day if Japan was one of the powers also. And Besaid is official RP I heard. I would love to know the exact population I think they said we'll get this when we pay for the game and have the /sea all functions which are pre 2.0 and at the very latest at 2.0. At least this thread tells SE we're still interested in that. I understand though that while the game isn't in its hottest state the people who write articles , basic free marketing, might slam XIV for its numbers and that leads to a vicious cycle worse than now of people not wanting to pick up the game.

http://xivpads.com/ I think has the closest numbers for just people who updated their game for a patch, it doesn't automatically reflect those who play though.

Saronia is rated as a low populated server when you create a new character and select servers. But I constantly see lots of people around morning, noon and night
