Decline of Servers?

[Juneri]

Out of all the servers, all 60 something of them across all data centers, I'm pretty sure Goblin is in like the bottom five in terms of active population. It is in no way representative of other servers.

@Hyo -

thanks for the information! <3
I think I'd probably just transfer; making a new char wouldn't be worth it.

@Bourne -
Really helpful info, honestly. I wouldn't mind the RP aspect of Balmung; I often do lit-adv.lit RP on forums, so it could be something I could get into. Honestly, I'm most enamored by the idea of transferring to Balmung moreso than the other servers.

I have a question for you, if you don't mind! Do you ever have login ques for Balmung? If so, how often? That was one of the things that concerned me about transferring there. ><

Thanks, love!

@Juneri
Yeah, that's what it feels like. It's depressingly dead. I began in Adamantoise (well, Coeurl in the beta but w/e) and I remember it being booming in comparison to Goblin at pretty much any point in the day, in any area. I wonder if they'd ever consider consolidating the dead servers.

Yes, though you can cheese those. Whenever you get a queue, just cancel and requeue. For whatever reason, it'll immediately load you into the game. This only doesn't work after maintenance when a ton of people try to log-in at once. So it's never an issue. ^^

If you're looking to get into the RP community. Check out both RPC and FFXIV Tumblr. Good way to get some networking and meet people.

Thanks very much! You've been really helpful.
Definitely considering Balmung at the top of my list right now!
