Where ya all go?

[Lienn]

it's not all the older players think about. it's all the old players have left to do. my server is dead and all i have been doing is going around and gathering mats in hopes they will come back after the patch. the problem is they will come in for a few weeks then leave again as soon as moogle is completed.

This is the main issue. The game isn't enjoyable so people just get tired of it too fast. It became, pretty much, an one-time game...once you quit you never will really come back again...you might try it again a few times but it will never last more than a few weeks.
