Your looking at it the wrong way.

You do understand that if a player leaves a server to go to another, there is no net decrease in population, right?

k

no decrease in YOUR population there is a decrease in ours. Each server has its own population, normally a Game such as this should be able to sustain a decent population on each server, but as it stands it cannot, because the game is not appealing to the majority of MMO players right now, nor will it be until 2.0 (we all hope).

Once again, you're looking at it the wrong way. If they're changing servers, then they're not leaving after being unhappy with the changes. My server is nice and plump with people.

Exactly.

Now, I'm going to use an example with FAKE NUMBERS. Keep up with me here.

Say 1000 people play FFXIV. 200 people across 5 servers.

Now say 100 of them leave your server and join my server. Now your server has 100 people and my server has 300 people.

Your SERVER population has decreased, but the OVERALL population of the game has remained constant.
