How many moving here?

[Vackashken]

That being said, I don't see a need to argue about this. SE apparently thinks it might work out, and they're the ones with all the numbers. If it doesn't, they'll provide everyone with a chance to transfer to another server. No harm done either way.

Do you know why you don't see a need to argue? Because there was never a need for it. I was simply curious - I forget sometimes being curious is grounds for being arsey with certain people. I am interested in seeing the numbers for future references.

Thanks for the civility

The majority of the french players are already on Selbina and I believe will be staying on Ridill. Not sure about the big German linkshell on the server but I think theyre staying too. Another of the biggest linkshells on Selbina is staying and theyre EU. To be honest I think the vast majority of eu players here are staying where we are.

Empirical or not, Atoli is pretty much right in that the numbers from XIVpads only represent a fraction of the whole player base. Even with MMOs, only a small part of players actually visit forums or other community sites, and an even smaller part actually participate in what these sites have to offer. But it doesn't really matter either, since the data from XIVpads should be a large enough sample to see a tendency.

About 16% of all the people who are moving to another server choose Ragnarok, so only 6% above the average. By far not enough to outweigh the fact that Ragnarok starts with a population of zero, while the others start with the large amount of players who choose not to switch servers manually. Of course there are still a hundred other factors to consider, like the fact that XIVpads is a mainly english website and probably less popular with german and french players, who in turn most probably make out a big chuck of Ragnarok's future population. Still, I think it's safe to assume that Ragnarok will end up with a comparatively low number of players.

Completely true, the idea is just to give a figure, not much I can do if people refuse to use the site (but want to bitch about the numbers lol)

Also you might be surprised that Germany and France are very high in the visitors, much higher than say UK. We do even have language support for them (Even Chinese XD)

On Google Analytics while US hit a nice 19k/month, France is on 5k/month and Germany on 4k/month, Uk 2.5k/month (all unique), Japan soaring up lately due to server merge page being pushed around on forums.

Quite a large visitor interest from Non English EU countries, even if they don't wish to sign up =(

Also I put in the tallies for the locations people have selected on their Pads accounts. Which will show that a lot of UK (and other countries) dont plan on going to Rag, tho a lot of French are lol. 50 people so far.

around 30-40% of french players are on Selbina but some of them will move on ragnarok.

For the french people of anothers servers, most of them will move on ragnarok , so this server will have between 40-70% of the french community, between 150 and 250 players maybe more if inactives peoples come back with 1.21.

For the NA and JP linkshell of wutai, some announced their trip on Ragnarok because it can be a new challenge, so i believe it's the same on others servers.

Yes, we don't have any real number of who are moving on this new server but, nobody can say for sure "this server will be a fail" or "this server will be a success", it's easier to doubt than to believe but some people believe in it and it may be enough to make an average server.

The posibility to move is now available, we will see in few weeks.

Ragnarok FTW !

Hello Ragnarok!!

Me and my husband are moving over from Lindblum and from the UK ^O^

[Vackashken]

So 200 or more Germans moving with 200+ or more French? Coupled with several Japanese shells wanting to come for a fresh start?

They should give it the GE/FR title they were planing to do in the first place, lol.

God vack, atleast wait for the actual transfer before assuming things.
I think nobody but SE has the current numbers of Players and their nations.and Nobody gives a fuck about Players in a forum Talking about which server they are going to.
U really have an Obsession about the whole ragnarok server discussion,almost a habit.

Im going by player counts done in their own forums. Its a base start thats better then nothing. Why does that matter to you in even the slightest way? In particular to the point of you having a hissy fit. As for my interest of course I am going to see how it goes (on Ragnarock) to see if it takes off or not to base any future choices for 2.0 when fresh server transfers happen. That OK with you?

I suggest you grab a pillow, take a deep breath, and scream into it and let out some of that rage.

[Black_Rose]

All i read there was a Big blaaaaaah lol.you obviously have a problem with ragnarok being labled As an EU server, and thats Why you choose to post in every single thread concerning this server picking in it trying to convince Others that this server will fail in a Way or another.
So who should take the Pillow now.

Don't bother answering please, i cant read your posts anymore that you allways try to hide under a mountain of sugar so noone can see your true intentions.actually ill put you on my blacklist to save myself from reading anymore of your crap happy wannabe posts XD
