Remember Everyone, FFXIV is a dying game :^)

Lucky Bancho Active Character Statistics

Fun aside, this is an uptick of 412,000 from the last census on February 10th. Between returning players and new players, XIV has nearly doubled its active character population going into Shadowbringers. Of course, this number will inevitably drop as people lose interest but it remains the highest total XIV has ever mustered.

For a little extra trivia

Top Five Servers (Population)

Balmung
Mateus
Gilgamesh
Cactuar
Cerberus

Unsurprisingly, Crystal is the most populated Datacenter

Was Raubahn Savage really that bad? Did Pippin Savage leave a hole in your chest?

Well, just you wait for Beacon Savage!

Considering I was on Balmung during all that yes and yes. Looking forward to Alphinaud Ultimate World Fist of the you're not getting into this dungeon.

Also why on earth did anyone think this game was dying. Who? WHY!?

The guy who originally convinced me to migrate to FFXIV from ESO (glad he did) has only one character, and it's on Balmung. I know him IRL, so I used to watch him play the game before I even got into it. I was never around for the launch of Stormblood, but I watched him having to deal with it.

He really wanted to progress in the story, but there was a cutscene that, upon ending, would not allow the players to enter a solo fight or something like that. Apparently, it was an error due to server load. What made it worse is that the entire cutscene had to be restarted to try it again.

Most people gave up after two or three tries. He tried for like an hour and just spammed it. Eventually, he got through. After that, his FC was jealous until the issue was resolved.

About that. In a separate interview, Yoshida said they will purposely avoid putting solo instances early in the MSO due to what happened with Stormblood. They also have a "kill switch" that lets them immediately deactivate Trusts should they cause issues. It actually sounds like they are far better prepared for the onslaught this time around.

Oh believe me I KNOW that Crystal center is the most populated datacenter. Every time I try to log in I get a player in queue message. You damn wanderers need to get off my land! Oh and stop showing up half naked!
