Average population per server

[Rae88]

5 000 people each I read

Edit its 5000 per world not per data center but yeah its pretty much all the same

That's old info I think. I think they said they increased the capacity of servers ... actually multiple times. They increased it a few years ago, they increased it again leading up to Endwalker and there may have been others

Easy math:

Japan - 125mln for 32 servers = 3,906,250 per server
NA - 360mln for 24 servers = 15,000,000 per server
Europe - 744mln for 12 servers = 62,000,000 per server

Am I missing something?
Are you saying EU has a population of 62 million per server?

I believe the current concurrent players per server is 7,000. They mentioned this in a previous letter along with the warning that them doing so increased server instability and to anticipate possible issues.

not sure what point you are trying to make exactly. yep, you are right, the EU has a lot of people, are you trying to say all of them play FFxiv?

just at a glance, your "easy math" is exceedingly misleading not to mention not indicative of how exactly things work in reality

It's more than 7000. They upgraded it to almost 8000 back in 2013 (their initial 5000 per server was earlier in 2013)

And they've done it multiple times since.

Well they upgraded the US servers a couple of months ago (i think its was in july) so more people could login during the player surge at that time.
Unfortunately they never did the same thing to the EU servers until now (i could be wrong though but didnt saw anything about it).

They did in September

EU has also gotten more new servers than JP or NA.

EU would also have been demanding that many worlds be shut down entirely if they had as many as JP prior to recent growth. EU in fact was demanding fewer worlds as recently as 4.0.
