One, who's already back to playing FFXIV because nothing in the pre-patch made him excited for Dragonflight. The rest are done with WoW. They're far happier here than they'd been with WoW in years.

Anecdotal evidence is anecdotal.

There is some crossover but it's not huge like you claim. They're two different MMOs that appeal to different types of players.

If you think WoW is to blame, then explain why we had the exact same complaints at the same point in 6.1's patch cycle where there was nothing going on in WoW to cause it.


Some players were trying to make Hali the raider/PvP server but I don't think that stuck. It's really just Seraph that has an identity. The rest are just normal worlds.

Hali isn't the least populated, either. That honor goes to Maduin, though not by much. Hali, Maduin and Marilith are all fairly close in population - and dwarfed by Seraph.

Queues also aren't world specific. They draw from the entire data center. I see a lot more Seraph players in my roulettes than players from any other world, which is what I would expect to see.
Seraph has a lot of ranked pvpers. Mostly alts.
