FF14 player count reached the lowest point in 4 years. We lost 75% of the playerbase.

[AnotherHighlander]

The last month in which the player count was below 17100 was January 2021, which was Patch 5.45.



LuckyBancho confirms these numbers.



We haven't even gotten to the second patch and we already lost 75% of our playerbase.



But I guess those $5 Hilda hairstyles will single-handedly save this game.

That feels accurate. FCs are feeling it.

I wonder how low it'll be by "Late March" when 7.2 finally rolls around.

I'm wondering what their backplan plan is if the new Bozja is not well received? Radio silence for 2 months?

Hey, If they have an insistence on it i'd like to just put out there . . Put Regalia on there.

You already put the Anniversary bird on Mogstation just put Regalia on there and charge the price of whale and make it account wide, My Ps4 acc has it my PC acc doesn't everytime it reruns i'm either not active or don't have the time to dedicate to FFXIV.

That being said, I do see why people are mad at Mogstation a specific haircut that's been begged for is Paid only, All the recent emotes aside from events are from shop. Even the limited time pizza one.

Just tell us you dont know how statistics and samples work.

You hate what I say because its been the truth. We've had millions of players at the peak. But oh yeah let's cite the steam charts as somehow being this sign of the 'endtimes' where during Endwalker launch when FFXIV was at it's peak, 53,729.2 for the month of December on steam chats. I have more trust in LuckyBancho as a sample size, as during endwalker the sample it had more than 350,000 players. Anyone who uses the steam charts as a proper sample taker is fooling themselves. Like congrats, the steam charts tells you the player count declined, so does LuckyBancho with still a far larger sample size.

They will probably just go on about "Guys just wait TWO MORE YEARS till next expansion and we TOTALLY PROMISE that the game will finally get something to actually do!"

Looking at the second chart with SHB and DT, it seems like--if I'm reading it right--FF14 has fallen back to pre WoW migration numbers. Only I imagine you have some refugees still here, and some of the old guard that dislikes the changes brought out by those refugees, hardcore raiders, etc, have jumped ship--but you also have a lot of refugees going back to WoW since the game's gotten good so all is forgiven with the scandal /s.

That's my read on it, at least. Similar to how WoW was at a low point during FF14's high point in SHB.
