is the night life dead?

[Zarath]

On remora it's mostly early afternoon which is dead 11AM-5PM EST. Night time/early morning here is predominantly JP/EU

i walked through qufim when i got home from work and all i saw was one party at the tower and a few people soloing worms. a year ago i probally would of seen 3-4 parties at the tower.

Right now it's about 12:30 EST. Most NA are in bed (school, work). In Japan the current time is 1:30 PM so most JP are at work or school. In my experience it's dead from midnight until 4 or 5 AM'ish (NA zzz, JP work/school). NA morning is JP prime.

During NA afternoon the NA are at work/school and the JP are sleeping. NA afternoon is EU prime but I don't think they make a huge % of the FFXI population.

[Epyslon]

A majority of the NA players probably work and/or go to school during regular day hours, they cherish their sleep (I know I'm definitely one of them). Just wait until summer until the non-working folk are out of school and stay on all night.

Yep once winter break is back ive got a month. I so can't fucking wait.

My last 20k EXP on MNK (now 64 @19k) has been killing Goblin's Rarab, Besieged, and ENM60. Getting a party in the afternoon sucks ass. And I either sleep, go out, or have LS stuff in the evening.

I'm not trying to start a pissing contest man I was just trying to see why SE wouldn't just combine a low # server to Odin instead of offering migration.

Because you would piss off hundred of people. First of all, there is many names in double, and I'm certain people wouldn't like to be forced to pick a new one after 3 years. You would also fuck up the economy and community (imagine getting twice as many endgame shell).

....It's. The. Fall.

Next.



Also, JP prime almost always has much bigger numbers than US prime, so it would be more accurate to say only the NA market is dying, but even that's bullshit.

But wouldnt you like to xp when you'd want etc ? And explain how it would fuck up the economy ..

ie. server with 1k on @ primetime 1/2 jp: "Man I wish more people were on so i could xp...."
ie. overpopulated server :High skilled endgame ls players: "Man I wish some off these people would leave" , Other guy just wanting to xp and build up his characters: " I'd like to go to a server with less people so i could xp and have a shot @ decent gear."

I don't know if any server is that low yet but this is what I'm trying to say, I'm sure people could care less about a name change hell I wouldn't, maybe people think differently.

When stuff like that matters that much to people - when they think there's too many people, too few people, not enough endgame, too much endgame - they fork out $25, and world transfer.

This might again, possibly, lead to an overpopulation of a different world. Say player A goes to world A. Player B goes to world B. But then, by random chance, players C, D, E, F and G all end up on world M. Coincidental, but nonetheless a shift in the balance of player base.

Then we have the world migration - like what's happening to Odin.

You're talking yourself in circles.

i would be angry if im forced to change my character's name. name is the essence of the character. ive created a storyline for my character and roleplayed my character and to have his name changed would just screw everything up.

Same with my NIN later at night EST (11-2 or 3 am). Noones looking, I've been soloing Rarabs for XP, haven't been able to buy a PT for over a week.
(I don't get home until about 10 or 10:30 pm EST)

On Cerberus, the majority of Sky/Dynamis/Limbus/etc LS's start stuff around 7pm EST, I don't know a single LS that does events consistently that starts them after like 9pm EST.
