Preview of Adjustments for June Version Update (Part 2)

[Xanthe]

And wtf is the update note talking about with 'influx of new players'?

Maybe they mean the tons of new players with an "?" on theyre head...

On Bahamut Dunes are packed like never before. I started to play the game on EU release, but now its for sure fuller in dunes as when i played there. Also i see everyday 10-15 people in Bastok with an New Adventurer mark on the head, so yeah, many new players are coming.

Maybe your server is different, i dont know.

Pro tip: That's the usual batch of new RMT. Well, a good chance of it anyway. I know there are plenty of real new players too.

Considering recent figures put FFXI subscription numbers at the same value as they were several years ago, some new people have to be coming in to balance out the number of people quitting (especially when you consider how much of an epidemic people claim getting hacked is). The data was before Mog Banaza too (not that I actually think that'll make a statistically significant change).

I honestly don't understand how they say 500,000~ subscribers sometimes...there is barely 1,500~2,000 ppl on CaitSith during the prime time hours (granted, that doesn't mean everyone is on I understand), simply saying. I'm honestly not surprised they would do a bonanza event like this to try and spark people's interest since it has become rather bland with the boring WOTG missions. Here's hoping for exciting content aye ^_^/

Man, I'm totally going to get my girlfriend to try and lead a newbie party out to Lycoland since she's been grinding to burn her hoarded Anni ring up fast to get a new one.

Should be AWESOME to run around beating up wussy mandies, instead of lame ass crabs with ghosts around, worms, or three parties to compete with.

[bercus]

500.000/30~ is like 16.000 players per server.
Lets say 50% of those don´t play a lot per week and only log on 1-2 days per week. (I know many who only play once per week for example). Then there are also people who don´t play anymore, but pay for the game (I know enough who do that too).
50% of 16.000~ is like 8.000. And that sounds about right that around 8.000 different people log on each server per day.

That's definitely just your server. Right now on Lakshmi for example there are 2.7k people on, and this is around the server low time.

Alexander bounces around from about 1600 during what I'ld think is NA primetime, to about 4000 early on Saturday/Sunday morning. It's also usually around 2400 in the mornings.

Maybe it's just that FFXI is darn popular in Europe.

Thats because they all moved to Odin... orz.

Thats because all the rejects from other servers moved to lakshmi...
Cough Infusion, SpyralHell
...because 150 people for a day 1 faffy just isnt enough.

Blame the morons on Lakshmi for putting us on the map. For all people knew before 2007, Lakshmi didnt FUCKING exist.

....and i liked it that way.

And... for all the cyclopean efforts made to give people an alternative to current levelling areas in WotG, like someone said earlier, "good luck." Valkurm/Qufim/Kazham/Garlaige isn't mandatory, but it's what people do because it's what people have always done. Suggesting an alternate party spot is tantamount to heresy.

Statement especially the last line was just sexy. Had to quote it.

Anywho, Nomad moogles in Dynamis and other such areas like that. Is it plausible, workable? Would anyone even care? Crossed my mind as they are adding in Nomads that groups, especially in low numbers tend to jump out once or twice to job change in Northlands. Was a random thought in my head, feel free to shoot it down at your earliest convienence.

Changing jobs at a moogle fully restores HP, MP, and non-2hour JAs. Whether or not people would abuse it in practice, SE would never add them because the possibility is there.

If changing jobs at such a moogle gave you the same weakness that you get for reentering Dynamis, and set all JA timers to max (a la Sandworm), then it might be workable. But still, I don't see it happening, ever.

Hopefully by this you meant it SPAWNS A SANDWORM. I'd be fully in support for this change in the next update.

THAT SOUNDS AWESOME but no I meant the sandworm WS Desiccation.

[Taruhealingwind]

SE should engage the people who do windower <.<

These 3 changes go in the right direction at least.

Fuck that, I'm too excited now. I want a Nomad Moogle to wander around Dynamis - Xarcabard, you have to go find him, and he doesnt show up on Widescan. When you find him he spawns a Sandworm for every person that want to change jobs, but they spawn after you change jobs.

I don't get it are you trying to say he should have had his arrow pointing in the other direction?

Woosh me if you must...
