At least you can camp NMs there without a lot of competition :D

FFXIAH.com has a semi-accurate (dunno how accurate) totals to the number of characters per server.

http://www.ffxiah.com/data.php

as you can tell, they are about the same all around. (24-29kish per server)

Fenrir's population seems fine to me, you might just have been on at an offpeak hour.

These are Jeuno only prices, right?

Re: Server populatioins

Gobo isn't talking about prices. He's talking about # of players.

Re: Server populatioins

server pop. is usually 2k-3k on valefor. even during the huge CoP peak rush I don't remember it ever getting much higher then 4k

Re: Server populatioins

Bahamut is much the same. I get a search number anywhere between 2.5k and 3.5k depending on when I search.

Take what I posted with a dose of salt (maybe enough to kill you), if you take the approx average and multiply it by 32 (the number of servers) it gets you around 800k players for the game, which is high. (~500k players)

I was also somewhat skeptical that FFXIAH could report useful numbers in this matter. The only way they could count the number of players is by the number if unique character names that have shown up through the Jeuno AH. However, not every character uses the Jeuno AH. I have some mules that have never travelled to Jeuno.

But then, we probably don't want a count of mules for determining the active population on a given server. One player may very well have multiple mules in Jeuno using the AH, inflating the population reported by FFXIAH.

Kujata seems to get 3500-3700 during japanese prime time recently, falling to about 2700-3000 during NA prime time. Off hours can fall to as low as 1400, possibly even lower but thats the lowest I can remember.

Re: Server populatioins

As far as FFXIAH, I've had at least three characters use the AH. Along with that, I'm not sure how well it tracks active/inactive players. It still lists inactive players when you search by name. I don't know if it considers them in the population numbers though.

Re: Server populatioins

it still has banned characters on the list for ifrit. So i think once they have ne action they are counted for good.

Re: Server populatioins

FFXIah is not a SE service so it knows nothing about banned characters, inactive characters or active characters. If they're listed ever on the AH in Jeuno on that server, they're going to be listed at FFXIah.com

Re: Server populatioins

I wonder if the OP went to the Aht Urgan areas, because Conquest regions don't have much people on them (Fenrir server) but I think it would be the same in any other server.

I get from 1.7k up to 3.5k players when I do a /sea depending on when I do it, the same it has been for a really long time now.
