It's kinda sad to see FFXI die everyday :(....... I remember back in the days when the servers were packed, now towns are dead and it's just said :(
Excuse me if this isn't thread-worthy.

Its not dead, Skjalf does events all day and night on Odin. Its active and fun : )


So far today Skjalf has done the following with mostly /yell parties + a couple of friends / LS people:


Puppet in Peril (Difficult) x2

Shiva Prime (Difficult) x1 or was it twice?

AAMR (Difficult) x1

Aello x12

Did Synergy stuff with friend. :)

Qilin x12

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

I think you just need an active LS to ignore the crappy server count. Cerberus barely pushes 400 and I'm sure 1/4 is afk in jeuno. But we try and always keep something going on in my LS, if it's delve, ADL, or getting people little stuff they need :)

It's not what it used to be for sure, but it's still fun if you have the right people... which is always how FFXI has been.

No idea what I've been playing for the past few months with good friends if the game is dead. Has it been WoW this whole time and I just never realized it? Oh God...


The game is not what it once was, but it is by no means dead. Find a good LS, do stuff with them, enjoy yourself. People need to spend more time in the game and less time making the same damn thread over and over.

If your server is really that dead, take advantage of the current campaign, and switch servers.

Something can't die everyday without being alive everyday. People have been saying the sky is falling in FFXI for what? 7 years? and it's still not dead yet.

True, some servers need some help, but others still have reasonable population counts. Bismarck and Shiva seem to hold around 1,000 players during NA time. (I'm not sure if it's different during opposing time frames)

Not 2005 numbers, but reasonable.
If there's anything dead about FFXI, it's finding gear below lv 80. To say nothing about below lv 50. (specifically the good equipment and not just random junk with a defense number attached)

It might also help to raise player counts by actually allowing people to pay for the game - if you read the ongoing issues on the ffxi forum there is a huge issue with people not having a method of payment to get on the game.
One of the SE Forum Links

That said, yeah 700ish users on Phoenix on a Sunday is indeed depressing and not a good sign for the future.

(While I don't see xi ending, what I do see coming is a server merge) >.<

Also, Skjalf was proposed yesterday in /yells in Jeuno.
So FFXI isnt just alive, it also wants to procreate.

The game is not dead, you just have to adapt to less people being on it lol and get a good ls or do what i do and take ur time and enjoy the game.....I started over couple times and i'm on me 3rd time as unlike everyone else i dont burn me job i actully like leveling them and learning the job as i cap me stats... Im even working this time on having all me crafts capped so if i need something made i can make mostly what i need... The game is only dead if ur too lazy to get off your bum and do something or find people that are doing something lol, so stop moaning and do something, or move server or go play something else lol

Is the concept of something dying out really that hard for some of you to fathom?

"Oh but the EQ servers are still up, that game is alive and kicking OP!!! You're wrong!!! It's not dead!!! It's not dead if at least one person is online!!!"

***'s old. I've never seen so many people in denial and defensive over a video game's decline quite like this one.
