Haven't played since May 2015 and was wondering what's the current population like. Since I play mostly 7:30pm to 12am est I remember before I took time off it was very dead. Any groups looking for experienced players or is everyone doing the solo/low man stuff. Most my friends have moved on but I got that ffxi itch again. Any advice is appreciated.

6man groups with high availability are where its at now. Come back and enjoy the /new/ content. its a cheap hobby. theres plenty of groups that could make you enjoy the game

Find a tight-knit group of a few other players. The game has transitioned almost entirely to 6-man or less content. It works perfectly for me with my small group of close friends. If you find a good group of people, you'll really enjoy it. Just don't expect the content to wow you if you're solo. This game is not meant to be played alone.

That's the problem. My tight group mostly jumped on the ff14 train

I pretty much have done all of vagery before I left and did the first part of the new 3 part add on and would like to know if any groups on Bismarck are doing stuff at 8pm est till midnight.

If you're dedicated to coming back and don't have any friends on your current server, I would probably suggest transferring to something more populated, such as Asura or Odin. You'll most likely find more people with whom you could network on a larger server, as I hear Bismarck is not one of the more active servers at the moment.

Hey Nick! Hope u remember me from ol days,glad to see ur still arround here somewhere :) I kinda stopped playng XI when XIV came out in 2013 but i got the same itch and i still come arround on major updates as most of the times its pretty dead like you noticed yourself.I sugest doin the final missions (rhapsodies of vana diel) as they r a lot of fun and i found a lot of ppl coming back to play them especially during the free log in campaign.As for the endgame stuff it takes ages to get even a small group going and its a big waste of time.Peace and hope to see ya arround next time they update rhapsodies of vanadiel~!

Still dead, especially on weekdays. About 400 people on during NA primetime (your play time).
