There are thousands of players who just can't decide how much they should post something for on their retainers. They go AFK just staring at the bell thinking about it intensely. Also I've gotten in the habit of just logging on when I wake up and trying to solve the difficult riddle of how to start crafting this far eastern antique component. poo poo's hard.

I think the most shocking thing I've learned recently is that Koji Fox is his actual name. Like, his dad was a soldier stationed in Japan, gave his son a Japanese middle name, and his last name is in fact Fox.

If you talk to major NPCs after the MSQ, they'll have new text to congratulate you. Hancock tells you he hopes you and the company can become Nakama (though it's not actually that word, he describes it as 'friends, but better because it's in fantasy-Japanese')

(And the same applies for any other server listed as 'Congested' on their list, character creation is perma-locked and transfers onto that server are disabled) They really want people to stop stacking onto the same few servers and spread out more.

This whole expansion has been about the little things.

If they add cross-server linkshells and marketboards there will be almost no reason to care which server you're on anymore (though not no reason).

Minrad posted:poo poo, I might level crafters this expansion then. I'm still getting them all caught up to 60 for repairs, aside from moogle dailies there was nothing good about crafters in HW It really is like night and day. The only annoyance so far is getting from 60 to 61, because the entry level stuff for SB is level 61 and you get penalized trying to craft them. Like I'm in all HQ ironworks gear that is mostly pentamelded and I struggle to get 35% hq at 60, then suddenly I hit 61 and effortlessly hit 100% quality. Another neat thing is that you can buy a tempura platter from an npc in kugane which is like ghetto NQ seafood for 2.1k a pop. Really, its hilarious how much easier SB crafting is compared to HW. Provided this is just weaver and carpenter in my experience, which has some insanely good leves that don't have any annoying materials to get (1 HQ ruby cotton for nearly a mil xp. Or 3 HQ kudzu for 1.5 million xp. 3 HQ beech logs for nearly 1 mil xp). It also helps if you're a nerd with 70 gatherers to get a few hundred materials  E: It makes my friend and I a bit concerned on how yellow scrips will work out seeing how easy crafting is currently.

Are there any guides for the optimal way to level crafting/gathering? I've been told the most effective way to do crafting is ALL AT ONCE.

Fates and events and so-on still exist and they are legitimately better on busy servers where you're more likely to get the intended experience. Busy servers are nice despite their flaws. I moved over to an empty-as-poo poo preferred server for a bit and it feels a lot worse.

I could barely make any money because everything I tried to sell on the marketboard moved so slowly. Hunts were basically dead, and FATE trains just didn't exist. These days, Ultros and Excalibur are close to tied for server population. I don't think this was the case near HW launch though.

It's possible that either Excal's population has more devoted players, or that there's some weird thresholding thing where past a certain number, each additional player "feels" like more, but a few months ago the number of players with the 3.5 MSQ achievement was only about 10% different. e: or so I remember, I can't find the image. It basically showed Balmung way in the lead, Gilgamesh a distant second, then a huge mass of close-to-tied servers behind them, including both Excal and Ultros.

Balmung is out of control   https://ffxivcensus.com Sitting nicely on Exodus for now. It gets a little sparse in the run-up to a patch but there's always people around. Most FATEs are already left un-done. I think they just give too little XP for the effort/time.

I think the Primal data center has a much more evenly distributed population. On the other one, Balmung has like 2X the population of Excalibur, Gilgamesh isn't far behind that, and then there are 4-5 mostly depopulated servers at the bottom

I think part of it is owing to that Excal has a more-organized player base that still engages with world activities like hunts and FATEs. Ultros just felt very sedate by comparison and party finder was a graveyard until the cross-world PF got implemented.
