The population hovered around 500k+ for the last three years or so? I'd say "staying the same" is a pretty good description.

Is it worth to come back... That depends on whether you want to spend the effort to make friends, I think.

Re: worth joining back?

i see so its getting near impossible to level now? the population has stayed at an all time low for so long the limit now is that you can only just make friends?

I stopped playing for a year or so and I'm back. You have to try it yourself, people in the game have gone through different things so they have different opinions.

Re: worth joining back?

I really don't see how five hundred thousand people is too few people to make a decent experience party of 6 out of. (Yah I know they're spread across servers, but still) It always stumps me when people ask if there's too few people to level efficiently.

Currently the big barrier in the means of leveling is people's attitudes, not their numbers, IMHO.

Of course, of we're going to go into my opinion, leveling is perhaps the most boring part of the game. There's no story to it, no events, no major turning points really. It would be different if more people ROLEPLAYED a character, but nobody does that to my knowledge. Rather be doing a long and involved quest any day...

But some people love leveling, to the point were when they reach 'full' on one character they'll start a new one just so they can level up some more. I ran into a girl in Yhutanga jungle the other day who said she had four characters with all jobs to 75. Believe her I do not, but, she must LOVE the exp grind if that's what her fantasy for herself is.

Re: worth joining back?

my goal is just to beat the story missions...but my friends are really busey. I have Zilart(sky missions), COP(only on 4-1) and TAOU(got lots of this to do) so I'm good for awhile.

I level jobs that seem fun or might be usefull in doing the missions...or just what I feel like that day XD

Re: worth joining back?

My goal is to overcome each obstacle SE can throw at us with people I enjoy being. That's why I'm paying for this game monthly and looking forward to each update and expansion.

Also playing each job makes it fun too as I can start to see things from each jobs perspective and perhaps finally have a more clear vision of how Vana'diel works.

If your goals are similar then feel free to return as there will ALWAYS be something to do. The problem is which to do first.
