Possibly returning from Midgardr

Hey guys, quick Q; with all the changes to FFXI, I really want to make a come back , whats the population # on the server, or is it slowly dying again ( hence why server merger was needed? )

Also, I dont have my installation disks or any registering codes, is there a free way to download all the pol, game , expansions if i somehow remembered my playonline username?

thanks in advance

We were idling at 1500 last time I bothered to do a /sea all. Pretty sure I saw it spike up to 2,500 during the holiday.
