Dynamis Bound! Rate your excitement level (If you're going)

I'll be making an alt there to replay the MSQ for the road to 80 buff, but I'll probably wait until the second batch of worlds is released. I hope it fares better than Materia did, I haven't heard good things for it.

Was just on. Dynamis was very much a ghost town. Absolute dead servers outside the NA peak. 2 parties looking for a tank.

I htink its a case of - anyone who creates a character there will be away travelling from the DC a lot of the time. Tumbleweeds were in Limsa already.

You should give it some time. Most worlds on crystal get really quiet at night. Not this quiet, but still.

I do think that the population on Dynamis is going to be a bit exaggerated though due to all the alts and new alt accounts being made on it.

PVP wasn't queuing and it was prime time. Going to take a bit for the DC to get on it's feet but I have little doubt these NA servers will fill. I'm about to transfer my alt and perhaps get a FC started to get that timer running.

I moved my 2 from Materia over this morning. I really enjoyed playing on Marilith yesterday and my ping is so good there I made the decision and moved the materia characters. I prefer quiet small servers so I can deal with it being slower.

I plan on moving my alt to Marilith this weekend.


Remember folks, it's a brand new DC and will take time to fill up. Have patience and don't transfer out to an older DC as soon as you can because it's "dead". Just wait until the next big population spike with its attendant gigantic queues on the more populated DCs...

Yep, we saw the same thing on Materia. There are long login queues and a wild landgrab for names like "Thancred Waters" "G'raha Tia" and so on during the first day, for the next few weeks a lot of daytime activity still as people get an alt to 30 for the free 1,000,000gil and the once off 15 days free playtime, then it settles right down, and becomes nicer too. All those popular names get bored and head back to their mains in other DCs. Leaving mains and alts who love small server feel (which is awesome for me) and those alts making the most of road-to-80 and get as many classes up as possible.

After the name-grab period ended Materia servers were also 0 limsa for a while, but now 10 months later have built up a population all hours of the day. To the point people de-rez. And yes, materia servers were also 2 parties need a tank in the first few months as I saw on Dynamis, that is now up into the 50s or 60s during peak. Dynamis will get there eventually, a year or 18 months most likely before it starts to feel a bit fuller.

It does take time, all new servers do; Raiden, Alpha and the other 2 in EU have - even spriggan did - but Dynamis has the advantage of DC travel that Materia doesn't yet have. That travel does help make the MB smooth and it lets raiders forced onto the server travel to other places to do their instant copied factory queues that they seem to love so much.

Do we know how long the free transfers to Dynamis are going to be around? Seriously considering giving up a large and going there but want some time to think about it.
