Crystal Datacenter Discord - Light of the Crystal

[Tsumdere]

Honestly, abandoning Crystal is the wrong thing to do, on multiple levels. I'm staying put because I don't think forcing the dev's hand AGAIN is the right decision to make as a community. Pretty much my whole FC is raiders or former raiders, and we aren't moving. We will make our own raid groups after the split.

The conclusion that myself and a few of my friends came to when making this server is that with everyone running back to Aether, it just means Aether is going to be the new Balmung. Everyone is cheering thinking the evil has been defeated when really, come 5.0 Aether is going to crash because everyone is dogpiling onto it.

I don't use discord so the OP's post won't help me much unless they willing to invite people through PF when they decide to do certain content. I prefer pick up parties to get stuff done as no obligation or set schedules to worry about.

We sometimes pull people from PF, but the general rule of thumb is members over randos.

If it's anything but a technical issue keeping you from having a Discord, I would recommend trying it out. You can mute all channels so you don't get notifications for anything but runs of things you sign up for and most of our sign ups are done on the spot rather than static. Discord isn't an obligation to be social if you don't want to be.

Members get priority over strangers is very understandable. Using discord is bad due to both a technical and personal issue. My computer isn't built for gaming and just running FF14 is bad enough as I got barely a passing standard score on benchmark. Having another program running in the background along with FF14 is just bad.

I have used skype on FF11 before during 75 cap days for nyzul etc. as it was a must. However, I hate hearing voices that I can't put a face to as it's very problematic for me. I can deal with just hearing instructions/orders but for talking socially it's no good.

Already made peace that I can't make friends on FF14 due to this.
