Why so many plots available? People are bailing out on Crystal data center?

It's because Crystal DC has a lot of small servers.
But a lot of people used the free transfer period to go back to Aether and Primal too.

Why so many plots available? People are bailing out on Crystal data center?

The people who wanted to bail on Crystal did so during the free transfer period, which is long since over, and their houses already purchased by other players. There weren't more than a handful of houses still available a week after the free transfer period ended and that had people alarmed.

It's auto-demo finally being activate again for 45 days that has freed up the current available houses. The number available right now is still far less than it was last October before auto-demo was suspended and we're already watching it decrease again.

Our populations on Crystal are growing, not decreasing.

Any particular reason you're going out of your way trying to imply that Crystal is failing as a data center just because of housing numbers? Because I assure you we're doing just fine.

Seems like an overly defensive response to what was, basically, a simple question. And one that wasn't really implying anything... I think he was just genuinely curious.

If he was just curious, why didn't he ask "Why do those worlds have so many available houses when other worlds are full?" instead of assuming a reason for it and then using loaded language when stating his assumed reason?

Yeah, it's not simple curiosity. Players on Aether worlds have been taking potshots at Crystal since it was added. Getting pretty tiresome.

A lot of people I know consider Crystal a dead datacenter, for everything outside RP. Raiding /end game content ETC mostly because of Balmung. I know several who gave it a chance and jumped ship. Housing otherwise wouldn't be a good metric for this since a lot of people tie housing and RP together.

Unfortunately, this seems to be the case. People getting all salty about it doesn't exactly make people want to move over there either...

And yet what data center came up with the largest population in the latest Lucky census?

Crystal.

If all people care about is raiding then yes they're going to consider Crystal dead. It's very lively in other aspects of the game, though. The game world doesn't revolve around raiding nor does the data center revolve around Balmung.

Again, Crystal is doing just fine.

Actually Raiding/questing/msq completion etc is the core of the game. If you like RP, Crystal I'm sure is great. But to many stories of people trying to RP in dungeons and ruining the run etc have driven people who *actually* play the game as intended away. Hence the reputation as a dead data center. You haven't really countered the argument just reinforced it. If you like the way Crystal is, thats fine. But don't get defensive because other people consider it dead for what the game is actually built around.
