Before the NA data center change happened, what were the preferred NA servers?

Brynhildr
Coeurl
Diabolos
Goblin
Malboro
Zalera

Those names look familiar? SE bundled up every preferred world in NA and stuck them all in Crystal along with Balmung and Mateus. Is it really any wonder that the only remaining preferred worlds in NA happen to be worlds that were preferred in the first place?

Did I ever state that Crystal was full? No, I said Crystal was fine. If people were abandoning Crystal in droves like some of you have been trying to imply, then all 6 of the worlds that were preferred before the data center change should still be preferred. Instead only currently 3 are. The population here has grown whether you guys want to believe it or not, just as the population has grown on the worlds in Aether and Primal.

Ask yourselves why you're so obsessed with the population on Crystal when you don't play here. What does it matter to you when it's got nothing to do with your queue times or party finder listings? Maybe stick to worrying about what's going on in your own data centers instead of taking pot shots at another one.

If we are as low pop as you're implying, at least we'll be getting to play the game next week while you're stuck in neverending queues. Enjoy!

Also from you in this thread yesterday -

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.

Other preferred worlds that were preferred before and after the datacenter split: Midgardsormr, Siren, Lamia, Hyperion, Famfrit, etc on both Primal and Aether. There's the census you're referring to in your comment yesterday about Crystal being high pop, and then there's what square enix themselves have announced today for preferred, standard and congested servers. You yourself said Crystal datacenter has highest population when in aether you can't even make a character on any server at peak times and it has 5 congested worlds, not 1. No wonder there's no housing available in aether.

And going back to counting houses in this thread - Famfrit today had 5 small in lav beds, 2 in Mist, a couple in Goblet. No mediums. The plots from the big demo day are getting snatched.
