Why Is Dynamis Dead

[UnrealTai]

I think the timing and reasons that people haven't been on much have been sufficiently covered, but I wanted to point out, once play does pick up with 6.3 and into 7.0, people will also stop going to other DCs as much, because the transfer time will jump drastically. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I could swear that I read somewhere that you are put at the back of the queue when trying to transfer, meaning you have to wait until no players from that DC are trying to log in before you get to transfer your character from Dynamis to another DC. When the new patches and especially the new expansion are out, that's going to be a loooong wait, so people are going to stay and que on Dynamis. Add to that the fact that all of the new players and alt accounts will finally be at decent points in the MSQ, and things should be popping pretty quick

That pretty much nails it

DC travel is only an easy 30 seconds or so "now".
But the day Dynamis opened it took 10 freaking minutes to go from Maduin to Goblin.
I expect that to return with new patches, and god help us when 7.0 drops. DC travel won't be worth the hour wait, and the worst part is you can't even cancel & back out of it once you start it.

So we'll have to have a Q by then.



If you /sea all on Maduin, the list doesn't even reach 200 3 weeks after opening still yet.
154 total players online in Maduin. I don't think anyone expected it to be THAT low. Yes that's right, 1....5.....4.... total online. Half are a mix of afk'ers & probably rmt. It's pretty bad here.

We'll see what happens with 7.0, if it doesn't get much better than that I can see SE pushing Dynamis servers into Crystal/Aether instead of opening 4 more.

If you're judging it based on today, it's literally 8 AM on a major holiday for the US and there's always less pop in the mornings regardless of what server youre on. You're better off checking tomorrow during the actual peak time because Marilith hits between 700-1k and Seraph's Limsa speaks for itself because that's alive no matter what time of day it is.

Please stop doomposting that because you ended up on one of the smaller pop servers (which we all knew Maduin and Mari were going to be smaller compared to Seraph and Hali if you were being active in the community leading up to launch & after) that the place is on the verge to be merged into another DC. It's not, I'm literally helping new players get through MSQ trials and dungeons on a daily basis, NEW PLAYERS mind you. I or others in the party actually ask if it's their first time ever doing this.

Also, just for kicks, here are the current pops everywhere at 9:18 AM EST
Mari: 300ish
Seraph: 600ish
Hali: 400ish
Maduin: 300ish
