Why Is Dynamis Dead

I love how we're still comparing years old servers with ones that are only a month old and expecting them to be similar/automatically calling it dead when they don't match. I feel like I've said this way too many times now but you can't expect a fresh server to perform at the same level as servers that have existed for much much much longer. The already established servers on NA have been through new player waves + the WoW exodus (which brought a burst of new pop to pretty much all NA servers, not sure about EU/JP in that regard) that is pretty much over now. Dynamis hasn't had the chance to get any sort of new player flood yet because it was released in a dead content period. Maybe it'll change in 6.3 but it could take all the way to 7.0 to see new players coming in bulk + returners that dip out between expansions.

An accurate comparison would be one of the new EU servers against Dynamis considering they're not super far off in terms of how long both have been available + they also havent had any sort of new player/returner flood compared to the other established EU servers. I would have also suggested Materia but pretty sure they're close to their one year mark and wouldn't be an accurate comparison due to that.

Did you actually just propose that comparing a new separate DC wtih a few servers added to existing established DCs is more accurate?

That's some serious mental gymnastics to support your copium filled opinion.

I mean, better than comparing one that's had many more opportunities to drag in a new crowd than one that hasn't. You're just asking for your expectations to be not met at that point and aren't looking realistically at the situation. Like, no duh a server that's been up for years and has had time to build a community is going to have faster queues.

Don't really care what you label it as either. Just I dont understand why people think Dynamis should have crowds of people to the same extent as a DC that's existed for years. As I've said in other threads on the topic, if Dynamis is still the same after a year or even after 7.0 then we can call it a failure. You gotta at least give it the same fair chance that the other more established servers have been given over the years instead of calling it dead before it's even had one.

So you admit that your own argument is asinine, considering that new EU servers get to dip into the pool of existing "servers that's been up for years" for queues.

And yeah, people don't particularly care about what happens in a year or 7.0. They'd like to play the game now, you know. If it bothers you that much, maybe skip Dynamis threads for now? If you show a bit of patience (kinda like you like to preach) most of them will disappear once the 90-day lockout has passed and unhappy players get to leave back to functional servers again.

Have some understanding. They need some kind of entertainment while they sit in that AR queue for an hour.
