Why Is Dynamis Dead

[Ardeth]

Seriously all we need is cross dc queuing. DC travel has already eroded server identity. It's why on Manduin I still can't hope to escape ads from someone from Crystal directing me to their ERP Cafe or whatever the hell they do. With cross dc queuing servers would dissappear and honestly thats clearly the direction the developer's want. You have your home server sure, but the whole region becomes your playerbase.

Now in saying this there is absolutely a down side and unfortunately I don't think not doing this is going to stop it from happening. That downside obviously is the complete loss of server identity.

Now I've played Wow on one of these "mega" servers and I can tell you they were terrible experiences, but here I don't see this straightening it self out unlss FFXIV has some resurgence of players again. It's not impossible, but unless when it happens SE shuts down the other 3 servers to new characters it will be a moot point.

I think Dynamis has a the Kmart problem and unless SE can right the ship it will go the way of Kmart.

Why would a new player stay on Dynamis when every other server is a better choice in every conceivable way except maybe houses?

The awnser is they won't. And come the 90 day locks coming off more will leave. That I can guarentee you.
