Why Is Dynamis Dead

[NekoMataMata]

It was mostly that it would destroy server communities. Which is a joke. The amount of "Hey, leave this server to come over to my night club on my server!" Tells me the servers already lost those.

Sorry for the late reply. I kinda forgot I posted in this thread.

The only reasons are going to be for it are all selfish reasons.

Like I could complain about cross DC queues out of fear of that it'd allow people to try to play on low population servers during 7.0's expac and would probably end in my server having a long login queue. That's not a good reason though and the benefits obviously outweigh the downsides.

A lot of people are still here and starting here. I heard from someone that the game auto defaults to Dynamis. So it will eventually fill up. Heck one of the servers Seraph I think is congested. But I think if we get cross data center queuing the server you're on will truly not matter anymore. Which I think is a better positive for the game.

Everyone should play on Halicarnassus!

I made it off Dynamis. Had to destroy my house, but it was worth it. Apologies to any I offended here. I just couldn't take the queues. I know I could move to a more active DC and queue there but seeing my FC shrink over the last week as the 90 day lock expired, was the last straw. Good luck to you all.

I wish you the best of luck. Hopefully you find what you're looking for.

Well, it will when a new expansion releases and login queues for the game get long. If there are universal queues then during the expansion release when login queues get crazy people will visit other servers to try and have faster login times. Chances are people are going to do that anyways, but it'd be even better with cross DC in-game queues. This means that while normally Dynamis players might have faster queues, with all the server visitors they might not.

Personal opinion, but I really hope that they lock the servers on the next expansions release. If I'm going to be locked out of the game in a login queue, at the least make it so I'm being locked out by someone else on my server.

To be quite honest, even with the new expansion, I sincerely doubt we will ever see the more players coming into the game.

Most of the new players which came from WOW has already come and left and with Endwalker being the culmination of a 10 year plot, the new expansion will be a much lower key event and it would be surprising if we even see the same number of players as back during Shadowbringers.

Which mean Dynamis, OCE and the 4 new EU servers will remain extremely low pop, and there won't be queue issues like what we experienced in Endwalker release either.

I would honestly expect numbers to go down substantially, as veteran players get tired of doing the same old song and dance predictable patch cycle, while the monumental wall of a new player experience limits fresh blood.

I left Dynamis. I made the post about trying to get Eureka done, and I ended up leaving since I was spending so much time on other data centers. I became pretty disconnected from my FC as I spent like no time there and said screw it and bounced. The server is full of people, but even new stuff is dead. Eureka Orthos is dead, and so are Bozja and normal Eureka. I was just tired of paying for an inferior experience that other players didn't have to deal with.

Out of curiosity, why didn't you ask your FC to run stuff with you instead of disconnecting from them?
