Dynamis low pop, high queue times.

I said I'd rather neither, can't leave your data center, no cross Data center que. So you want to be here be here, we are not Aether suburbs just for your housing. So ya want a house figure it out here Skippy or wait till they open more plots your choice.

You know if people couldnt leave they would just transfer back to Aether or their home DC right ? Dynamis is dead for content, even if everyone stayed, it'd still be dead, the only alive world is Seraph and, the others are empty

That's arguing a fantasy. The reality is that they can. They will leave eventually if things don't get better. Unless we have another boom of players, this datacenter will continue to bleed players or you listen to what I have to say.

Then they wouldn't have their house which is a pretty big deal to some people. They would stay and grow it over time, the only reason dynamis is dead for content is because rather than put forth any effort or try anything that might be a inconvenience that will just DC hop somewhere else and take the easy road because that option is available and they can get their houses here. It takes work and is crappy at first but you only can get out as much effort as you put in

I know a lot of people who left when their 90 days were up. At this point the only thing keeping me here is my FC. I'd rather not have to DC travel to do the majority of activities in the game. That's reality.

Now that we got that squared away, tell me why my idea won't work on a technical level because I'm not worried about ruining the community. I'm trying to help it.

It's the fault of both Square and the Players

I mean I don't beleive in ever blaming in the player base as FFXIV is a product put out Square Enix and thus they're the only ones who have control over any problem in the game. Players just react to systems in the game. They have very little to no agency over what issues are addressed in the game, or even if they're viewed as issues at all. I just view it as an absolute failure on the developer's side to be able to acknowledge key issues of the game.

I'd say the pitiful state of Housing in this game, as well as its years of neglect and indifference from Square Enix lead Dynamis to essentially be a suburb to other Data Centers. Housing should have NEVER gotten to a point where its the draw for moving to a different DC. But their obsession with band aids for the inherently broken ward system lead us here. The empyreum housing zone, which was paraded as a major feature of the endwalker expansion, hyped up for what? 3 years? Released broken, took a month to fix, filled in one cycle and now basically exists as a pretty picture on the patchnotes for the expansion. The fact this wasn't ridiculed more by the community is baffling to me to this day.

I'm not surprised to see there are a lot of players out there who grew fed up with the housing system, and saw Dynamis as an out, not realizing all the other issues a new DC can have upon release. But then this wasn't JUST a new DC release.

Data Center Travel has had a lot of negative impacts on the game, and not just for Dynamis. The Party finder system has basically dried out completely on Crystal, Primal's is looking a lot more scarce, and Aether has effectively become the Data Center where you go to do anything. This issue was apparent way before the release of Dynamis, yet SE didn't care, nor did they even really view this as an issue, what hope does Dynamis have at retaining a playerbase, when even more established DCs like Crystal are now struggling with keeping a PF afloat? I cleared the Asphodelos tier on Crystal, you cannot do the same now with Abyssos, the parties do not fill.

Regardless, this was another issue the Developers chose to ignore, despite all the signs being there when rolling out Dynamis. While none of this particularly bothers me, I was already accustomed to the DC Travel for everything lifestyle on Crystal ever since DC Travel was introduced, I'm not going to act like this hasn't been another large chapter in the circus that has been the Endwalker Expansion.

maybe they should increase rewards when qing on the datacenter to boost activity

U all ask for new servers they give it to u and u made the choice to jump ship to a other fc knowing it was going to be dead. But when 7.0. People will go to the new DC.
